Here is a description on how you can use the Griffin powermate as a video controller with VDJ. With it you can crossfade video output, activate/deactivate and select FX etc.
First you need my Griffin2vDJ mapper (Info in my blog).
You can assign it to anything you want, but here is the settings i use to controll video with it.
In the Powermate properties application, set:
Rotate Left - Send Key - Q
Rotate Right - Send Key - W
Click & Rotate Left - Send Key - E
Click & Rotate Right - Send Key - R
Click - Send Key - T
Long Click - Send Key - Y
In VDJ, create the following Keyboard ShortCuts:
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+Q] video_crossfade(-200)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+W] video_crossfade(+200)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E] video_select_fx(-1)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+R] video_select_fx(+1)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+T] video_fx
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+Y] video_slideshow auto
This will give you the following functionality:
Rotate Left - Crossfade to Deck 1
Rotate Right - Crossfade to Deck 2
Click & Rotate Left - Select prev Fx
Click & Rotate Right - Select next Fx
Click - Activate/Deactivate Fx
Long Click - Enable/disable slideshow

If you prefer to controll the Video Fx fader instead if changing FX, then change the Keyboard shortcuts
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E] video_select_fx(-1)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+R] video_select_fx(+1)
To
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E] video_fx_param(-200)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+R] video_fx_param(+200)
This will give you the following functionality:
Click & Rotate Left - Video Fx fader down
Click & Rotate Right - Video Fx fader Up
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E] video_select_fx(-1)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+R] video_select_fx(+1)
To
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E] video_fx_param(-200)
[CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+R] video_fx_param(+200)
This will give you the following functionality:
Click & Rotate Left - Video Fx fader down
Click & Rotate Right - Video Fx fader Up

This sounds pretty neat... seems costly for a volume knob though!
Can this be used to scratch, position cuepoints, and pitchbend the audio, as you can with the platter of a CDJ-1000 or such?

You can use it for anything that you can assign a keyboard shortcut to in VDJ. But for scratching , well i wouldn't sell any XP-10 and replace it with.
