USB-C Integration

Hey PioneerDJ,

Does Pioneer plan to utilize the new USB-C connector on their DJ controllers?  It would be a huge advantage to connect to pioneer hardware and charge our MacBook Pros over one cable.  Controllers could even support a video out from your hardware for all the VDJs.

Which Pioneer controllers feature a USB-C port? USB-C is still fairly new, I don't think there are any DJ controllers out there that feature a USB-C port... yet.

It would be a nice feature for the future if you could charge and sync your USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 equipped laptop with the DJ controller.

For now you could probably install a USB-C or Thunderbolt dock into your equipment case with your controller have the controller hooked up via standard USB on the dock along with power and use a single USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 cable to connect the dock to the laptop. You could also run a DisplayPort or HDMI cable from the dock to one or more projectors or flatscreen displays.

I know I could start living the dongle life with all the new/ necessary adapters and docks for the new MBP but I sure would be nice if the dock was integrated into the controller.

Pioneer Team, how has the USB-C port been working with adapters for your products?
