This is very interesting.. Check out the link:

http://www.vidvox.com/grid2.php

It’s a video dj av software that allows the user to create a live show from various assets (movies, flash files, stills etc) set on a grid. It can be set to free run, jumping from clip to clip. Some people have used it to live video edit. A novel control option is provided whereby a midi keyboard can be used as a bank of switches to play the clips in any order. Velocity and pitch bend can control the scrubbing of video files. The software allows to set custom in and out points on clips – $75 download – mac osx and windows. Screenshot attached.
