What are the differences between Serato DJ and Serato ITCH and Scratch Live?

Serato Scratch Live is a digital DJ system that can be used for DJing using conventional DJ equipment such as a turntable or a CDJ unit using special control records and CDs.
This system is commonly referred to as a digital vinyl system (DVS).
ITCH is a digital DJ system for DJing using dedicated hardware devices without any control records or CDs.
Serato DJ is a successor to the original ITCH software program that comes with the same basic functions and performance but includes support for a wide variety of different (fee-based) expansion packs that expand on the number of effects and other features available.
It also has improved Quantize, Slip mode, and other functions.
Serato DJ can be used with the same kind of DVS function as Serato Scratch Live.
*To use Serato DJ with DVS functions, you will need a hardware unit that supports DVS or a hardware unit compatible with the Serato DVS UPGRADE READY option and the Serato DVS Expansion Pack (fee-based).
(Note that this unit supports the Serato DVS UPGRADE READY option.)
