Dolby Vision

The ultra-vivid image from innovative Dolby Vision® visual technology brings the characters to life with darker and lighter colors, offering a remarkable color palette you can't find anywhere else. Experience a remarkable color palette, sharper contrast and incredible brightness that feels like you're looking through a window rather than a screen. This is HDR like you've never seen before. Discover subtle details you simply can't see in a standard image and experience an uncompromised viewing experience, just as the filmmakers and creators intended.

The media player supports direct playback of complete Blu-ray Disc images (BDMV and ISO) with menus in Dolby Vision (MEL and FEL), as well as various file formats such as MKV, MP4, TS and M2TS. All common Dolby Vision profiles (P4, P5, P7 MEL and FEL, P8) are supported. The enhanced Dolby Vision metadata is used to improve picture quality and transmitted to the TV.

Dolby Vision®. VS10 video processing

The advanced Dolby Vision VS10 video processing engine ensures maximum image quality when playing any type of content (SDR, HDR, Dolby Vision) with any type of video output signal (SDR, HDR, Dolby Vision), improves the quality of SDR/HDR/Dolby Vision conversion and minimizes the effect of “posterization” (“banding”) due to more advanced 12-bit video processing. This also brings advantages when using the media player with older televisions that do not support Dolby Vision.

Designed for the ultimate home theater experience

Thanks to its high-quality internal power supply, specifically calibrated for digital audio and video transport, the PlayerOne offers stunning picture quality, deep blacks, vivid colors, exceptional image clarity and extremely dynamic multi-channel digital sound quality and precision with a wide dynamic range.

SDR > HDR

The PlayerOne is also capable of converting any SDR image into an ultra-bright, vibrant and colorful HDR image if your TV is compatible with HDR technology and uses Dolby VS10 technology.

HDR > SDR

With Dolby's built-in VS10 processing, any HDR content is converted into traditional SDR with perfect color gradation. Additionally, video processing converts Ultra HD video content into extremely high-quality uncompressed 1080p 4:4:4 video to display 4K content on Full HD 1080p displays. This process increases the resolution by approximately 30% compared to Blu-ray on a 1080p TV or projector. By combining these amazing technologies, you can take advantage of 4K UHD content on your 1080p TV or projector. Less compression. More colors. More details! For some 4K projectors, HDR > SDR conversion through video processing can produce even better results than direct HDR display through your projector.

DVD, Blu-ray and UHD menu support

View the DVD, Blu-ray and UHD menus and gain access to additional content (Director's Cuts, Theatrical Versions, Bonus Extras, Bookmarks, etc.) This feature is available with both ISO and BDMV (DVD, Blu -ray, Blu-ray 3D and 4K UHD) compatible. Or, if you don't want to show menus, you can start a movie immediately without any trailers or warnings. Seamless branching is also perfectly supported for perfect gap-free playback of director-cut editions.

R_Video – A modern media center

PlayerOne includes R_video - the best entertainment hub on the market with an impressive interface to explore your movies and TV shows. R_video scans your video files located on a local drive connected to your PlayerOne or on a NAS over the local network. Then R_video collects the cover image, background and various information like cast, director, release date, rating, etc. Then all you have to do is sit back in your home theater with your friends or family and easily choose your movie or TV show. Browse a genre. Sort movies by rating, duration or release date. Read a synopsis. Play the trailer. Then press PLAY to enjoy your movie. After the credits roll, wait for the next episode of your TV show to start automatically.

Best performance

The PlayerOne 8K benefits from the Hi-End version of the latest S928X multimedia processor with integrated Dolby Vision VS10 engine. The main processor includes four ARM A55 cores clocked at 2,0 GHz, a “big” ARM A76 core clocked at 1,9 GHz (with very high performance), as well as an additional core for system requirements. The resulting processor performance is up to 2 times higher than the Realtek RTD1619DR chipset used in the previous version of the PlayerOne. The GPU was upgraded to Mali G57. Combined with ultra-fast LPDDR4X and eMMC, this ensures tremendous system performance. The total Antutu score exceeds 300.000 points, which is significantly higher than that of the previous generation of R_volution media player.

HDMI 2.1a output

• Dynamic HDR (Dynamic HDR Metadata) – HDR data (depth, detail, brightness, contrast and color gamut) can now be optimized scene by scene or even frame by frame.
• Full 8K 60p HDR video support – UHD 8K resolution offers four times as many pixels as 4K and eight times as many as Full HD 1080p. The 8K format offers the most immersive viewing experience and delivers a smooth and sharp image. The PlayerOne 8K supports both decoding 8K 60p HDR videos from video files and streaming content with 8Kp60 HDR video output for the best possible visual experience. The PlayerOne 8K can also downscale 8K content to any other resolution for a better experience on 1080p and 4K displays. It can also upscale any content to the glorious 8K resolution.
• SmartTube 8K HDR - Some 8K YouTube streams are encoded in the AV1 codec at a much higher bitrate (around 2x) than 4K stream playback (50 Mbps in AV1 quality is equivalent to an even higher bitrate of VP9 or HEVC) . This significantly improves image quality compared to older media players that can only play 4K VP9/HEVC, even for users with 1080p or 4K screens.
• High Audio Bitrate – Support for high bitrate home theater audio formats, object-based audio such as DTS
• Full Audio Decoding – Support full audio decoding and conversion of DTS-HD, DTS X, TrueHD and Dolby Atmos audio tracks to 2.0, 5.1 and 7.1 multi-channel LPCM.
• Flicker-Free Frame Rate/Resolution Switching (FFRS) – The R_volution PlayerOne 8K offers an advanced flicker-free automatic frame rate and resolution switching feature that performs video mode switching before the start of file playback (rather than after), eliminating the unpleasant flickering when starting a video playback resulting in a better home theater experience.

DC12 output.

In addition to the high-quality internal power supply, the R_volution PlayerOne 8K offers a DC12 connector that allows the use of an external audiophile power supply (not included) instead of the internal power supply to satisfy even the most demanding home theater users.
