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 the more advanced 12-bit video processing. This also brings advantages when using the media player with older TVs 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.

Dual hard drive compartment.

Equipped with a dual 8" SATA hot-swap rack, the R_volution PlayerPro 3,5K can manage an impressive 64 TB of data on a single partition - that's the equivalent of about 1.600 Blu-rays or 800 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays on just one hard drive. Thanks to the removable hard drive feature, there are no limits to your storage capacity! Say goodbye to storage problems with the PlayerPro 8K. R_video effortlessly manages your entire collection across multiple drives. If you select a movie stored on a hard drive not currently in the player, R_video will prompt you to insert the correct hard drive to ensure seamless access to your media.

Hard drive not included.

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 PlayerPro 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), plus an additional core for system requirements. The resulting processor performance is up to 2 times higher than that of the Realtek RTD1619DR chipset used in the previous version of the PlayerOne. The GPU has been upgraded to Mali G57. Combined with ultra-fast LPDDR4X and eMMC, this ensures tremendous system performance. The overall Antutu score exceeds 300.000 points, significantly higher than that of the previous generation of the R_volution media player.

TCXO clock generator

Enhance your audio and video experience with the R_volution PlayerPro 8K, which features a TCXO clock that delivers unparalleled digital audio quality and video precision. TCXO technology ensures crystal clear sound and flawless video playback, even in the most demanding scenes. Enjoy your media with confidence that the TCXO-driven PlayerPro 8K delivers consistent performance and exceptional quality every time.

A TCXO (Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator) clock in a multimedia player greatly improves the home theater experience by providing exceptional timing accuracy and ensuring that audio and video remain perfectly in sync. Compared to standard clocks, a TCXO reduces jitter and ensures consistent performance across different temperature ranges. This results in superior audio and video quality, which is critical for an immersive viewing experience, especially in high-end home theaters.

Linear power supply with robust toroidal transformer.

The R_volution PlayerPro 8K media player features a linear power supply powered by a powerful toroidal transformer, ensuring a noise-free signal for improved picture quality, deeper blacks, and superior audio and video precision.

The remote control itself is equipped with highly efficient IR diodes. In addition, the PlayerPro 8K is equipped with an IR extender that allows you to conveniently place the device behind closed doors or in a separate room while maintaining control from your TV location. The IR extender has an adhesive backing that allows easy mounting on any flat surface.
