Dolby Vision

The ultra-vivid image of innovative visual technology Dolby Vision®, brings characters to life with darker darks, brighter brights, and a remarkable color range you can’t get anywhere else.

Experience a remarkable color palette, sharper contrasts, and incredible brightness that feel more like looking through a window than at a screen. This is HDR like you've never seen it before.

Discover subtle details you simply can’t see with a standard picture, for a viewing experience without compromise, just as the filmmakers and creators intended.

Our media player supports direct playback of full 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc images (BDMV and ISO) with menus in Dolby Vision (MEL and FEL), as well as various file formats including MKV, MP4, TS, and M2TS. All popular Dolby Vision profiles (P4, P5, P7 MEL and FEL, P8) are supported. The extended Dolby Vision metadata is used and transmitted to the TV to improve picture quality.

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 SDR/HDR/Dolby Vision conversion quality, minimizes the effect of "posterization" ("banding") due to more advanced 12-bit video processing. This gives benefits even when using the media player with older TVs that do not support Dolby Vision.

HDR10+

The PlayerOne 8K is compatible with HDR10+ technology. HDR10+ is the latest and most advanced HDR technology, building upon HDR10 to further enhance the viewing experience. HDR10+ signals not just the dynamic range (the ratio of light to dark) of video content on a scene-by-scene (or even frame-by-frame) basis, it also provides, with minimal metadata, the scene characteristics between bright and dark so that important detail can be kept. This enables displays to reproduce images more realistically, adhering to the creator’s intent. Whereas static HDR, such as HDR10, utilizes static tone mapping uniformly across the duration of the content, HDR10+ employs dynamic tone mapping to optimize each scene, individually increasing brightness and adding contrast to fit within a display’s capabilities.

8K UHD

R_volution PlayerOne 8K features HDMI 2.1a output to provide ideal compatibility with the latest 8K Ultra HD video content such as HDR with Source-Based Tone Mapping (SBTM). Your videos can be uscaled up to 8K UHD resolution (7680 x 4320), which is 8x the resolution of Full HD 1080p (1920x1080) and 4x the resolution of 4K UHD (3840x2160).

SDR > HDR

The PlayerOne 8K is also capable of transforming any SDR image into ultra-bright, vivid and colorful HDR if your TV is compatible with HDR technology using Dolby VS10 technology.

HDR > SDR

With the integrating VS10 processing from Dolby, any HDR content is converted into traditional SDR with perfect color grading. In addition, the video processing converts Ultra HD video content into extremely high-quality 1080p uncompressed 4:4:4 video for viewing 8K or 4K content on Full HD 1080p displays. This process increases the resolution by about 30% compared to Blu-ray on a 1080p TV or projector. With this amazing technologies combined, you can benefit from the benefits of the 8K and 4K UHD contents on your 1080p TV or projector. Less compression. More colors. More details!

DVD, Blu-ray & UHD Menu Support

Display the DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD menus and get access to additional content (director's cuts, theatrical versions, bonus extras, bookmarks, etc.) This feature is compatible with both ISO and BDMV (Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray). Or, if you do not want to display menus, you can start a movie immediately without trailers or warnings. The seamless branching is also perfectly supported for perfect gapless playback on director cut editions.

HDD Slot

With its 3.5 "SATA hot-swap rack, the R_volution PlayerOne 8K is capable of supporting up to 32TB of data internally on a single partition; the equivalent of about 800 Blu-rays or 400 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (bit perfect) on a single hard disk. And as it is possible to exchange hard drives, you have no capacity limit! With the PlayerOne 8K, you no longer need to worry about storage problems. R_video can manage one collection for all your drives. When you click on a movie poster that is placed on a hard drive not present in the player, R_video tells you which hard drive to insert into the media player.

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 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 needs. The resulting processor performance is up to 2 times higher than the Realtek RTD1619DR chipset used on the previous version of PlayerOne. Hardware acceleration improves the performance of the R_video user interface and speeds up video indexing. The GPU has been upgraded to Mali G57. Combined with ultra-fast LPDDR4X and eMMC, this delivers blazing overall system performance. The total Antutu score exceeds 300,000 points, which is significantly higher than that of the previous generation R_volution media player.
