R_volution Player Pro 8K

Introduction to the R_volution PlayerPro 8K Media Player

The R_volution PlayerPro 8K is a premium media player that supports the latest display technologies, including 8K resolution and advanced HDR formats such as Dolby Vision and HDR10+. The PlayerPro 8K can handle an Ultra HD 8K 60 Hz signal with Dolby Vision HDR, ensuring images with unparalleled sharpness, contrast, and color richness.

The device is also compatible with the AV1 video codec, allowing you to enjoy optimized content available on platforms like YouTube. For SDR content, the VS10 mode, an exclusive algorithm developed by Dolby laboratories, allows for the conversion of SDR signals to HDR and vice versa, offering a significant enhancement in image quality. Additionally, the player features Ultra HD 8K upscaling to optimize the quality of lower resolution content.

Immersive Sound Worthy of the Best Cinemas

The R_volution PlayerPro 8K not only excels in video but also offers an exceptional audio experience. It supports the most advanced audio formats, including DTS:X Pro and Dolby Atmos, for total sound immersion. The player can decode a wide range of audio formats, including Flac, AC-4, HE-AAC, AAC, MP3, AIFF, and multichannel Wav. Thanks to the Dolby MS12 process, all these formats can be converted on the fly to PCM 5.1/7.1, ensuring optimal compatibility with your audio system.

To guarantee impeccable audio quality, the PlayerPro 8K is equipped with a professional-grade 75 Ohm true coaxial digital audio connector, supported by an audiophile-grade Pulse digital audio transmission transformer. This setup significantly reduces noise and electromagnetic interference, providing exceptionally pure sound reproduction.

Unmatched Processing Power

At the heart of the R_volution PlayerPro 8K is the powerful Amlogic S928X chipset, a high-end version specially optimized for multimedia performance. This processor includes four ARM A55 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz, a high-performance ARM A76 core clocked at 1.9 GHz, and an additional core dedicated to system tasks. This configuration offers performance up to twice that of the previous generation.

The GPU has been upgraded to the Mali G57, and combined with LPDDR4X memory and ultra-fast eMMC storage, the PlayerPro 8K achieves exceptional system performance. Its Antutu score exceeds 300,000 points, far surpassing previous generation media players.

A Sophisticated Design Combining Performance and Quality

The R_volution PlayerPro 8K not only delivers exceptional performance but does so with style and sophistication. Its sleek casing houses a high-quality linear power supply, powered by a substantial toroidal transformer. This design ensures a clean, interference-free signal, resulting in superior image quality with deeper blacks, better grain reproduction, and remarkable audiovisual precision.

The device also incorporates a 24 MHz internal TCXO (temperature-compensated crystal oscillator) clock, offering exceptional timing accuracy for audio (perfect multiple of 48 kHz) and video (perfect multiple of 24 Hz). This technology significantly reduces jitter and ensures consistent performance across different temperature ranges, guaranteeing superior audio and video quality, essential for a truly immersive viewing experience.

Intelligent Management of Your Media Library

The R_volution PlayerPro 8K is equipped with the R_video app, a powerful and elegant media library management software. This stunning graphical interface, featuring animated backgrounds, displays movie covers, associated technical information, cast, and much more. It allows easy navigation through your collection of titles using various filters (title, actor, director, categories, release date, duration, etc.), automatically groups and manages sagas, and even launches trailers.

The R_video app, combined with the PC/Mac application, offers extensive customization possibilities. Users can create custom movie categories and groups, listen to soundtrack snippets while browsing, and personalize the homepage and banners. The PC/Mac application also allows downloading custom content for title pages, movie covers, and backgrounds, providing a truly tailored home cinema experience.

Impressive Storage Capacity

The R_volution PlayerPro 8K features dual slots for 3.5” SATA hard drives, allowing up to 64 TB of internal storage. This impressive capacity lets you store a vast collection of movies, TV series, concerts, and other multimedia content directly on the player. For those needing even more space, the PlayerPro 8K can also connect to the R_volution Nas, a network video server, offering an expandable storage solution for your media library.

Advanced Connectivity for Seamless Integration

The R_volution PlayerPro 8K is equipped with an HDMI 2.1a output, ensuring optimal compatibility with the latest 8K TVs and projectors. This connection allows you to fully enjoy 8K HDR content at 60 frames per second, delivering a breathtaking visual experience.

For multiroom installations, the R_Share function allows configuring multiple R_volution players to enjoy content in different rooms of a house. The system can simultaneously stream up to four 1080p quality streams, two 4K Ultra HD streams, or one 8K stream. The upcoming R_Sync feature promises to perfectly and automatically synchronize content between different players, allowing you to resume playback exactly where you left off when moving from one room to another.

A Smart Remote for Total Control

The R_volution PlayerPro 8K comes with a high-quality illuminated IR remote control, compatible with both infrared and Bluetooth. This versatility ensures smooth operation in all lighting conditions and home theater configurations. Additionally, the remote offers IP control features, allowing easy integration with third-party systems such as Crestron, ProControl, RTI, and other advanced home automation systems.
