Spanning a wide range of digital video and audio formats, the R_Volution PlayerPro 8K is at the forefront of HDR innovation, supporting Dolby Vision and HDR10+, and is compatible with almost all modern video file types, including MKV, M2TS, BD and ISO UHD files, plus fast navigation for BD/UHD menus. It features AV-1 and HEVC video codecs, capable of displaying a billion colours, and HDMI 2.1 output for 8K 60p HDR. For music lovers, it supports high-resolution formats such as DSD, AIFF, FLAC and ALAC, all housed in a robust chassis. The PlayerPro 8K also features Auro 3D, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, ensuring an amazing home cinema audio experience.
Dolby Vision technology transforms your viewing experience with ultra-vivid images, presenting realistically detailed characters with deep blacks, radiant whites and an extraordinary colour spectrum not available anywhere else.
Feel the realism of a wider colour gamut, sharp contrasts and brightness that mimics the clarity of looking through a panel rather than at a screen. Experience High Dynamic Range (HDR) in a way that redefines your visual expectations.
Discover the nuanced detail that is lost on standard screens, ensuring an uncompromising visual journey, true to the vision of filmmakers and content creators.
Our media player smoothly plays 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray content (BDMV and ISO), from a compatible external player, with Dolby Vision menus (MEL and FEL), supporting a variety of formats such as MKV, MP4, TS and M2TS. Adopts all recognised Dolby Vision profiles (P4, P5, P7 MEL and FEL, P8), using extended metadata to upscale picture quality directly to your TV.
The state-of-the-art Dolby Vision VS10 engine elevates picture fidelity across all content types (SDR, HDR, Dolby Vision) and output signals (SDR, HDR, Dolby Vision). It improves conversion quality between SDR, HDR and Dolby Vision, while its sophisticated 12-bit processing reduces "posterisation" or "banding" effects. Enjoy these visual enhancements even on older TVs that do not support Dolby Vision.
The PlayerPro 8K's support for HDR10+ technology marks a significant advance in high dynamic range viewing. HDR10+ not only enhances dynamic range at a detailed, scene-to-scene and frame-to-frame level, but also conveys scene characteristics with minimal metadata to preserve critical details. This fidelity enables a more authentic reproduction of images, staying true to the original vision of the content creators. Unlike HDR10's static tone mapping, HDR10+ dynamically adjusts the tone mapping for each scene, optimising brightness and contrast to match the display's potential.
The R_Volution PlayerPro is designed to perfectly match the latest 8K Ultra HD video content, including HDR with source-based tone mapping (SBTM). It can upscale your videos to 8K UHD (7680 x 4320) resolution, offering a resolution that is eight times higher than Full HD 1080p (1920x1080) and four times higher than 4K UHD (3840x2160).
The R_Volution PlayerPro 8K, with its premium internal power supply optimised for digital AV transport, delivers stunning visual fidelity, deep blacks, rich tones, remarkable picture clarity and highly dynamic multi-channel digital sound with precise quality and expansive dynamic range.
The PlayerPro 8K deftly converts any SDR content into stunningly bright, vibrant and rich HDR images, provided your TV supports HDR technology, using advanced Dolby VS10 technology.
The integration of Dolby's VS10 processing in the PlayerPro 8K enables seamless conversion of HDR content to standard SDR with impeccable colour accuracy. In addition, it transforms Ultra HD images into pristine 1080p uncompressed 4:4:4:4 video, enhancing the viewing experience of 8K or 4K material on Full HD 1080p displays. This enhancement increases resolution by approximately 30% over Blu-ray quality when displayed on a 1080p TV or projector. By taking advantage of these cutting-edge technologies, you can enjoy the superior clarity, expanded colour palette and intricate detail of 8K and 4K UHD content on your 1080p display, with reduced compression, more vibrancy and improved accuracy.
View Blu-ray and 4K UHD menus and access additional content (director's cuts, theatrical versions, additional extras, bookmarks, etc.). This feature is compatible with ISO and BDMV (Blu-ray and Blu-ray 4K UHD). Or, if you don't want to display menus, you can start a movie immediately without previews or warnings. Seamless branching is also perfectly supported for seamless, uninterrupted playback on director's cut editions. DVD menu support is planned for a future update.
The R_Volution PlayerPro 8K, which features a dual 3.5" SATA hot-swap SATA rack, can handle an impressive 64TB of data in a single partition, which is roughly equivalent to 1600 Blu-ray or 800 Blu-ray 4K Ultra HD on a single hard drive. Thanks to the swappable hard drive capacity, there are no limits to storage capacity! Say goodbye to storage problems with the PlayerPro 8K. R_video effortlessly organises your entire collection across multiple drives. If you select a movie that is stored on a hard drive that is not currently in the player, R_video will prompt you to insert the correct drive, ensuring seamless access to your media.
Included with PlayerPro 8K is R_video, a premium entertainment platform at no additional cost. It features a sophisticated interface for browsing your collection of movies and TV series.

R_video comes equipped with an intuitive top banner that automatically identifies and displays the format of your content, be it 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, DVD and more. It also offers specialised banners for various editions such as Final Cut, Director's Cut, Theatrical Cut, Unrated, Disc 1/2, Bonus, Concert, Special Edition, etc. Additional features include soundtrack previews during movie or TV show selection, robust parental controls and R_video's patented AI that ensures accurate movie identification.

The R_volution PlayerPro 8K media player comes with a backlit IR remote control. This remote control of the R_Volution PlayerPro 8K is IR and Bluetooth compatible, which enhances user convenience. In addition, it offers IP control capabilities, allowing integration with third-party systems such as Crestron, ProControl, RTI, among others. The PlayerPro 8K is designed with a highly sensitive infrared sensor that captures signals at a wide angle and long range (60° / 26 feet). The remote control itself is equipped with highly efficient IR diodes. In addition, the PlayerPro 8K includes an IR extender, allowing you to conveniently place the device behind closed doors or in a separate room while maintaining control from the location of your TV. The IR extender features an adhesive backing for easy mounting on any flat surface.
The PlayerPro 8K is equipped with the Amlogic S928X Hi-End multimedia processor, which includes an integrated Dolby Vision VS10 engine. This powerful processor is comprised of four ARM A55 cores running at 2.0 GHz and a top ARM A76 core running at 1.9 GHz, along with an additional core dedicated to system operations. This configuration delivers twice the performance of the Realtek RTD1619DR chipset found in the PlayerOne. The R_video user interface benefits from hardware acceleration, which improves its responsiveness and speeds up video indexing. The graphics unit has been upgraded to the Mali G57 and, when combined with ultra-fast LPDDR4X memory and eMMC storage, ensures fast and smooth system performance. The PlayerPro 8K's Antutu benchmark score exceeds 300,000 points, marking a significant improvement over the previous generation of R_Volution media players.
R_Volution PlayerPro 8K offers HDMI 2.1a output for connecting to the latest UHD 8K TVs, projectors and A/V receivers. The HDMI 2.1a port offers up to 48 Gbps, as well as other enhancements such as:
Dynamic HDR (Dynamic HDR metadata): HDR data (depth, detail, brightness, contrast and colour gamuts) can now be optimised on a scene-by-scene or even frame-by-frame basis.
Full support for 8K 60p HDR video: 8K UHD resolution offers 4 times more pixels than 4K and 8 times more than Full HD 1080p. The 8K format offers the most impressive viewing experience and delivers a crisp, smooth picture. The PlayerPro 8K supports decoding 8K 60p HDR video from video files or streaming content with 8Kp60 HDR video output for the best possible visual experience. PlayerPro 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 glorious 8K resolution.
SmartTube 8K HDR: Some YouTube 8K streams are encoded in the AV1 codec at a much higher bitrate (around 2x) than when playing 4K streams (50 Mbps in AV1 quality corresponds to an even higher bitrate of VP9 or HEVC). This significantly improves picture quality compared to older media players that can only play back VP9/HEVC 4K, including for users using 1080p or 4K displays.
High audio bitrate: support for high bitrate home theatre audio formats, object-based audio such as DTS X, Dolby Atmos and Auro3D, and uncompressed LPCM 2.0, 5.1 and 7.1 multichannel.
Full audio decoding: supports full audio decoding and conversion of DTS-HD, DTS X, TrueHD and Dolby Atmos audio tracks to multi-channel 2.0, 5.1 and 5.1 LPCM 7.1.
Flicker-free resolution/frame rate switching (FFRS): R_Volution PlayerPro 8K offers an advanced flicker-free function for automatic resolution and frame rate switching, which performs video mode switching before the start of file playback (instead of after) and eliminates annoying flicker when starting video playback, resulting in a better home theatre experience.
The R_Volution PlayerPro 8K is equipped with a professional 75-ohm coaxial digital audio connector for high-fidelity digital transmission, backed by an audiophile-grade Pulse digital audio transmission transformer. Isolation transformers are essential for improving the balance of transmitter and receiver circuitry, and for reducing common mode noise and electromagnetic interference.
Enhance your audiovisual experience with the R_volution PlayerPro 8K, featuring a TCXO femtosecond clock with 0.1% accuracy for 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 the confidence that the TCXO-powered PlayerPro 8K will deliver consistent performance and exceptional quality every time.
A TCXO (temperature compensated crystal oscillator) clock in a media player significantly enhances the home theatre experience by providing exceptional timing accuracy, ensuring that audio and video remain perfectly synchronised. Compared to standard clocks, a TCXO reduces vibration and maintains consistent performance across different temperatures, resulting in superior audio-visual quality that is crucial for an immersive viewing experience, especially in high-end home cinemas. Unlike oscillators used by other brands, R_Volution's TCXO uses a clock frequency of 24 MHz, a perfect multiple of 48 kHz in audio and 24 Hz in video. This allows perfect synchronisation for even better results in home theatre use.
The R_volution PlayerPro 8K media player features a high-performance power supply equipped with a Toshiba linear voltage regulator and powered by a massive 81W oxygen-free copper toroidal transformer, ensuring a noise-free signal for improved picture quality, more accurate colour gradation, deeper blacks and superior audio and visual accuracy. The PlayerPro 8K also uses a Lintec linear low dropout voltage regulator (LDO).
Cinema films are traditionally recorded at 24 frames per second (fps), but most video or Blu-ray files are encoded at 23,976 fps. Modern media players often output video signals at 24,000 Hz, which causes stuttering problems, especially noticeable in projectors. R_volution's Real Cinema technology preserves the original frame rate of the file, either 23.976 fps or 24 000 fps, until the final display. This ensures cinematic fluidity and maintains the artistic integrity of the visual content. In addition, the Auto Frame Rate feature allows the player to adapt its output rate to match the file's frame rate, automatically selecting between 23.976 Hz, 24 Hz, 29.97 Hz, 30 Hz, 50 Hz or 59.94 Hz (60 Hz), allowing it to accommodate various file types seamlessly.
Equipped with the Dolby Multistream MS12 decoder, the R_volution PlayerPro proficiently decodes all major audio formats such as Dolby Digital Plus™, Dolby Digital®, HE AAC, all AAC bitstreams and Dolby AC-4. It offers comprehensive support for Dolby metadata in Dolby AC-4, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital and HE AAC v2 formats. The Dolby MS12 can produce standard Dolby Audio™ bitstreams or up to 7.1-channel LPCM streams from any audio input. For example, an AAC 5.1 video file is seamlessly decoded into a 5.1 LPCM stream or a two-channel downmix, matched to the audio configuration of your R_volution media player. This robust feature ensures compatibility and enjoyment of your AAC 5.1 encoded content on any AV receiver.
R_volution products are designed to deliver superior performance in high-end configurations, with multi-level security locks and compatibility with IP and IR control systems, including ProControl, RTI, Control4, Crestron, Savant, Philips Pronto, Elan, URC and Logitech Harmony, complemented by a Middle Atlantic rack mount kit for custom integrations.
