SmartTube 8K HDR: Some 8K YouTube streams are encoded in the AV1 codec at a much higher bitrate (about 2 times higher) than when playing 4K streams (50 Mbps in AV1 quality corresponds to a bitrate even higher than in VP9 or HEVC). This significantly improves picture quality compared to older media players (which can only play 4K VP9/HEVC files), even on a 1080p or 4K TV.
High Bitrate Audio: Support for high bitrate home theater audio formats, 3D audio such as DTS
Full Audio Decoding: Supports full audio decoding and conversion of DTS-HD, DTS
Flicker-Free Frame Rate/Resolution Switching (FFRS): R.Volution PlayerOne 8K Signature Edition offers an advanced feature that enables flicker suppression by automatically changing the frame rate and resolution when starting video playback. To do this, the player changes the video mode before the file starts playing (rather than after) for a better home theater experience.
Electrolytic capacitors are used as input buffers to supply power when the mains input voltage is too low, store energy while an AC/DC converter adapts to a new power level, and prevent converter switching noise. reach the power source. At the output of a converter, they act as a filter and current sink for the inductive elements and, in DC/DC conversion, they function as a power buffer when the output power demand changes.
In either case, losses due to ESR will inhibit a capacitor's ability to generate or absorb charge quickly. At the input, increasing ESR increases high-frequency noise through the capacitor, thus decreasing filtering efficiency. At the output, a higher ESR causes more ripples, which influences the stability of the control loop.
ESR is particularly important in applications with high-frequency, low-duty cycle current pulses. An ultra-low ESR level provides significant noise reduction for both digital image and audio.
In addition to the quality internal power supply, R.Volution PlayerOne 8K Signature Edition offers an external power connector (DC12) that allows the use of an external ultra-high-end audiophile power supply (not included) instead of the internal power supply, in case the user wishes to use your own external power supply for audiophiles.
Cinema movies are recorded at 24 frames per second (fps), but most video or Blu-ray files are recorded at 23,976 fps. Today, many media players output a video signal at 24,000 Hz. However, this conversion causes stuttering problems, especially in video projectors. The technology R.Volution Real Cinema maintains the original frame rate of the file, either 23,976 fps or 24,000 fps until final viewing to benefit from the same fluidity as in cinema and preserve the original integrity of the displayed work. On the other hand, thanks to auto-framerate, the player automatically switches to the correct output frequency depending on the frame rate of the file, namely: 23.976 Hz, 24 Hz, 29.97 Hz, 30 Hz, 50 Hz and 59 .94Hz (60Hz). depending on the type of file being played.
The products R.Volution have been specifically designed to work in high-level installations and integrations using multi-level security locking, IP and IR control codes for ProControl, RTI, Control4, Crestron, Savant, Philips Pronto, Elan, URC and Logitech Harmony, an Atlantic half rackmount kit for high-end custom integrations.
