2 RF Remote Controls
The R_volution PlayerPro 8K TV Signature Edition media player comes with two ultra-responsive RF remotes: a backlit main remote dedicated to media playback, and a secondary remote specifically designed for streaming services.
RF and IR Remotes
The remotes are IR and RF compatible, offering optimal ease of use. The main remote controls everything, including streaming functions, while the dedicated remote provides shortcuts to major services such as Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video.
Furthermore, the player supports IP control, enabling seamless integration with third-party systems such as Crestron, RTI, Savant, Control4, ProControl, and many others.
Long-Range IR Sensor
In addition to its RF control, the PlayerPro 8K HD incorporates a high-sensitivity infrared sensor offering a wide 60° coverage and long range.
The R_volution player can also be controlled via a virtual remote app available for iOS and Android tablets and smartphones.
Dual HDMI Output and Dual HDMI Input
The R_volution PlayerPro 8K TV Signature Edition features dual HDMI outputs: one HDMI Audio Only output (version 1.4a) and one main HDMI Audio + Video output (version 2.1a), ensuring optimal compatibility with the latest 8K UHD TVs, projectors, and home theater amplifiers. Both HDMI outputs benefit from the enhanced TCXO clock, ensuring increased stability and precision. Finally, the player also features a dual HDMI input (bypass), which also benefits from the optimized linear power supply.
Main HDMI 2.1a Audio + Video Output
Dynamic HDR (HDR Dynamic Metadata) – HDR data (depth, detail, brightness, contrast, and color ranges) can now be optimized scene by scene or even frame by frame.
Full HDR Video Support in 8K 60p – 8K UHD resolution offers four times the pixels of 4K and eight times the resolution of Full HD 1080p. The 8K format offers the most impressive viewing experience and delivers a smooth and sharp image. The PlayerPro 8K TV Signature Edition supports both 8K 60p HDR video decoding from video files and streaming content with 8Kp60 HDR video output for the best possible viewing experience. The PlayerPro 8K TV Signature Edition can also downscale 8K content to any other resolution for a better experience on 1080p and 4K Ultra HD displays. It can also upscale any content to 8K Ultra HD resolution. SmartTube 8K HDR – Some 8K YouTube streams are encoded in the AV1 codec with a much higher bitrate (approximately twice as high) than when playing 4K streams (50 Mbps in AV1 quality corresponds to an even higher bitrate than VP9 or HEVC). This significantly improves image quality compared to older media players (which can only play 4K VP9/HEVC files), even on a 1080p or 4K TV. Flicker-Free Frame Rate/Resolution Switching (FFRS) – R_volution PlayerPro 8K TV Signature Edition offers an advanced feature that eliminates flicker when automatically switching between frame rates and resolutions upon starting video playback. To achieve this, the player switches video modes before file playback begins (rather than after) for a better home theater experience.
HDMI Audio Only and HDMI Main Outputs
High Bitrate Audio – Supports high-bitrate home theater audio formats, including 3D audio such as DTS:X, Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, as well as uncompressed LPCM 2.0, 5.1, and 7.1. Note: These formats are also compatible with HDMI Audio Only output.
Full Audio Decoding – Supports full decoding and conversion of DTS-HD, DTS:X, TrueHD, and Dolby Atmos tracks to LPCM 2.0, 5.1, and 7.1 multichannel.
TCXO Clock – Enjoy the high-performance TCXO clock and linear power supply for exceptional audio-video quality.
Dual HDMI Inputs
HDMI Switch – Connect up to two external sources and easily switch between them while benefiting from the player's linear power supply quality.
TCXO Clock
Thanks to its high-precision (0.1%) femtosecond TCXO clock, the PlayerPro 8K TV Signature Edition delivers an exceptional audiovisual experience. TCXO technology ensures crystal-clear sound and flawless video playback, even in the most demanding scenes. Enjoy your content with consistent performance and superior quality during your home theater sessions. The TCXO clock affects the circuits of the two HDMI outputs, the low-noise USB audio output, the optical output, the digital coaxial output, and the analog audio outputs, for both file playback and streaming services such as video (Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+) and music (Tidal, Qobuz).
Using a TCXO (Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator) clock in a media player significantly enhances the home theater experience by delivering exceptional audio-video accuracy. Compared to standard clocks, the TCXO reduces jitter and maintains consistent performance across varying temperatures, resulting in superior audiovisual quality crucial for an immersive viewing experience, especially in high-end home theaters.
