R_volution is introducing three new high-performance, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision-compliant 4K and 8K multimedia players, plus a storage hub with multi-room distribution capabilities, at CEDIA Expo 2024.
Designed and engineered to function as the primary source component of a home theater system, R_volution’s flagship player, the PlayerOne 8K, smaller PlayerMini, and more advanced PlayerPro 8K intelligently retrieve, consolidate, process, and deliver AV content of various file formats from a wide range of physical, mobile, and digital devices, including computer hard drives, Blu-ray disc players, and online streaming services. R_volution complements this line with the R_volution NAS, which provides additional content storage and distribution to media players located throughout a residence.
Consumers are all too familiar and frustrated with the inherent complexities of operating a home theater system. Unification of the myriad components and controls lends simpler operation for end-users. R_volution is spearheading this approach with unique technologically advanced yet intuitive home theater components that consolidate all sources, enhance the audio and video quality up to 8K, and categorize the content automatically for quick and easy browsing and selection.
Featured at booth 1144, R_volution’s next-generation multimedia players, the PlayerOne 8K and smaller PlayerMini, give systems integrators a new way to enhance the home theater experience for their customers. The high-performance multimedia players are HDR10+ and Dolby Vision-compliant, meet all current HDMI connectivity and audio and video performance standards, upscale physical and digital content to 4K and 8K, and automatically identify movies and TV shows for easy on-screen navigation. These players don’t just place the content arbitrarily on the menu; they organize it logically by genre and let users search alphabetically, by release date, length, and other metadata.
Rounding out R_volution’s universal media player portfolio is the most advanced model, the new R_volution PlayerPro 8K. This elite media device supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ and boasts a robust linear power supply anchored by a massive toroidal transformer. At its core lies the Amlogic S928X chipset, complemented by a precision TCXO clock.
The R_volution PlayerPro 8K comes with a dual HDD enclosure to store up to 64TB of video files. It also offers HDMI 2.1 output, compatibility with AV1 codec up to 8K resolution. Complemented by the R_video user interface, the PlayerPro 8K provides AI to quickly and logically organize a large movie library. R_video, along with the PC/Mac app, offers advanced customization features to create custom categories and specific groups of movies, listen to original soundtrack clips while browsing titles, personalize the home page, and add custom signature top banners like Director’s Cut or Pure Audio Blu-ray. The app can be used to upload custom title page content, movie covers, and backgrounds.
Debuting at CEDIA Expo 2024, the R_volution NAS features high-performance video processing technology, dynamic user interface, and multi-room playback capabilities to consolidate, elevate and streamline the performance and control of large DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc libraries. The R_volution NAS stores audio files and videos on its internal hard drive without compression or loss of quality. A single unit can store up to 38,400 DVDs, 6,400 Blu-ray Discs, or 3,200 4K UHD Discs.
For larger collections, multiple NAS units can be combined into one system, accessible from any room equipped with an R_volution media player. A system can be quickly and easily configured via the NAS’s plug-and-play installation capabilities. Media is automatically indexed and categorized, along with relevant metadata and cover art. Users can apply filters and sort functions via R_volution’s intuitive onscreen user interface to quickly navigate and retrieve stored content. For clients who want to reconnect with their physical media collections, the NAS affords a simple, effective way to save, store and enjoy this beloved content.
The R_volution PlayerOne 8K, PlayerMini, PlayerPro, and NAS are available to systems integration professionals from Let’s Get Physical Distribution.
