All popular Dolby Vision profiles (P4, P5, P7 MEL and FEL, P8) are supported. The extended Dolby Vision metadata is used and transmitted to the TV to improve picture quality.
Dolby Vision®
VS10
Video Processing
The advanced Dolby Vision VS10 video processing engine ensures maximum image quality when playing any type of content (SDR, HDR, Dolby Vision) with any type of video output signal (SDR, HDR, Dolby Vision), improves the SDR/HDR/Dolby Vision conversion quality, minimizes the effect of "posterization" ("banding") due to more advanced 12-bit video processing. This gives benefits even when using the media player with older TVs that do not support Dolby Vision.
HDR10+
The PlayerOne 8K is compatible with HDR10+ technology. HDR10+ is the latest and most advanced HDR technology, building upon HDR10 to further enhance the viewing experience. HDR10+ signals not just the dynamic range (the ratio of light to dark) of video content on a scene-by-scene (or even frame-by-frame) basis, it also provides, with minimal metadata, the scene characteristics between bright and dark so that important detail can be kept. This enables displays to reproduce images more realistically, adhering to the creator’s intent. Whereas static HDR, such as HDR10, utilizes static tone mapping uniformly across the duration of the content, HDR10+ employs dynamic tone mapping to optimize each scene, individually increasing brightness and adding contrast to fit within a display’s capabilities.
8K UHD
R_volution PlayerOne 8K features HDMI 2.1a output to provide ideal compatibility with the latest 8K Ultra HD video content such as HDR with Source-Based Tone Mapping (SBTM). Your videos can be uscaled up to 8K UHD resolution (7680 x 4320), which is 8x the resolution of Full HD 1080p (1920x1080) and 4x the resolution of 4K UHD (3840x2160).
Designed for Ultimate Home Theater Experience
Thanks to its high-quality internal power supply specifically calibrated for digital audio and video transport, the R_volution PlayerOne 8K offers breathtaking image quality, deep blacks, vibrant colors, exceptional image sharpness and extremely dynamic digital multi-channel sound quality and precision with a wide dynamic range.
SDR > HDR
The PlayerOne 8K is also capable of transforming any SDR image into ultra-bright, vivid and colorful HDR if your TV is compatible with HDR technology using Dolby VS10 technology.
HDR > SDR
With the integrating VS10 processing from Dolby, any HDR content is converted into traditional SDR with perfect color grading. In addition, the video processing converts Ultra HD video content into extremely high-quality 1080p uncompressed 4:4:4 video for viewing 8K or 4K content on Full HD 1080p displays. This process increases the resolution by about 30% compared to Blu-ray on a 1080p TV or projector. With this amazing technologies combined, you can benefit from the benefits of the 8K and 4K UHD contents on your 1080p TV or projector. Less compression. More colors. More details!
DVD, Blu-ray & UHD Menu Support
Display the Blu-ray and 4K UHD menus and get access to additional content (director's cuts, theatrical versions, bonus extras, bookmarks, etc.) This feature is compatible with both ISO and BDMV (Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray). Or, if you do not want to display menus, you can start a movie immediately without trailers or warnings. The seamless branching is also perfectly supported for perfect gapless playback on director cut editions. Support for DVD menus is planned for a future update.
HDD Slot
With its 3.5 "SATA hot-swap rack, the R_volution PlayerOne 8K is capable of supporting up to 32TB of data internally on a single partition; the equivalent of about 800 Blu-rays or 400 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (bit perfect) on a single hard disk.

Real Cinema
Cinema movies are shot at 24 frames per second (fps), but most video or Blu-ray files are recorded at 23.976fps. Today, many multimedia players output a video signal at 24,000Hz. However, this conversion generates problems of stuttering, in particular on video projectors. R_volution Real Cinema technology maintains the original frame rate of the file, whether in 23.976fps or 24,000fps until the final display in order to enjoy the same fluidity as in the cinema and preserve the original integrity of the work displayed. On the other hand, thanks to autoframerate, the player automatically switches to the correct output frequency depending on the frame rate of the file, namely: 23.976Hz, 24Hz, 29.97Hz, 30Hz, 50Hz and 59.94Hz (60Hz) depending on the type of file being played.
Dolby Multistream Decoder MS12
Thanks to the Dolby Multistream Decoder MS12, the R_volution PlayerOne 8K is capable of decoding high-end audio content, including Dolby Digital Plus™, Dolby Digital®, HE AAC, all AAC bitstreams and Dolby AC-4. It provides full Dolby metadata support for Dolby AC-4, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, and the Dolby implementation of HE AAC v2 audio formats. Dolby MS12 generates standard Dolby Audio™ bitstreams or LPCM bitstreams up to 7.1 channels based on the content of any incoming audio format. For example, a video file encoded in AAC 5.1 is decoded and converted to an LPCM 5.1 bitstream or a standard two-channel downmix, depending on the audio settings of your R_volution media player. Whith this powerful feature, you can enjoy your AAC 5.1 encoded files (or other codecs) on your AV receiver, even if it is not compatible.
With ISO files from original video discs, the video bitrate is 4x higher than streaming services — meaning less data loss. Image and sound are crystal clear and more realistic for the best possible home theater experience.
Integration.
R_volution products have been specially designed to operate in high-end 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, a Middle Atlantic rack mount kit for high-end custom integrations.

However, my experience with the R_volution PlayerOne 8K has been a turning point. Its superior playback quality has demonstrated that a digital collection can indeed match and in some aspects, surpass physical media playback. What truly sets this player apart is its user interface, making the browsing experience enjoyable with animated posters and the integration of movie soundtracks. This thoughtful design, coupled with the device's performance, makes the R_volution PlayerOne 8K not just a mere media player, but a central hub for movie enthusiasts seeking a premium experience that justifies its $799 price tag. With its combination of advanced features and intuitive design, the R_volution PlayerOne 8K rightly deserves the AVS Top Choice award for 2024. For anyone considering upgrading their movie/TV collection, this player should be at the top of your list."

"The playback hardware is cutting edge. This is where our disc players are being outdone, those whose chassis has not evolved since 2019. The onbvoard Amlogic chip integrates hardware decoding of the AV1 point video CODEC up to 8K resolution (hence the name). The output connection is HDMI 2.1, where record players are forever stuck on 2.0b (...) Naturally, the PlayerOne 8K plays any format in audio and video up to HDR10, 10+ and Dolby Vision in video, and passes HD audio streams without restriction without compression (...) the R_volution PlayerOne 8K fulfills its mission as a binder and dematerialized player very well.
