DUNE HD Pro Vision 4K Solo Dolby Vision & HDR10+ Media Player & Android Smart TV Box

Key Features

RTD1619DR media processor

• The newest RTD1619DR media processor is the most advanced and the most powerful media processor from Realtek with Dolby Vision support.

Two HDMI output ports

• The additional HDMI output port allows getting the best picture and audio quality in various scenarios, for example, when using a 4K/HDR TV and an A/V receiver without 4K/HDR support.

Dolby Vision and HDR10+

• The media player supports not only HDR technology (supported by the previous generation of media players), but also the most latest and advanced Dolby Vision and HDR10+ technologies. In conventional HDR technology, the brightness range is set at the beginning of the film and does not change during the film, so completely dark and completely bright scenes may have insufficient detail. In the latest Dolby Vision and HDR10+ technologies, the brightness range can vary from frame to frame, so the maximum picture detail is provided even in scenes that contain only dark or only light elements.

Dolby Vision VS10 video processor

• 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.

Playback of Dolby Vision ISO/folder structures

• The media player supports direct playback of movie ISO/folder structures in Dolby Vision format (MEL and FEL). The extended Dolby Vision information is used and transmitted to the TV to improve the picture quality. This is possible due to the unique video playback and output engine created by Dune HD. Other RTD1619DR-based media players do not support this. Dune HD media players are the only hybrid network media players in the world that combine this functionality with support for Internet video services and Android applications in one device.

Widest support for Dolby Vision file formats

• Dolby Vision is supported for all popular file formats (MKV, MP4, TS, M2TS, ISO, movie folder structure). All popular Dolby Vision profiles (P4, P5, P7 MEL and FEL, P8) are supported. The media player supports the largest number of variations of Dolby Vision file formats of any other media player.

Dune HD Dolby Vision Purifier

• This technology, unique to Dune HD media players, optimizes Dolby Vision files on the fly for maximum compatibility with the Realtek RTD1619DR media processor. This helps to ensure the most stable playback, including incorrectly encoded files (which often cause freezes, stuttering, sound out of sync on other media players).

VP9 profile 2 and YouTube 4K HDR support

• The media player supports not only the old VP9 video codec (which does not support HDR), but also the newest VP9 profile 2, which supports HDR and which is used in YouTube for 4K HDR content.

+77% faster CPU

• The media player has a 6-core ARM A55 CPU – which is +77% faster than 4-core ARM A53 used in the previous generation media players.

+50% faster GPU

• The media player has the new GPU Mali-G51 – which is +50% faster than Mali T-820 used in the previous generation media players.

4 GB RAM

• This is 2x more than in the previous generation media players, and gives better performance for the most heavy apps.

32 GB flash

• This is 2x more than in the previous generation media players, and gives more space for the most heavy apps and internal storage.

Android 9

• For Android applications, the media player uses a modern Android version 9.0. This provides improved support for the newest Android apps.

3 antennas

Bluetooth 5.0

• The media player uses the new Bluetooth version 5.0 (the previous generation media players were using version 4.x).

IR input

• The IR input port allows connecting an IR extender, which improves player installation flexibility.

Advanced cooling

Power button on the front panel

• You can conveniently switch the media player on and off also using the button on the front panel.

Other key advantages over competitors

Best-in-class movie ISO/folder structure playback

• Realtek-based Dune HD media players have the best-in-class support for playback of movie ISO/folder structures, including full support for 4K, 3D, HD audio. Movie ISO/folder structures can be played from any source - local drive (USB, SATA) or network drive (SMB, NFS). A special engine helps to ensure smooth playback of the entire movie w/o any audio/video interruptions even when playing movies with complicated structure.

Flicker-free framerate/resolution switching

• Dune HD media players implement its own advanced flicker-free approach for automatic framerate and resolution switching, which performs video mode switching before the start of file playback (rather than after). Most other Realtek-based media players perform video mode switching after the start of file playback, which causes unpleasant flickering.
