Dolby Vision

The innovative visual technology of Dolby Vision® delivers vivid images, making shadows darker and highlights brighter, providing an extraordinary colour range that brings characters to life like never before. With clearer contrast and incredible brightness, it makes you feel more like looking through a window than at a screen.

The UHD8000 media playback technology supports direct playback of 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (BDMV and ISO) and various file formats, including MKV, MP4, TS, and M2TS. It supports all mainstream Dolby Vision profiles, utilizing extended Dolby Vision metadata and transmitting it to the TV to enhance picture quality.

 

 

 

 

Dolby Vision® VS10 Image Engine

The advanced Dolby Vision VS10 video processing engine ensures the highest image quality when playing any type of content (SDR, HDR, Dolby Vision) with any type of video output signal (SDR, HDR, Dolby Vision). It improves the quality of SDR/HDR/Dolby Vision conversion, minimizing the colour banding effect. This benefit extends even to older TVs that do not support Dolby Vision. Moreover, the UHD8000's VS10 engine, further developed by Zidoo, can be customized to optimize the viewing experience for different content

 

 

 

 

 

HDR10+

The UHD8000 is compatible with HDR10+ technology. HDR10+ is the latest and most advanced HDR technology, enhancing the viewing experience beyond HDR10. HDR10+ represents the dynamic range of video content on a per-scene (or even per-frame) basis, providing essential scene characteristics with minimal metadata to preserve important details. While static HDR uses a uniform static tone mapping throughout the content's duration, HDR10+ employs dynamic tone mapping to optimize each scene, individually increasing brightness and contrast to match the capabilities of the display.

 

 

 

 

12 Bit Colour Depth

The UHD8000 not only supports 10 Bit (approximately 1.07 billion colours) decoding and output at the resolution of 4K 60Hz, but also supports 12 Bit (approximately 68 billion colours) colour output. The 12 Bit colour depth has more balanced colour representation and natural colour transition.

All text subtitles (including ASS) can have their position, size, colour, font, and timeline (advance or delay by up to 10 minutes) adjusted. The brightness, position, and size of PGS/SUP subtitles can also be adjusted. The resizing of ASS and PGS subtitles is not a simple full-frame adjustment but is instead region-specific based on the subtitle display position, ensuring that resizing does not alter the relative position of special effect subtitles. The UHD8000 supports mounting two subtitles simultaneously, allowing for the display of both Chinese and English subtitles at the same time. It also supports forced subtitles for PGS based on the original disc and SRT in MKV files.
