Why Serious Home Theater Enthusiasts Choose R_volution Media Players
For over a decade, R_volution has been the choice of discerning home cinema owners who demand the best possible playback quality from their movie collections. Unlike consumer-grade streaming devices that compress video and audio to save bandwidth, R_volution media players play your files in their original, uncompressed quality — delivering the picture and sound exactly as the filmmaker intended. Whether you are playing 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray ISO files with full disc menus, MKV remuxes, or high-resolution audio in FLAC and DSD formats, a R_volution player handles it all with ease.
What Makes R_volution Different From Other Media Players?
The difference is in the engineering. Where most media players use inexpensive switching power supplies, R_volution’s flagship models feature linear power supplies built around massive oxygen-free copper toroidal transformers — the same type of power supply used in high-end audio amplifiers. Combined with a precision TCXO clock that keeps audio and video perfectly synchronised, audiophile-grade Nichicon and Nippon Chemical capacitors, and the powerful Amlogic S928X chipset, the result is noticeably deeper blacks, richer colours, wider dynamic range, and audio clarity that you can hear from the first scene. These are not marketing claims — the PlayerPro 8K earned the AVS Forum Top Choice award for 2024 and an 8.8 out of 10 rating from AVCesar.
R_video — The Most Complete Media Center Software Available
Every R_volution media player includes R_video, a sophisticated media center application that automatically organises your entire movie and TV show library. R_video scans your files, identifies each title using AI-powered recognition, and presents your collection with high-quality cover art, backgrounds, cast information, ratings, and even original movie soundtracks that play while you browse. Create favourite scenes, set up parental controls, filter by genre or rating, and enjoy seamless episode progression for TV series. R_video is included free with every player — no subscription, no monthly fee, no limitations.
Built for Professional Home Theater Installations
R_volution products are designed to integrate seamlessly into professional AV setups. All players include rack mount kits for custom installations and are fully compatible with leading home automation and control systems including Control4, Crestron, Savant, RTI, ProControl, URC, and Logitech Harmony. IP and IR control are supported, and the included IR extender allows the player to be hidden in a separate equipment room while maintaining full remote control functionality.
Storage That Scales With Your Collection
The PlayerPro 8K features dual 3.5-inch SATA hard drive bays supporting up to 64 TB of total storage — enough for approximately 800 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays or 1,600 standard Blu-ray rips. For smaller setups, the PlayerOne 8K offers a single drive bay. Both models support network playback from a NAS via SMB, allowing your library to grow without limits. Hard drives are sold separately, giving you the flexibility to choose the storage capacity that fits your collection today and expand when you need to.
Worldwide Compatibility and International Shipping
Every R_volution product features a universal internal power supply (AC 100-240V) and ships with power cables for EU, US, UK, and AU outlets. No voltage converter needed — plug in and play anywhere in the world. 220 Electronics ships R_volution products internationally with the same care and expertise we have brought to global electronics distribution since 1979.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a media player and a streaming box?
A streaming box (like an Apple TV or Fire Stick) plays content from online services like Netflix and Disney+. A media player like the R_volution PlayerPro 8K plays your own movie files stored locally on hard drives or a NAS — in full, uncompressed quality with lossless audio and full disc menus. If you collect movies in digital format, a dedicated media player delivers dramatically better quality than any streaming device.
Do I need to buy hard drives separately?
Yes. R_volution media players ship without hard drives, allowing you to choose the storage capacity that fits your needs. The PlayerPro 8K supports two 3.5-inch SATA hard drives up to 32 TB each. Check the R_volution website for the current hard drive whitelist.
Does R_volution support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?
Yes. Full support for Dolby Vision (all profiles including P5, P7 MEL and FEL, and P8), HDR10+, HDR10, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro3D across all current models.
Is there a subscription fee for R_video?
No. R_video is included free with every R_volution player. There is no subscription, no monthly fee, and no feature limitations.
