DESCRIPTION

The UHD8000 is an 8K media player compatible with Dolby Vision and HDR10+, and a music streamer that supports Hi-Fi streaming and decoding. It features an exquisite craftsmanship, equipped with a powerful Amlogic S928X-K chipset and 8GB DDR4 + 64GB eMMC of large storage. Being the first to develop dual HDMI port audio-video separation technology based on this chipset, Zidoo has achieved it with two custom chips and uses digital separation technology to isolate interference. The HDMI Main port is equipped with HDMI 2.1, supporting up to 8K@60P output. Two high-precision audio-specific crystal oscillators reconstruct the clock for the HDMI Audio Only output port, accurately reproducing sound and greatly improving audio quality (supports multi-channel DSD 64 Native output). The audio-video separation technology is better compatible with existing AV receivers and integrated receivers, no need to upgrade to 8K AV receivers. The UHD8000 is also a high-performance music streamer & DAC, using the new ESS 9069 DAC chip to decode and equipped with powerful music library management functions. It supports various streaming protocols (TIDAL Connect, UPnP/DLNA, Squeeze lite) and integrates multiple music streaming services with API integration.

Large Display Panel. Showing various working states on a large VFD panel; Supports brightness adjustments and power settings. Hidden dual HDD bays support up to two 16TB Hard Drives, accommodating up to 32TB of movies, TV series, and music files. Install the device in a standard 19-inch cabinet easily with included rack accessories, saving space and allowing flexible placement. Multiple interfaces for various audio-visual equipment. All interfaces feature gold plating for stable and reliable electrical connections.

The UHD8000 is-equipped with the Amlogic S928X-K ARM A76+A55 five-core processor using 12-nm technology, featuring a 3.2 TOPS NPU and built-in Al picture quality optimization engine. It boasts better processing capabilities and powerful decoding performance that achieves outstanding audiovisual playback.

The UHD8000 digital and analog circuits are equipped with independent power supplies. A set of large toroidal linear power supplies provides strong and clean power for audio components, offering excellent efficiency and significantly reducing external magnetic field interference. Another set of switching power supply is specially designed for digital circuits. The efficient direct current output improves the quality of audio and video output.

8GB of new-generation DDR4 RAM provides fast and smooth playback response while enjoying wonderful movie and music. 64GB eMMC internal storage meets the needs for installing numerous applications, creating more possibilities for audio-visual entertainment.

The UHD8000 is equipped with a built-in 2.4G+5G dual-band 2R2T MIMO Wi-Fi module that supports Wi-Fi 6, offering wireless transmission speeds of up to 1201 Mbps. This ensures a stable and high-speed connection even in harsh network environments. Additionally, it features a BT 5.2 module, supporting a wider range of Bluetooth connections such as remote controls, mice, speakers, and headphones.

Zidoo has pioneered the development of dual HDMI audio-video separation technology based on two custom chips. Utilizing digital separation technology, it efficiently isolates interference. The HDMI Main port is equipped with HDMI 2.1, supporting up to 8K@60P output; Two high-precision audio-specific crystal oscillators reconstruct the clock for the HDMI Audio Only output port, accurately reproducing sound and greatly improving audio quality (supports multi-channel DSD 64 Native output). The audio-video separation technology is better compatible with existing AV receivers and integrated receivers, no need to update AV receivers to 8K supported.

The UHD8000 is equipped with an XMOS chip, which works perfectly with Zidoo music player. It can process high-sample-rate master-level audio formats and losslessly transmit the original data 1:1 to high-spec DAC for decoding output. Two high-precision crystal oscillators (45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz) respectively correspond to 44.1 KHz and 48KHz multiplier sampling, which effectively reduce jitter and ensure accurate audio decoding.

The UHD8000 features a USB DAC input port, greatly enhancing the versatility of audio playback. By connecting an external music streamer with USB output, the UHD8000 can transform into a high-performance audio decoder. Utilizing the ESS9069Q DAC chip for decoding, it delivers a purer, high-resolution sound output.

Zidoo has established a long-term strategic partnership with ESS. The UHD8000 employs the latest generation ESS high-spec 32-bit Hyper-Stream decoding chip, the ESS9069Q DAC. It supports up to DSD512 and PCM768@32bit decoding, delivering an enjoyable listening experience.

The UHD8000 adopts a fully balanced design for the DAC decoding and XLR output. Even the RCA stereo output signals are derived from the balanced output. This design provides better noise immunity. The channel separation degree is improved and the signal quality is more stable and powerful by eliminating the shared loop.

The UHD8000's analog output is designed to deliver audiophile-grade quality, featuring meticulous circuit design and high-quality materials. It uses a gold-plated PCB, four audiophile-grade operational amplifiers, and selected high-end components including NICHICON, WIMA, and ELNA capacitors etc. Every detail is crafted to enhance the listening experience.

The new Zidoo 8K series boasts powerful performance, supporting global 4K GUI display. Poster walls and music player covers are clearer and more aesthetically pleasing, while also supporting third-party applications' 4K UI. Users can freely switch between 4K UI and 1080P UI in the settings.

The innovative visual technology of Dolby Vision delivers vivid images, making shadows darker and highlights brighter, providing an extraordinary color 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.

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 color 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.

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.
