High-Quality 4K HDR Experience
The Z9X is a 4K UHD media player with a powerful graphics engine for home cinema. Compared to the previous generation, it has significant improvements in audio and video decoding, especially in supporting HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision, which has filled a gap in the market. Meanwhile, it remains an affordable and high-performance model.
Powerful chipset
The Z9X is equipped with a high-performance RTD1619DR 64-bit hexa-core processor, which offers faster response and more efficient computing capability. The powerful decoding performance supports precise UHD decoding and excellent image quality.
Material and Frame Construction
The chassis is made of metal, which is excellent and durable.
The gray surface has a nice feel thanks to sandblasting and oxidation.
Multiple interfaces
The Z9X features multiple interfaces, such as HDMI input, HDMI output, and SATA3.0.
USB 3.0 x 2, USB 2.0 x 2, AV output, optical, RS232, Gigabit LAN, etc.
Meets the needs of home cinema enthusiasts for connecting various devices
4K UHD Picture Quality
The Z9X image engine can easily decode 4K HDR images encoded with HEVC/H.265
Supports output of 3840 x 2160 60Hz, every pixel is natural and complete
The images are clear and vivid even on a large screen
Accurate frame rate switching
The Z9X supports automatic and precise switching of the original resolution and frame rate (23.976, 59.94, 25, 30, 50, and 60). The new automatic switching algorithm allows the frame rate of the movie to be switched in advance, ensuring smooth and complete movie playback.
Amazing HDR Technology
The new HDR processing engine can process the static HDR10 metadata (MaxFall, MaxCll) with greater accuracy. The color contrast is intense, and both highlights and shadows can be displayed perfectly, which could depict images like real-life scenes.
Meanwhile, the Z9X provides an HDR to SDR algorithm, which helps to display HDR movies very well on SDR devices through dynamic correction and color reproduction.
Higher Level HDR10+
The Z9X pioneers the addition of HDR10+ and Dolby Vision technology. HDR10+ technology can not only display a maximum brightness of up to 4000 nits, but also accurately process metadata for each frame. Specifically, colors and brightness levels are captured frame by frame and scene by scene, allowing images to be displayed in detail with wide dynamic contrast and richer colors.
Dolby Vision VS10 Technology
The Z9X integrates the Dolby Vision VS10 image engine, which supports low latency Dolby Vision output (LLDV). Dolby Vision has adopted advanced dynamic metadata processing technology, so that the most suitable brightness can be extracted for images and scenes in each frame. Shadows are darker while highlights are brighter. Even in dark and low-light environments, it can also display the best visual effect.
Meanwhile, the VS10 is a powerful machine, regardless of formats (Dolby Vision, HDR, HLG, SDR, etc.) or display devices, whether it is HDR output or SDR conversion, everything can maintain color accuracy and offer a good experience to users. Even regular TVs can experience Dolby Vision technology.
Color Depth 12bit
The new Z9X image engine not only supports 10-bit decoding and output (about 1.07 billion colors) at 4K 60Hz resolution, but also supports higher 12-bit color depth (about 68 billion colors). The 12-bit offers vibrant colors and natural color transitions.
Wider range of colors
The Z9X supports the wide color gamut BT.2020, which can display 75% of natural colors and be closer to what the human eye can see, while the traditional BT.709 can only display 35% of natural colors. It features bright and impressive colors, rich and full images, as well as a better sense of space, three-dimensional rendering, and layering.
Android 9.0
Based on the in-depth development of Android 9.0, the system performance of the Z9X has been significantly improved with better stability and compatibility. Applications can also be installed. DRM widevine L1 is also supported.
Powerful subtitle features
The Z9X can automatically search for and match subtitles for movies on the Internet. Subtitle formats PGS, ASS, SSA, SUP, SUB, and SRT are supported. The font, color, special effects, and position of the subtitles can be customized. Forced MKV and Blu-ray subtitles are also supported.
