RIO SOUND AND VISION PANASONIC THX UB9000
RIO Sound and Vision now have the largest and most comprehensive range of THX certified products, with the components that only Lucasfilm recommend and use. The new range of Panasonic 4K Bluray Players would now have to be the very best available, and we have them right here now for purchase.
A New Benchmark in Premium Picture and Sound Quality
The UB9000 reference-class Ultra HD Blu-ray player uses Panasonic’s unique chroma and HDR processing technologies to reproduce images with cinema-level quality at home. Ultimate picture quality is combined with a structure and components that pursue the highest possible audio quality to bring you a thrilling Hollywood cinema experience – regardless of the type of content. The UB9000 has been awarded a coveted EISA award as the leading ‘High-End UHD Blu-Ray Player 2018-2019
Unique Imaging Technologies for a Hollywood Cinema Experience
Panasonic’s 4K PRO HDR model Ultra HD Blu-ray Player features an HCX Processor for Ultra HD Blu-ray packed with original imaging technologies for stunning picture quality. The precise colours and HDR reproduction that form the essential elements of Ultra HD are the basis of high definition images. They bring you a whole new viewing experience that you’ve never had before.
Experience Stunning 4K Pictures
Multi HDR Support
Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray Players support multiple HDR formats, such as HDR10, which is the standard HDR format for films, and UHD Blu-ray discs. They newly support HDR playback of HDR10+TM dynamic metadata, the next-generation standard. And they are compatible with Dolby VisonTM and Hybrid Log-Gamma. The synergistic effect achieved with Panasonic’s original high-quality image technologies enables even more precise image expression.
HDR Optimiser
Tone mapping is used to adjust the brightness level of the content. And even HDR images from ordinary HDR10 and TV footage, which do not support special new formats like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, provide optimal playback.
Theatre-level Quality THX Certification
The THX certified model reproduces the finely nuanced colours and rich, detailed images that the film creator intended. You can watch movies at home in comparable quality that you enjoy at cinema.
Stunning Colour and Details
4K High-Precision Chroma Processing
Technologies from Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, the base for Blu-ray Disc Research & Development, are applied to Panasonic‘s unique “4K High Precision Chroma Processing. 4K image colour signals (4:2:0) are interpolated into 4K (4:4:4) by a multi-tap chroma process, for natural textures and depth.
Experience Studio Master Sound Quality
This model is designed for high-resolution audio reproduction. In addition to the conventional WAV/FLAC/MP3/AAC/WMA/AIFF formats, DSD (5.6 MHz/2.8 MHz/11.2MHz) and ALAC music files can be reproduced. Simply connect to your home audio system to enjoy music sources equivalent to studio master sound quality.
Reduce Vibration and Noise During Disc Rotation
Rigid Chasis Achieves Low Centre of Gravity and Low Vibration
A newly developed drive base with a 3-dimensional, thick steel plate fixes the optical disc drive to the centre of the 2-layer chassis to reduce vibration and noise during disc rotation. Thick aluminium is used on the front and side panels to raise the rigidity of the chassis and reduce vibration.
Clear Sound with Minimal Noise
AC/DC Conversion Circuit
The main power supply, which provides power to the optical drive and video signal processing circuits, generates a variety of low- to high-frequency noises. These occur, for example, when driving the motor during disc playback, accessing memory, and communicating between peripheral circuits. By separating the power for the audio D/A converter and analogue output circuit at their origin, the noise effects are reduced. In addition, soft switching control lowers the noise of the power supply itself.
Stable Voltage and Current Supply for Sound with Minimal Distortion
10-Line Isolated DC Regulator Circuit
The digital and analogue power supplies for the D/A converter are isolated. The analogue channel is further separated into 2 channels and 7.1 channels, and for the 2-channel output, the reference voltage of the left and right channels is isolated, making a 10-line regulator circuit and reducing mutual effects to improve distortion. Moreover, high-quality audio grade electrolytic capacitors are used in the analogue channel to minimise noise.
Carefully Selected Audio Parts Achieve High Quality Sound
Special Circuit Board for Analogue Output
The analogue circuits for 2 channel and 7.1 channel output are mounted onto special glass-epoxy circuit boards. Together with the use of quality components, such as low-noise operational amplifiers and audio grade electrolytic capacitors, a totally balanced signal transmission is achieved by using differential circuits all the way from the D/A converter output to the XLR output terminal.
Versatile, High Quality Audio Output Terminals
2 Channel (XLR/ RCA) and 7.1 Channel Output Terminals
The 2 channel and 7.1 channel output terminals are also separated. Moreover, the 2 channel output is equipped with a balanced XLR output terminal in addition to the RCA terminal.
Online Content in 4K
Compatible with 4K VOD
Because 4K internet video distribution is now supported by content such as NETFLIX, Prime Video and YouTube, a wide variety of high-quality content is at your fingertips. The high-definition internet video signals are processed by Panasonic’s original 4K High-Precision Chroma Processor to achieve crisp, beautiful images.
Intuitive Voice Control
Panasonic’s New Ultra HD Player supports voice control with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. A variety of operations, such as fast forward, pause and play, can be carried out by voice without having to use the remote control.
