Bluetooth APTX HD

We can easily enjoy music by connecting NEO S with cell phone via Bluetooth. Qualcomm flagship CSR8675 module supports APTX and LDAC lossless audio compression technology, which can overcome bandwidth barriers in standard technology. Even if audio is transmitted via Bluetooth, CD-level sound quality can be achieved.

CD Ripping and Playback

NEO S supports CD ripping and playback when connecting with CD-ROM via USB port. Names of albums/songs can be smartly matched by the ID of CD via special HASH. Ripped files can be collected and managed in ZIDOO Music Player.

4K UHD Image Quality

NEO S adopts RTD1619 DR hexa-core 64-bit A55 processor. In addition to efficient and stable system, it has also equipped with 4K UHD decoding and processing technology. BD UHD Blu-ray disc and self-made media files are supported, and up to 3840 x 2160 60Hz, HDR and BT.2020 wide range.

HDR Technology

NEO S not only supports ordinary high dynamic range HDR10 and HLG, but also advanced technology HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Dolby Vision metadata processing technology can provide 4000nit peak brightness and 12Bit (around 68 billion) output. Stunning brightness, contrast and natural colors bring excellent image quality.

Wide Color Range

• NEO S can output up to 4K 60P
• Automatic resolution switching and precise frame rate (23.976) output
• RGB, YVU4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 and other color range are supported

Network Protocols

Multiple network protocols NFS, SMB v1/v2/v3 and UPnP work well. Files in NAS or network drives can be accessed effectively and stably via gigabit LAN. Meanwhile, SMB sharing is supported to share files from local hard disk to other devices.

Mobile Controller App

NEO S can be controlled by mobile phone and tablet APP. Besides, mobile phone APP can display Poster Wall, Music Player and system setting. Program search and system setting can be done in the background without affecting movie playback.
