Z9X is equipped with RTD1619DR hexa-core 64-bit high-performance CPU, which has faster response speed and more efficient computing capability. Strong decoding performance supports accurate UHD decoding and excellent image quality output.

Chassis Material and Workmanship

The chassis is all made of metal, which is exquisite and durable. The gray surface has a nice feel with sandblasting and oxidation workmanship.

Multiple Interfaces

Z9X has many interfaces including HDMI input, HDMI output, SATA3.0, USB 3.0 x 2, USB 2.0 x 2, AV out, Optical, RS232, Gigabit LAN etc. Meet home theater enthusiasts’ needs for connecting various equipment.

4K UHD Image Quality

Z9X image engine can easily decode 4K HDR images which encoded with HEVC/H.265. Support 3840 x 2160 60Hz output, each pixel is natural and full. Images are clear and vivid even in a large screen.

Z9X integrates Dolby Vision VS10 image engine, which supports Dolby Vision low latency（LLDV）output. Dolby Vision has adopted advanced dynamic metadata processing technology, so that the most suitable brightness could be output for images and scenes of each frame. Shadows are darker while highlights are brighter. Even in the dark and weak-light environment, it could also display the best visual effect.

Meanwhile, VS10 is a powerful engine, no matter what formats (Dolby Vision, HDR,HLG,SDR etc. ) or displaying devices, whether HDR outputting or SDR converting, all could keep color accuracy and bring good experience to customers. Even normal TV could experience Dolby Vision technology.
