Zappiti Real Cinema

Cinema mCinema movies are shot at 24 frames per second (fps), but most video or Blu-ray files are recorded at 23.976 fps.
Today, many multimedia players output a video signal at 24,000 Hz. However, this conversion generates problems
of stuttering, in particular on video projectors. Zappiti Real Cinema technology maintains the original frame rate of
the file, whether in 23.976 fps or 24,000 fps until the final display in order to enjoy the same fluidity as in the
cinema and preserve the original integrity of the work displayed. On the other hand, thanks to autoframerate, the
player automatically switches to the correct output frequency depending on the frame rate of the file, namely:

23.976 Hz23.976 Hz, 24 Hz, 50 Hz and 59.94 Hz (60 Hz) depending on the type of file being played.

10-Bit & REC.2020

Enjoy an extended color range with the REC.2020 format (much broader color space than traditional video) and an
increased number of shades (1024 levels instead of 256 levels per primary color) support for 10-bit color encoding
format. The gradients will offer increased nuances; with colors more realistic and vibrant! And if your TV allows it, you
can even use 12-bit output for even more subtle nuances.

HDD Slot

With its 3.5 "SWith its 3.5 "SATA hot-swap rack, the Zappiti Neo is capable of
supporting up to 20TB of data internally; the equivalent of about
500 Blu-rays or 250 Ultra HD Blu-ray (bit perfect) on a single hard
disk. And as it is possible to exchange hard drives, you have no
capacity limit! With the Zappiti Neo, you no longer need to worry
about storage problems. Zappiti Video can manage one collection
for each drive or one collection for all your drives as you wish.

Dolby Vision

The ultra-vivid image of innovative visual technology Dolby
Vision®, brings characters to life with darker darks, brighter
brights, and a remarkable color range you can’t get anywhere
else. Experience a remarkable color palette, sharper contrasts,
and incredible brightness that feel more like looking through a
window than at a screen. This is HDR like you've never seen it
before. Discover subtle details you simply can’t see with a
standastandard picture, for a viewing experience without compromise,
just as the filmmakers and creators intended. Zappiti Signature
media player supports direct playback of full Blu-ray disc images
(BDMV and ISO) with menus in Dolby Vision (MEL and FEL), as
well as various file formats including MKV, MP4, TS, and M2TS. All
popular Dolby Vision profiles (P4, P5, P7 MEL and FEL, P8) are
supported. The extended Dolby Vision metadata is used and
ttransmitted to the TV to improve picture quality.

HDR10+

The Zappiti Neo is compatible with the HDR10+ technology. HDR10+ is the latest
and most advanced HDR technology, building upon HDR10 to further enhance the viewing
experience. HDR10+ signals not just the dynamic range (the ratio of light to dark) of video
content on a scene-by-scene (or even frame-by-frame) basis, it also provides, in a small amount
of metadataof metadata, the scene characteristics between bright and dark so that important detail can be
kept. This enables displays to reproduce images more realistically, adhering to the creator’s intent.
Whereas static HDR, such as HDR10, utilizes static tone mapping uniformly across the duration of
the content, HDR10+ employs dynamic tone mapping to optimize each scene individually
increasing brightness and adding contrast to fit within a display’s capabilities.

HDR > SDR

With theWith the VS10 processor, any HDR content is converted into traditional SDR with perfect color grading. In addition, the
Zappiti MagicPixel processing converts Ultra HD video content into extremely high-quality 1080p uncompressed
4:4:4 video for viewing 4K content on Full HD 1080p displays. This process increases the resolution by about 30%
compared to Blu-ray on a 1080p TV or projector. With Zappiti MagicPixel v3 and VS10 technologies combined, you
can benefit from the benefits of the 4K UHD contents on your 1080p TV or projector. Less compression. More colors.
More details! For some 4K projectors, the HDR > SDR conversion by Zappiti provides even better results than the
didirect HDR display managed by your projector.

Dual HDMI Output

TThe Zappiti Neo features two HDMI outputs – one HDMI Out Main port for connecting to the latest UHD 4K TVs,
projectors and A/V receivers, and an additional HDMI Out Audio Only port (v1.4) dedicated to audio for connecting
to older A/V receivers and for better audio performances. The HDMI Audio Only port features a high-stability,
high-precision clock. This design significantly reduces jitter and eliminates timing errors, allowing you to enjoy your
audio & video contents with increased accuracy when you use the audio-only HDMI output port for connecting the
audio signal to your A/V receiver. In addition, on the video output, the audio stream is automatically muted when the
HDMI Audio OnHDMI Audio Only output is used, thereby reducing the effects of video noise on the main HDMI output.

A53 used in the previous generation media players. It includes a ARM Mali-G51 MP3 which is +50% faster than Mali
