A processor for perfect image quality

Inside the Orbsmart R82 is a Realtek RTD1619BPD Quad-Core processor. Unlike common Android TV boxes, this chipset was specifically developed for uncompromising media playback. It ensures native support for the latest standards like HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and all HD audio formats. The high-quality, fanless aluminum housing with an integrated LED display guarantees silent and cool operation at all times.

Breathtaking 4K Picture with Dynamic HDR

Enjoy your movies with image quality that sets new standards. The R82 is a fully-fledged 4K Media Player that plays content up to 60 frames per second thanks to HDMI 2.1. The real magic lies in its HDR processing: Besides HDR10, it also supports dynamic HDR10+ and Dolby Vision (VS10). These technologies optimize brightness, colors, and contrasts scene by scene, extracting the absolute maximum image quality from your TV – with over 68 billion colors for an incredibly lifelike experience.

Lossless Cinema Sound (HD Audio Passthrough)

Sound is half the experience. That’s why the Orbsmart R82 passes almost all HD audio standards losslessly to your AV receiver or soundbar (Passthrough). Experience the immersive 3D sound of DTS:X and Dolby Atmos exactly as the filmmakers intended. High-resolution music files like FLAC (24bit/192kHz) or SACD ISOs are also perfectly reproduced for audiophile enjoyment.

Flexible Android Operating System

The foundation is a stable and fast Android 11. The interface has been specifically optimized for use on a TV and is simple and intuitive to operate. You have the freedom to install apps like media players (e.g., Kodi), file managers, or browsers. This allows you to flexibly expand the functionality of your media player. Note: The R82 focuses on local media playback. Streaming apps like Netflix or Prime Video have limited or no compatibility.

Connectivity for Every Demand

The Orbsmart R82 leaves nothing to be desired. Alongside the latest Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, all important connections are available: USB 3.0 for fast data transfer, Gigabit LAN for a stable network connection, and an external SATA port for hard drives up to 16TB capacity. An optical output and even an RS232 port underscore its professional standard.

Backlit Premium Remote Control

Control also becomes a premium experience. The included remote control is not only high-quality, but also features a backlight – perfect for dark home cinemas. Additionally, you can freely program the top four buttons to learn commands from other infrared remotes, such as your TV or AV receiver.
