v1.2.05, v1.2.05_G Beta version for Z9X 8K/Z30 PRO/Z3000 PRO/UHD8000

DV stutter has been an issue for much longer than 1 month!

 

Source - my observations and comparison of the level of support in the first year after the release of products like Z9X and Z30Pro.

 

I’m afraid you’re right according to last few months experience.

 

As far as I know, you're the only one who has made that leap of logic and I certainly haven't heard a peep about it... So your comment that "there is growing confidence" may be slightly optimistic.

 

Yup...

 

Mark, with all due respect, you also didn't say a word to us when Zidoo completely switched to new products and support for Z9X was practically stopped (about 2.5 years ago)

 

If I'd heard so much as a peep about any new products, I'd just keep quiet - I certainly would not lie and say that I hadn't heard anything.

I will always keep Zidoo's confidence but I would never outright lie for them, either directly or indirectly.

 

Maybe, reason for delay in 8K series technical support is that the developers spend most of their time supporting Eversolo.

 

May I ask what this 'compatible mode' on/off is referring to? I've gone through a few pages but still in the dark.

 

Pass-through Compatible Mode fixes an issue with non-standard TrueHD streams where packet overflow is caused due to successive synchronisation points (keyframes) being too close together (which is outside THD spec) and causes stuttering.

I'd recommend switching it on.

 

Where can I find the mode?

 

Cheers for the reply. Id managed to figure it out and switch it on.

Being playing a bit more with lldv and that improves things a little but still get the stutter/slow down of video.

 

Under Audio in Settings

 

New films are no longer recognized in the Home Theater.
When are you ok for repair my Zidoo Z30 pro?

 

Poster Wall lost ...

 

Got to be Trump with classic info like that

thou ....if this might be what latest devices use,once released

The Amlogic S905X5 SoC, which may be available for mass production in Q2 2024, is a potential next-generation media player chipset. This chip features the Mali-G310 GPU, which can reduce power consumption by 50% while maintaining performance. It also supports Dolby Atmos, dual 4K 60fps decoding, AV1 codec, H266, and a Vision Processing Unit (VPU). The Mali-G310 GPU can run at a top speed of 1GHz and render UI elements in 4K HDR.

Specifications for Amlogic S905X5 SoC:
SoC – Amlogic S905X5
CPU – Quad-core Armv9 CPU (likely Cortex-A510 cores) delivering 40K+ DMIPS
GPU – Arm Mali-G310 V5 entry-level GPU clocked at 1 GHz for 4K HDR user interfaces
VPU – Up to 2x 4Kp60 10-bit H.266/VCC and AV1 video codecs, and the usual VP9, AVS3, H.265/HEVC, H.264
AI accelerator – 4 TOPS NPU enabling AI-SR
Process – “Second generation” 6 nm process
System Memory & Storage – TBD
Video Output – HDMI 2.1 up to 4Kp60 with eARC (enhanced audio return channel), VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), QMS (Quick Media Switching)
Audio – Support for Dolby, Dolby Atmos
Networking – Ethernet port, likely WiFi and Bluetooth
USB – 2x USB Type-A ports, 1x USB Type-C port
AI-SR (AI super-resolution) is just an upscaling method that leverages artificial intelligence to deliver a better image quality. For example, you can stream a 1080p60 video stream on a 4K TV close to the quality of a 4K video streaming providing the AI-SR upscaling works as expected.

VPU – Up to 2x 4Kp60 10-bit H.266/VCC and AV1 video codecs, and the usual VP9, AVS3, H.265/HEVC, H.264

So native FEL support finally ,with luck

Realtech have a similar new chipset too ?

 

"I wonder why there are so many of them and who pays for all these holidays..?"
what a strange remark.

 

All SoC vendors have tech refreshes every couple of years where they retire some product lines and provide cost reduction / feature reduction as well as slowly introduce update IP blocks, such as new codecs or increases in processing rate. If you collectively look at the top 5 SoC vendors, you will have the ingredients for a potential new player every year.

Device manufacturers will often stay with the same SoC vendor for multiple generations, if their investment in software development for a particular SoC vendor eco-system is profitable. However, (and especially with Android) if a different vendor has a cost effective alternative that promises to deliver major improvement over an existing vendor, an ODM will switch. Once an ODM gets big enough, they usually have at least two SoC suppliers competing for their business, which usually translates to better pricing and better access to engineering resources when it comes to fixing SoC problems.

Scouring data sheets for interesting chipsets is fun, but it won't tell you anything about all the other constraints (the ones that are actually core to the business) that inform the final decision as to what SoC to use and when to develop a new product. Often it is more profitable to churn out variants on the same SoC for many years to recoup the initial investment.
