Superior Craftsmanship

The Z2000 PRO is exquisite in appearance and design, featuring military-grade aluminium alloy chassis with metal wiredrawing. The large front LED display communicates essential information and supports brightness adjustment. The NSS-patented HDD bay and high-gain antennas are hidden in the chassis, which contributes to sleek, stylish look of the Z2000 PRO.

Multiple Interfaces

The Z2000 PRO features a wide array of connections including HDMI 2.1 output, SATA3.5 HDD bay, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, analogue audio, digital audio, composite video, and Gigabit LAN.

Hidden HDD Bay

The Z2000 PRO features a SATA 3.5 interface which ensures high-speed two-way read and write. Hidden behind one of the front panels, the large-capacity NSS-patented HDD bay provides convenient storage options for larger collections. Whether you're streaming or watching your own stored entertainment, the Z2000 PRO can handle any content you throw at it.

Powerful Chipset

The Z2000 PRO is equipped with Realtek RTD1619BPD Quad-core 64bit high-performance processor with 12nm technology and embeds 1.6TOPS neural network processor. In addition to a faster response speed and more efficient computing capability, the benefits also include strong decoding performance which supports accurate UHD decoding and excellent image quality output. This chipset boasts a 20% performance increase when compared to the previous generation model, the Zidoo Z1000 PRO. This means accessing your favourite entertainment is faster, and the Z2000 PRO is capable of running any application you throw at it.

Intelligent Active Cooling System

The Z2000 PRO adopts an intelligent active cooling system with dual-ball silent cooling fan, the temperature is measured intelligently and could be adjusted manually and automatically to ensure stable running of components and a longer lifespan.

High-Quality Power Supply

The Z2000 PRO has a high-quality switching mode power supply with metal shielding treatment to effectively reduce magnetic interference and ensure better audio and video output.

4K UHD Image Quality

The Z2000 PRO image engine can easily decode 4K HDR images encoded with AV1, HEVC, or H.265 standards. Supporting 3840 x 2160 60Hz output, each pixel appears natural, and images are clear and vivid even on a large screen.

Stunning HDR Technology

A new HDR processing engine can deal with HDR10 static metadata (MaxFall, MaxCll) more accurately. Colour contrast is incredibly defined, ensuring both highlights and shadows are displayed perfectly, which delivers images much closer to the true-to-life scene.

Conversely, the Z2000 PRO supports HDR to SDR conversion, meaning you can display HDR movies very well on SDR screens via dynamic correction and colour reproduction.

Higher Level HDR10+

The Zidoo Z2000 PRO takes the lead in providing HDR10+ and Dolby Vision technology in a media player/streaming device. HDR10+ technology is capable of not only displaying peak brightness up to 4000 nits, but also processing metadata accurately for each frame. Namely, colours and brightness levels are obtained frame by frame and scene by scene, images could be displayed in details with wide dynamic contrast and richer colours.

Dolby Vision VS10 Technology

Z2000 PRO 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.

No matter the format (Dolby Vision, HDR, HLG, SDR, etc.) display device (TV, projector, monitor, etc.), or whether the Z2000 PRO is outputting HDR or SDR, colours are accurate for an incredibly immersive experience.

12Bit Colour Depth

Z2000 PRO's new image engine not only supports 10 Bit (approximately 1.07 billion colours) decoding and outputting at the resolution of 4K 60Hz, but also supports higher colour depth 12 bit (approximately 68 billion colours); 12 bit has much more vibrant colours and more natural colour transitions.

Wider Colour Range

The Z2000 PRO supports BT.2020 wide colour range which can display 75% of perceivable nature colours and closer to what human eyes could see, while traditional BT.709 can only display 35% of natural colours. This results in bright and eye-catching colours, rich and full images, and a better sense of space, three dimensions and layering.

Accurate Frame Rate Switching

Z2000 PRO supports switching original resolution and frame rate automatically and accurately (23.976, 59.94, 25, 30, 50, and 60). The new automatic switching algorithm allows completing the film frame rate switching in advance to ensure smooth and integral film playback.

Android 11 Operating System

With the integration of the Android 11 OS, the system performance, stability, and compatibility of the Z2000 PRO is greatly improved over the previous model. DRM widevine L1 is also supported.

Video Formats and Extensible Storage

Z2000 PRO has built in a powerful player, supporting BD/UHD Blu-ray (BDMV/ISO), 3DMVC (Blu-ray, MKV), MKV, M2TS, MTS, TS, MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, MPG, MPEG, VOB, FLV, 3GP, TP etc. What's more, it could connect with drives and hard disks (up to 14TB). NFS and SMB serves could be read in the same LAN.

Smooth Blu-ray Seamless Branching Playback

Z2000 PRO optimizes the video playback engine, which improves the Blu-ray seamless branching playback and says goodbye to stuttering and messy playback issues. BD and UHD Blu-ray navigation are played just like enjoying movies in a cinema.

Poster Wall

Z2000 PRO comes with new movie posters management system. It has concise navigation, personalised category, record viewing and custom collection etc. It makes movie collections more convenient and fully improves the efficiency of mass movies management.

Z2000 PRO can automatically search and match subtitles for movies on the Internet. PGS,ASS, SSA, SUP, SUB and SRT subtitle formats are supported. Subtitle font, colour, special effect, location could be customized. MKV and Blu-ray forced subtitles are also supported.

Lossless Music Playback
