Specification Details of 5KPlayer
- Genre: Media Player Software
- Version: 2.0
- Size: 36.5 MB

Main Characteristics
- For starters, 5KPlayer that we’ve tested is a truly FREE video and audio player software. And be rest assured, it is not bundled with any adware, spyware or virus at all.
- It is capable of playing movie videos in MP4, MKV, AVI, FLV, etc, audios in MP3 APE, FLAC, AAC and more, DVDs (incl. region-locked DVDs) as well as radio. 5KPlayer wins hands down compared to QT, a popular Mac video player, which is limited in supportable video formats.
- What really amazes me is that 5KPlayer is a free media player supporting AirPlay and online video download, be it 1080p, 4K UHD or 5K, from YouTube, Vevo, Facebook and other 300 video websites. You are allowed to play music and videos on any AirPlay enabled devices by, such as streaming movies from iPhone/iPad/iPod to Mac or AirPlay from Mac to Apple TV to enjoy widescreen visual feast.
- It is a media file manager. 5KPlayer makes me feel like I get the hang of how to easily organize piles of DVD movies, video and music files.
Bonus Points
Besides its user-friendly interface, we also find some other considerate designs of this media player: it natively supports playing interlaced videos and can change interlaced scanning mode to the progressive to improve video effect, which means that all kinds of camcorder-recorded videos can be output in high quality with 5KPlayer while other video players cannot even play them. What’s more, this free UHD media player offers manual settings of audio/video/subtitles synchronizations if you get stuck in the problem of video delay.
Software Update
As a newly released UHD movie player and free music player software, 5KPlayer is under further development for continuous update. Note that the current version works greatly on Mac OS X 10.7 to 10.10 Yosemite and the Windows edition is still on the way.
