5K Player, the world’s first UHD player, is now available.

In the late 1990s broadcast television began broadcasting in High-Definition. This was a revolutionary move for video and viewing at home. Today, we are on the brink of a second television revolution with UHD, or Ultra High-Definition. The most impressive thing about UHD is that it will display 4K video. What if you want to play video of that quality on your computer? Now you can with DearMob’s 5K Player.

5K player is a the world’s first UHD video and audio player. The app provides extensive file support and will play 4K, HD, 3D videos, DVD and radio. Plus, the video player will play MKV, M@TS, MP4, AVI, WMV, FLV video files. What really makes this video player unique is that it supports AirPlay streaming technology. It ensures that people can easily stream videos or music from iOS devices to the Mac wirelessly and even mirror content to AirPlay enabled devices like an Apple TV.

In addition to 5K Player being a very high-quality video and audio player, it can also act as a media library. Once you load videos into 5K Player, you can create an entire media library. Simply open the file and then save it to your Favorites or a Playlist. 5K Player will also allow you to download videos directly from YouTube and other internet sources.

5K Player also has a video converter built-in to the app. It will convert online videos to MP3 or AAC music format or to the H264 video format. In testing this feature, I took a 4.5 minute long 4K video and converted it to an AAC file. This conversion process only took about 20 seconds. It was very fast and when it was done, the file was automatically placed in my music files.

All in all, I was very impressed with 5K Player when I started using I wasn’t sure what to expect. I did find the controls a little clumsy in that the audio would continue playing even after the media control was set to ‘pause.’ I’m not sure what is causing this, but I’m sure it will be addressed with future releases of the software.

If you are looking for a solid piece of software that will play 4K video and connect to AirPlay, I would recommend giving 5k Player. It’s a free download for Mac. For more information, visit http://www.5kplayer.com.

    I agree that it’s a useful tool for Macs especially when trying to play video formats that Quicktime can’t open. My BIG gripe though is that it seems to take over and become the Default player for ALL videos, even those coded as .mov/.mpeg etc. I consistently have to go into the info windows on those files and set Quicktime as the default app. I then click on the “Change all” option to keep 5k Player from opening them. Yet when I log-out or shutdown my computer and re-start later, the same issue starts all over. 5k has somehow become the default player again! It’s bothersome enough that I’m about ready to erase it from my system and find another program that, though may not be as useful, doesn’t surreptitiously over-ride my control.

          Same here. It’s really a shame because it was such a great way to play so many different types of videos. I have been holding on hopping for some sort of update that would fix these random problems. 🙁

    Agree. Also I have been unable to stop it from launching on startup.
    If I can’t figure this out it’s toast.

      Ken, I’m experiencing the same issue – no where can I find a way to prevent it running at startup! Have you discovered anything in the last month since you posted this?

    Yes, it is really an annoyance.
    It may assigns itself as a default player, but user changes the default player, it should not override it.
    🙁

    Same problem here. I can’t stop it from launching at startup and it takes over as the default player every time. It’s a deal breaker for me.
