New, modular SMART Serie Basic Modules
Dune HD Smart B1 - The new, modular Network HD Media Player with Blu-ray Drive
Dune HD Smart B1 is an all-in-one solution for up to Full HD (1080p) video playback, combining a universal high definition media player and a modern Blu-ray disc player in one device.
Dune HD Smart players allow to create custom configurations based on the primary (head) unit like Dune HD Smart B1/H1/D1 and several optional extension modules of choice, which can be combined to form an integrated player.
The Dune HD Smart player itself is a head unit which can be extended at user's desire with extension modules, such as the following:
Dune HD Smart HE (adds the option for easy installation of SATA 3.5" HDD with hot swap feature).
Dune HD Smart ME (adds the option for installing different additional modules, in particular, for reception of satellite, cable or digital terrestrial TV).
Extension modules can work exclusively with the head unit (Dune HD Smart player) and use a common control system, implemented via the head unit. The number of connected modules may vary in a wide range: the user can compile his/her own Dune HD Smart system of e.g. two, three and even six components.
In order to group SMART devices by 2 or 3 horizontally, special mounts can be used. For example, a group of 3 modules, including the head unit, combined this way, will comprise a new player of a standard size like the model Dune HD Max.

Dune Remote iPhone / iPad App
Allows to fully control Dune HD players with Apple mobile devices
|
The application allows to fully control Dune HD players with Apple mobile devices such as iPhone and iPad. Dune Remote has been developed by the Ukrainian company UkrHD and is absolutely free and available for downloading at Apple Store.
It should be noted that player control with Dune Remote is based on commands sent via TCP/IP, and this means that your iPhone or iPad, as well as the Dune HD player, should be connected to the home network. At the moment of publication of this news the publicly available versions of Dune HD player firmware do not support controlling via this protocol. Such support will be fully integrated into players in the nearest future. Anyway, for all who wants to get aquainted with Dune Remote now, there is a special test version of the firmware available for download at the official manufacturer's site: http://dune-hd.com/firmware/ip_control/ |

Baltic Sun At St Petersburg 2003 — Documentary Verified [exclusive]
As St. Petersburg celebrates its 300th anniversary, Baltic Sun at St. Petersburg captures the city at a pivotal turning point—bridging its imperial past, the grim realities of the 20th century, and the bright, uncertain future of a port city reclaiming its identity as the "Window to the West."
Funding was sourced partly from the Russian Ministry of Culture and partly from a grant by the (George Soros’ foundation), which was still active in Russia at the time. This dual funding explains the film’s unique balance: it avoids overt state propaganda while still participating in the official celebratory mood.
Russian (with English titles/translations available) baltic sun at st petersburg 2003 documentary verified
(Provide specific titles on request.)
The documentary in question, titled "Baltic Sun at St. Petersburg 2003," claims to provide an insider's look at the ship's operations during its visit to St. Petersburg. The film appears to be a compilation of footage shot by an individual who claims to have been on board the ship or had access to its crew. This dual funding explains the film’s unique balance:
In the landscape of early 21st-century documentary filmmaking, certain works stand as quiet but crucial historical markers. One such film is Baltic Sun at St. Petersburg 2003 (original Russian title: Балтийское солнце в Санкт-Петербурге 2003 ). While not a mainstream blockbuster, this documentary has gained recognition among political historians, Slavic studies scholars, and archival film enthusiasts for its deliberate, observational portrayal of Russia’s former imperial capital during a landmark celebration.
A 12-minute sequence follows a flotilla of tall ships from a dozen countries. The documentary captures not just the spectacle but the logistical chaos behind the scenes: tangled ropes, a translator’s argument with a Dutch captain, and a child dropping a bouquet into the water. Petersburg
of the movement than on voyeurism. It captures a specific moment in St. Petersburg's local history when the Dunes beach was a central hub for this community, reflecting the broader tensions between newfound personal liberties and traditional social norms in early 21st-century Russia.
