“At Roku, we are committed to providing our users with the best
possible streaming experience with a focus on choice, value and
ease of use,” said Chris Larson, vice president of Retail Strategy,
Roku. “With the release of the Roku Ultra and Roku Voice Remote Pro
bundle we’re adding even more features to our most powerful player
while keeping the price under $100, ensuring that high performance
is readily accessible. With a click of a button or by using the
remote’s hands-free voice commands, Roku Ultra users can access the
content they want, set shortcuts for favorite channels, or find a
lost remote without moving from the couch. The best just keeps
getting better.”
Roku also announced the roll out of OS 11, its latest software
update, in March. With Roku OS 11, users will experience expanded
content discovery menu options, Roku Photo Streams — our new photo
sharing feature, and a super-charged mobile app, and much more.
Roku Ultra
The Roku Ultra remains the ultimate streaming player and comes
fully loaded with fast channel launch, Dolby Vision®, Dolby Atmos®,
Bluetooth®, Apple AirPlay and more.
- Outrageously powerful: With a lightning-fast interface
and channels that launch in a snap, Roku Ultra is the fastest and
most powerful Roku player ever.
- Dolby Vision®/HDR10+/4K: Stunningly sharp 4K picture
brings out the rich detail in your entertainment with four times
the resolution of HD. Watch as colors pop off your screen and enjoy
lifelike clarity with Dolby Vision® and HDR10+.
- Dolby Atmos®: Immersive entertainment with sound that
moves all around with breathtaking realism. Sound recorded in
stereo is limited to left and right channels. Sound mixed in Dolby
Atmos allows a deeper connection to shows and movies.
- Our best Wi-Fi: A strong, steady Wi-Fi connection is
important for streaming the highest picture quality, especially in
rooms farther from your router. Users can enjoy fast, seamless
streaming anywhere in their home with Roku’s best Wi-Fi or choose
to wire up over Ethernet.
Roku Voice Remote Pro
The Roku Voice Remote Pro was designed to be an incredible
upgrade for Roku users. It offers a rechargeable battery,
hands-free voice for easy actions (such as “Hey Roku, find my
remote”), personal shortcut buttons, and more.
- Rechargeable battery: Keep your remote powered for ~two
months on a single charge. It works with any standard USB charger
so you can save money on batteries and help keep them out of
landfills.
- Hands-free: Forget about reaching for the remote. Just
say “Hey Roku” and a command to turn the TV on, adjust the volume,
control playback and more without lifting a finger.
- Lost remote finder: Say “Hey Roku, find my remote” and
listen for a little chime to locate or use the button on the Roku
Ultra player or download the free Roku mobile app (available for
iOS and Android).
- TV controls: Power up your TV, adjust the volume, mute,
and control your streaming — all with one remote.
- Personal shortcuts: Set personal shortcuts using your
voice for one-touch control to launch your go-to channel, pull up
search results for your favorite movie, actor/actress and
more.
- Private listening: Don’t wake the house, just plug in
the included headphones into the headphone jack on the remote,
crank up the volume and enjoy your favorite show.
- Push-to-talk: Prefer to use traditional Roku Voice?
Leverage the hardware switch to turn off the hands-free voice
feature and use push-to-talk voice controls instead.
