Kaleidescape Strato 4k Ultra HD Media Player - 6TB

Kaleidescape designed the Strato movie player to provide an immersive homecinema experience, with better audio and video playback quality than most commercial theaters.

Unlike streaming services, each movie is downloaded and stored on a hard drive, on either a Kaleidescape Terra movie server, or a Kaleidescape Alto or Strato movie player. Strato plays downloaded 4K Ultra HD movies at up to 100 Mbps and 60 frames per second, without the startup delays, buffering messages, or quality drops that are so common with streaming services. Strato plays downloaded Blu-ray and DVD quality movies in 4K using advanced upscaling algorithms.

Strato supports lossless multichannel audio, and is capable of playing HDR content on televisions and projectors that can process open standard 10-bit HDMI® 2.0a HDR. The Strato onscreen user interface is also displayed in full 4K Ultra HD, at 60 frames per second, resulting in fluid animation and a stunning visual impact.

Strato can be purchased with or without an internal 6TB hard drive that can store up to 100 4K Ultra HD movies, 200 Blu-ray quality movies, or 900 DVD quality movies. Strato equipped with an internal hard drive can be used standalone or in a system with other Encore components. The Strato with or without an internal hard drive can play back from a Terra movie server, or from another Kaleidescape Strato or Alto with internal storage. Movies start immediately, without trailers or warnings, and you can jump right to your favorite scenes and songs, without fast forwarding.

The Kaleidescape Movie Store is the world’s only online movie store that caters to the discriminating consumer with a massive library of the finest content from Hollywood’s major motion-picture studios. The Kaleidescape Movie Store offers over 100 4K Ultra HD titles, and thousands of movies in full Blu-ray HD quality with multichannel lossless audio (including Dolby Atmos). These Blu-ray quality movies provide superb results when Strato scales them up to 4K.
