Uncompromising Picture Quality

The Kaleidescape Strato E plays 4K movies in standard dynamic range, HDR10, and Dolby Vision with superb upscaling of HD and SD quality content to full 4K resolution.

Lossless Audio

Strato movie players provide lossless audio, maximising sound quality with a range of downstream components. Strato supports multichannel and spatial audio codecs including Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Kaleidescape's lossless audio makes your processor, amplifiers, and speakers sound the way the director intended. The dialogue is clearer, and every subtle sound and rumble draws you deeper into the story.

Downloaded, Not Streamed

Movie bitrates up to 100 Mbps. Kaleidescape movies are high bitrate and downloaded to local storage for uninterrupted, flawless playback. There is never buffering or degradation, unlike streaming services that are limited by internet infrastructure. Kaleidescape movies are also unconstrained by file size limits, enabling the Kaleidescape content team to maximise the video quality transcoded from studio mezzanine files, unlike Blu-ray discs that have a maximum file size limit.

Leading streaming services encode 4K video at an average of around 8 megabits per second. Kaleidescape’s 4K movies are encoded at an average of 65 megabits per second. While streaming platforms provide content that’s highly compressed and can vary depending on internet bandwidth, Kaleidescape movies are downloaded to a local hard drive so they play perfectly every time. The streaming video suffers from severe compression artifacts, including loss of detail and colour accuracy, and a lot of added noise.

Not only do Kaleidescape movies carry more video information, but audio reproduction is bit-for-bit lossless quality. Compared to streaming services, Kaleidescape’s higher audio bitrate ensures you will hear everything from the softest whispers to room-rattling explosions.

 

 

Standalone

When standalone, the Strato E stores about half a dozen high-bitrate movies on the internal solid-state drive. Strato E features the same streamlined interface as the flagship Strato V and 2K Strato M, optimised for navigating a small movie library.

Strato E can download a Kaleidescape movie in minutes over gigabit Ethernet. Downloads become a candidate for automatic deletion 48 hours after playback, making room for more movies. Purchased movies can be re-downloaded at any time.

Scalable

A Kaleidescape movie player is an investment that grows with you. Want room for more movies or players in additional rooms? Unlock the full Kaleidescape experience by grouping Strato with Terra Prime movie servers. Add Strato V or Strato E to primary viewing areas and Strato M to ancillary spaces, like kitchens or bedrooms. Any number of Strato movie players can be grouped into a system, with up to four servers per system.

Grouping with a server activates the iconic Kaleidescape covers view and list menus for navigating large movie libraries. It also unlocks Kaleidescape’s parental control settings and proprietary child remote, for a customisable family-friendly experience.
