Description

Kaleidescape’s entry-level movie player, redefined. Providing lossless audio and reference-quality 2K video output, Strato M works on its own or as part of a Kaleidescape system. Available for residential, marine, and commercial theatres.
 
  • Lowest cost of entry with Kaleidescape quality.
  • Standalone. Includes 480GB solid-state storage.
  • Scalable. Add a server for more movies on demand and more players for whole-house entertainment.
  • Lossless spatial audio. Clear dialog and immersive sound effects.
  • Reference 2K video. Blu-ray quality or better, with more color detail (Dolby Vision, HDR10, BT.2020, 4:2:2 chroma).

 

On the Go

Strato M makes it easy to enjoy your Kaleidescape movies at home, on vacation, or bring movie night to your friends and family.
 

 

Visionary

High-fidelity output. Strato M plays 4K movies in standard dynamic range, HDR10, and Dolby Vision, with BT.2020 and 4:2:2 chroma, making reference 2K video output look sharper, with more accurate colour fidelity.

 

Superior Sonics

Lossless audio with passthrough and player-side decode maximizes sound quality with a range of downstream components. Supports multichannel and spatial audio codecs including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio.

 

Standalone

Kaleidescape’s lowest cost of entry. When standalone, Strato M stores about a half-dozen high-bitrate movies on an internal, solid-state drive. Strato M features the same streamlined interface as Strato V, optimized for navigating a small movie library.

 
Strato M 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

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.

 

Control options

Our intuitive mobile app, IR remote, or your home automation system (e.g. Josh.ai, Crestron, Control4, Savant) easily navigate the onscreen interface.

 

Exclusive

Your ticket to the Kaleidescape movie store with access to thousands of movies. The world’s only digital movie provider with lossless audio and full reference video quality.
