Kaleidescape Strato V 4K Movie Player

Strato V is Kaleidescape's new next-generation movie player. Providing 4K Dolby Vision playback with lossless audio decode, Strato V works as a standalone or as part of a larger Kaleidescape system.

Customers may now choose between the Strato V and Strato C movie players, depending on their needs. Strato V is perfect for new customers and those who have a TV or projector with Dolby Vision support, or older audio equipment that does not decode Dolby TrueHD or DTS:HD. Strato C is perfect for current Kaleidescape customers who have a Co-Star configuration or a large library of HD content, and for installations that require an HDMI audio output separate from the HDMI video output. When standalone, Strato V stores approximately 10 reference 4K movies on an internal, solid-state drive. Featuring a new streamlined interface, Strato V is optimized for navigating a small movie library.

• Reference video for every 4K display. SDR, HDR10, and now Dolby Vision.
• Lossless spatial audio. Clear dialog and immersive sound effects.
• Standalone. An entry-level Kaleidescape system that works on its own.
• Scalable. Add a server for more movies and whole-house entertainment.
• Ultimate performance. New electronics and grounding topology for audiophiles.

Strato V can download a Kaleidescape 4K movie in as little as 10 minutes over gigabit Ethernet, during movie playback, without sacrificing performance. Downloads become a candidate for automatic deletion 48 hours after playback, making room for more movies. Want room for more movies or players in additional rooms? Unlock the full Kaleidescape experience by grouping Strato V with Terra Prime movie servers. Any number of Strato V movie players can be grouped into a system, with up to four servers per system.

Visionary
