Kaleidescape has announced the availability of its Strato E, a new entry-level 4K movie player for residential, marine, and commercial theater systems. Strato E supports reference 4K video output with SDR, HDR10, and Dolby Vision and works independently or as part of a larger Kaleidescape system.
“Our goal is to bring Kaleidescape to more customers by offering a range of movie players that fit the needs of a variety of projects,” said Tayloe Stansbury, chairman and CEO of Kaleidescape. “Strato E stays true to our commitment to performance and quality, with a lower cost of entry.”
Like all Kaleidescape movie players, Strato E supports lossless multi-channel and spatial object-based audio, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It also provides a single playback zone that holds a half-dozen movies on an internal solid-state drive, downloading a movie in about ten minutes over gigabit Ethernet as a standalone system.
Strato E enhances Kaleidescape’s movie player lineup, with Strato M as the reference 2K player, Strato E as the entry 4K player, and Strato V as the flagship 4K player; Strato C remains the best player for compatibility with its legacy products.
Kaaleidescape features a streamlined interface, optimized for navigating a small movie library, offers automatic offloading of watched movies 48 hours after playback to make room for more movies. Purchased movies can be re-downloaded at any time. All movie players can also be grouped with the Terra Prime movie servers to increase movie storage.
Kaleidescape Strato movie players provide access to the Kaleidescape movie store, the world’s only digital movie collection with lossless audio and full reference video quality. The movie store offers thousands of 4K and HD titles for purchase or rent, including movies, TV series, and concerts. Kaleidescape movies are downloaded, not streamed, so there is never buffering or loss in quality.
Strato E is available now through authorized Kaleidescape dealers.
