The next generation of movie player technology.
Providing 4K Dolby Vision playback with lossless audio decode, Strato V works on its own or as a part of a larger Kaleidescape system.
Key Features:
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.
Delivering movie bitrates up to 100 Mbps. Kaleidescape movies are high bitrate and downloaded to local storage for uninterrupted, flawless playback, unlike streaming services that are heavily compressed and limited by internet infrastructure.
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. Notice how much more accurate and detailed the Kaleidescape picture is, even over the 4K Blu-ray disc. The streaming video suffers from severe compression artifacts, including loss of detail and color accuracy, and a lot of added noise.
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.
Not only do Kaleidescape movies carry more video information, but their audio 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.
