HOME CINEMA WITHOUT COMPROMISE When you design a home theater or media room capable of delivering a stunning cinematic experience, there is no substitute for Kaleidescape. Kaleidescape is the only movie source that can replicate a real Big Screen experience. No other product offers the level of audio/video fidelity, control system integration, or hand-groomed metadata required to provide a home cinema experience that surpasses what most local theaters can offer. From automated screen masking to lighting controls, Kaleidescape is the one component that can bring any home theater to life. INDUSTRY-LEADING MOVIES & PLAYERS Movies from Kaleidescape are different. Unlike streamed content, the movies are prepared and delivered for an uncompromised home cinema experience. Using proprietary methods, we process movie files using minimal compression to preserve fidelity, while adding soundtracks, subtitles, and extensive proprietary metadata to take full advantage of the Kaleidescape movie player and the other components in your home cinema. Streaming devices can’t harness the full audio and video capabilities of luxury home cinema equipment, and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray players can’t match the instant-access convenience and sophisticated search capabilities of streaming devices. We could say our Strato system offers you the best of both worlds, but that wouldn’t be accurate—Strato is better.
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 limited by internet infrastructure.
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.
