Kaleidescape Terra Prime HDD Movie Server

About The Kaleidescape Terra Prime HDD Movie Server

Terra Prime movie servers store Kaleidescape movies, TV series, and concerts. Kaleidescape movies have lossless audio and reference video, are downloaded asynchronously and then played back from local storage. This enables playback with full fidelity, irrespective of internet connectivity.

Kaleidescape movie files are typically ten times larger than streamer movies, retaining near lossless video and fully lossless audio fidelity from studio masters. By contrast, streaming movie files are heavily compressed to create small movie files that can be streamed over the internet.

Kaleidescape movies are played back on Strato movie players. The Strato V movie player can store about ten downloaded movies. But for greater movie storage capacity and immediate playback of more movies, you can group Strato V with up to four Terra Prime movie servers.

When Strato V is grouped with a Terra Prime movie server, its internal storage is disabled (in favour of more scalable server storage), and the full Kaleidescape user experience is enabled, including the list view and iconic cover shuffle view, which look and work better with larger movie libraries.

Whole-Home Performance: Terra Prime ensures maximum storage flexibility while supporting Strato V, Strato C, Strato E and Strato M movie players throughout your home.

Multiple Homes: Add a Kaleidescape system to all your homes. Kaleidescape movies can be downloaded on up to five systems registered to your movie store account.

Reliable Performance: Assembled in the USA in a solar-powered factory, Kaleidescape movie servers are custom designed and manufactured for reliable, premium performance. Kaleidescape’s operating system (kOS) is managed with automatic updates, providing the best experience.
