On the Go
Strato E makes it easy to enjoy your Kaleidescape movies at home, on vacation, or bring movie night to your friends and family.
Lossless Audio
Strato E movie players provide lossless audio, maximizing sound quality with a range of downstream components. Strato E supports multichannel and spatial audio codecs including Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and DTS-HD Master Audio.
Kaleidescape Strato E’s lossless audio makes your processor, amplifiers, and speakers sound the way the director intended. The dialogue is clearer, and every subtle sound and rumble draws you deeper into the story.
Reference 4K Video
High-fidelity output. Strato E plays 4K movies in standard dynamic range, HDR10, and Dolby Vision, with BT.2020 and 4:2:2 chroma, making reference 4K video output look sharper, with more accurate colour fidelity.
Downloaded, Not Streamed
Movie bitrates up to 100 Mbps. Kaleidescape movies are high bitrate and downloaded to local storage for uninterrupted, flawless playback. There is never buffering or degradation, unlike streaming services that are limited by internet infrastructure.
Kaleidescape movies are also unconstrained by file size limits, enabling our content team to maximize the video quality transcoded from studio mezzanine files, unlike Blu-ray discs that have a maximum file size limit.
Standalone
Kaleidescape’s lowest cost of entry into 4K movie players. When standalone, Strato E stores about a half-dozen high-bitrate movies on an internal, solid-state drive. Strato E features the same streamlined interface as Strato V, optimized for navigating a small movie library.
Strato E can download a Kaleidescape movie in minutes over gigabit Ethernet. Downloads become a candidate for automatic deletion 48 hours after playback, making room for more movies. Purchased movies can be re-downloaded at any time.
Scalable
An investment that grows with you. Want room for more movies or players in additional rooms? Unlock the full Kaleidescape experience by grouping Strato E with Terra Prime movie servers. Add the reference 4K Strato V movie player to primary viewing areas and Strato E to ancillary spaces, like kitchens or bedrooms. Any number of Strato movie players can be grouped into a system, with up to four servers per system.
Grouping with a movie server activates the iconic Kaleidescape covers view and list menus for navigating large movie libraries. It also unlocks Kaleidescape’s parental control settings and proprietary child remote, for a customizable family-friendly experience.
Viewing Distance
For theatres or living rooms where your viewing distance is approximately 1.5x the size of the screen in inches (or farther), the Strato M’s 2K video output will work for your space. For anything closer than that, you may want to consider a Strato E for its stunning 4K video output.
Industrial Grade Hardware
Installation Made Easy
Strato E can easily be tucked behind a TV or placed on a shelf. For a more customized installation, official Kaleidescape rack shelves and wall mount solutions are available.
