Kaleidescape Unveils Strato E: Affordable 4K Cinema Experience

The Strato E stands out with its compact design and built-in 480GB solid-state drive, allowing users to store and play approximately six 4K movies right out of the box. Unlike the Strato C, which requires pairing with a server for content access, the Strato E offers a streamlined, standalone experience. It supports Dolby Vision and HDR10, ensuring exceptional video quality that aligns with the latest 4K standards. Additionally, the player accommodates a wide range of audio formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, delivering immersive, lossless sound that surpasses typical streaming services.

Integration flexibility is a key feature of the Strato E. It can function independently or connect to Kaleidescape’s Terra Prime movie servers for expanded storage, accommodating up to 72TB. The intuitive user interface enhances the viewing experience by automatically grouping similar titles based on genre, actors, or directors, facilitating effortless content discovery. The smart storage system efficiently manages space by offloading watched movies after 48 hours, with the option to re-download purchased titles as needed.

Performance-wise, the Strato E is equipped with HDMI 2.1 for video output and supports 4K resolution at up to 60 frames per second, ensuring smooth and detailed playback on compatible displays. The device also features gigabit Ethernet connectivity for swift downloads from Kaleidescape’s extensive digital store, which boasts thousands of titles available in high-definition and 4K quality. This approach eliminates the buffering issues common with streaming, providing a consistent and high-quality viewing experience.

The introduction of the Strato E signifies Kaleidescape’s commitment to broadening its customer base by offering a high-performance movie player at a more attainable price point. By maintaining the brand’s renowned quality and expanding accessibility, the Strato E makes premium home cinema experiences available to a wider audience without compromising on technical excellence.
