Kaleidescape has introduced a new entry-level 4K movie player for residential, marine, and commercial theater systems, called Strato E, which supports reference 4K video output with SDR, HDR10, and Dolby Vision.

Like all Kaleidescape movie players, Strato E ($2,995 US MSRP) supports lossless multi-channel and spatial object-based audio, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

Strato E further enhances the company's movie player lineup, with Strato M as its reference 2K player, Strato E as its entry 4K player, and Strato V as the flagship 4K player; Strato C remains the best player for compatibility with our legacy products.

According to Kaleidescape, Strato E supports all the same formats of the flagship Strato V in the same design/form factor as the 2K Strato M. For example, Strato V has coax/Toslink outputs, and the Strato E (and the 2K Strato M) only has HDMI outputs.

"Our goal is to bring Kaleidescape to more customers by offering a range of movie players that fit the needs of a variety of projects," said Tayloe Stansbury, chairman and CEO of Kaleidescape. "Strato E stays true to our commitment?to performance and quality, with a lower cost of entry."

Strato E works on its own or as part of a larger Kaleidescape system. As a standalone system, Strato E provides a single playback zone that holds a half-dozen movies on an internal (480GB) solid-state drive- downloading a movie in about 10 minutes over gigabit Ethernet.

The Strato E features a streamlined interface that has been optimized for navigating a small movie library, offering automatic offloading of watched movies 48 hours after playback to make room for more movies. Purchased movies can be re-downloaded at any time. All movie players can also be grouped with?Terra Prime movie servers to increase movie storage.

Kaleidescape Strato movie players provide access to the Kaleidescape movie store, the world's only digital movie collection with lossless audio and full reference video quality. The movie store offers thousands of 4K and HD titles for purchase or rent, including movies, TV series, and concerts. Kaleidescape movies are downloaded, not streamed, so there is never buffering or loss in quality.

Strato E is available now through authorized Kaleidescape dealers.

Insane prices for software and a tiny hard drive. A 500 gb ssd costs 30 to 50 dollars and these guys are charging thousands. Get a pc.
