The Co-Star solution allows a Strato movie player to present a unified onscreen library that includes all of a Kaleidescape customer’s movies – from DVD discs to downloaded 4K HDR movies – in one seamless interface.

Kaleidescape Co-Star Software: Lumagen Video Processor Option

Purchasing the Kaleidescape Co-Star software license for Lumagen allows a Radiance Pro to act as a Co-Star switch, simplifying installation and supporting legacy AV receivers without HDMI 2.0 capabilities.

Specs

  • With the Co-Star for Crestron feature, Strato players are paired with Kaleidescape M-Class players using Crestron DM-NVX encoder/decoder devices, which can switch between video sources and transport 2160p60 4:4:4 video over standard Gigabit Ethernet.
  • NVX devices are controlled using a Crestron control processor, and the Kaleidescape module for these processors has been extended to allow Strato to direct the NVX devices to switch between players, enabling playback of movies from both systems.


Additional Info

The Co-Star solution allows a Strato movie player to present a unified onscreen library that includes all of a Kaleidescape customer’s movies – from DVD discs to downloaded 4K HDR movies – in one seamless interface. Co-Star allows the movies on both a Strato system and a Premiere system to be played from a single user interface.

The Kaleidescape module for Crestron processors implements two signals, one which is high when Strato is active (Strato_Active), and one which is high when the Premiere player is active (Premiere_Active). With Co-Star, Strato presents the user interface and handles playback of all movies downloaded to the Strato system, including 4K content. When the customer plays a movie that is stored on the Premiere system, the module uses the Premiere signal to indicate that the control processor must switch to the paired M-Class player, and the module uses the Strato signal when the movie playback is stopped, to indicate that the processor must switch back to the Strato player. During playback on the Premiere player, Strato relays control commands to the paired player, so as far as the control system is concerned playback appears as if the movie were playing on the Strato.
