Take Movie Playback Home

Streaming your movies from the same device you browse the web or check email limits your home theater. Bring your own dedicated movie source solution into your home theater setup with the Kaleidescape Strato C 4K Movie Player. It plays your movies using 4K HDR video and lossless Dolby Atmos or DTS: X audio for a richer home cinema experience.

HDR10 and Dolby Vision compatibility allow your display to show brighter brights and darker darks. Kaleidescape’s high-resolution on-screen interface also makes it easy to navigate your collection and select what you want to play. Managing your library has never been easier, so you can enjoy more time watching movies.

Slim Form Factor. Big Performance.

The Kaleidescape Strato C 4K Movie Player’s slim form factor allows it to fit easily into a rack system. It also runs quietly with fanless technology so you can enjoy your movies without background noise from the player. Also. you can even connect the player to a Terra or Strato server to access more movies than can fit on the player itself.

Enjoy your movies anywhere in your home that supports multi-room playback when you connect the Strato C to the rest of your Kaleidescape setup. Despite its many features, the player has an intuitive interface that simplifies navigation. So, this makes the Strato C ideal for both dedicated theaters and well thought-out whole-home systems.

The Kaleidescape Strato C is a Smart Choice for Movie Playback

The Strato C works best in home theaters where every detail in picture and sound quality is important. It pairs beautifully with a 4K-enabled display or projector that can display HDR10 or Dolby Vision content, and its lossless audio support helps bring out the best in your surround sound system. Consider the Strato C as you plan your source equipment.

From there, pay close attention to your display, sound equipment, and room when building out the rest of your system. Use our Home Theater Design Tool to help plan your room and Build Your System to learn about equipment that completes your home theater. If you’d prefer some guidance while planning your system, let Dreamedia+ help you plan your entire home theater based on your equipment and goals.
