Product Description
Announcing Kaleidescape Strato K, the world’s highest-fidelity movie player. Strato K introduces our exclusive new 4K Cinematic™ format and unlocks native 8K playback, bringing movie lovers closer to the filmmaker’s intent with cleaner detail, true-to-life color, and a more natural presentation that dramatically improves the viewing experience of any display. Strato K is available at $4,995 MSRP USD.
Taking advantage of its 8K processing power, Strato K offers our new 4K Cinematic format, with full chroma (up to 4:4:4) and much higher bitrates. This additional color and image data produces incredible visuals – engaging, immersive, and breathtaking – pulling you into the story and delivering a dramatic leap beyond today’s 4K.
“The introduction of Kaleidescape’s new Strato K player is a major milestone for the industry and the latest example of how the 8K ecosystem is continuing to evolve,” said Juan Reyes, Executive Director of the 8K Association. “As viewing screens become even larger and more 8K content becomes available, the Strato K movie player is poised to play a key role in this emerging market segment.”
The new Kaleidescape model is also the first movie player certified by the 8K Association that meets the performance and interoperability requirements developed by the Association’s Technical Working Group.
Like all Kaleidescape movie players, Strato K features lossless multichannel and spatial object-based audio, delivering bit for bit reproduction of high resolution movie soundtracks, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, for clear dialog and immersive, three dimensional sound.
Strato K works on its own or as part of a larger Kaleidescape system. When operating standalone, Strato K stores a handful of 8K, 4K Cinematic, or 4K movies on its internal one terabyte solid-state drive. Strato K can also be grouped with one or more Kaleidescape Terra movie servers to add movie storage and provide whole-home entertainment.
Kaleidescape customers download content via the Kaleidescape movie store, the world’s only high-fidelity movie library, delivering lossless audio and full reference video quality. The movie store offers thousands of titles, including movies, TV series, and concerts. Movies are available in 8K, 4K Cinematic, 4K, and 2K with lossless multichannel and object-based audio, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
