Strato V Offers a Combined Movie Server and Player

Over the last decade, home entertainment and the technology supporting it have transformed how we experience images and sound. In addition to advancements in speakers, surround sound technology, displays, projectors, and screens, the rise of streaming services has significantly impacted the entertainment landscape. 

However, the problem with the explosion of streaming platforms has been maintaining the high-quality experience homeowners have come to expect. While promising 4K resolution and surround sound technology, streaming services must, by nature, deliver compressed content. 

That’s where Kaleidescape comes in. 

As the ultimate movie platform and the only digital provider of full reference video quality and lossless audio, it transformed the movie-watching experience. For many, however, two challenges remained: its high cost and lack of support for Dolby Vision, an HDR imaging technology that offers stunning images by enhancing color, contrast, and brightness. Due to the company’s pursuit of high-performance audio and video, some saw this inability as a significant setback.

Kaleidescape’s new product, Strato V, resolved these issues. 

Here, we’ll explore what this movie player delivers and how it supports homeowners in their quest for the ultimate home entertainment.
