Kaleidescape Strato V Affordable High-Performance Home Cinema
introducing the new Strato V from U.S brand Kaleidescape. It made big news this week with the launch of a new affordable version of its world class movie and content storage and delivery system.
Generally speaking, we are brand-agnostic at Prestige Audio; we pick the most suitable high-performance products and systems for each client and each situation. With our decades of experience in the market, we have many world-class brands and products to work with, so finding the right mix is usually just a case of making sure we understand the needs of the customer and the space the system will be installed in. Kaleidescape and its Strato V is just one of these
However, there are a few brands that feature in our designs when we want to deliver the best performance possible. One of these is Kaleidescape, a company that produces what is undeniably the highest-performing content storage and playback system available. Kaleidescape products and the company’s own online store enable customers to access, download, and watch movies as the director intended. Content from the Kaleidescape online store has up to ten times the bitrate of Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+, and Amazon Prime. This results in far superior imaging and sound. Streaming services use compressed versions of Dolby Digital Plus; Kaleidescape provides lossless, bit-for-bit soundtracks in Dolby Atmos and DTS.
Playback is either the same as or better than UHD Blu-ray discs. This is because Kaleidescape does use a variable bit rate so viewers get everything the artists intended. This is useful when enjoying movie classics which have enjoyed makeovers into 4K versions. Kaleidescape is able to take full advantage of all the extra imaging and audio contained on these remastered versions.
Kaleidescape Strato V Launched
For a system that can deliver all of this, you might expect to pay a premium. A Kaleidescape system can represent a significant investment. We argue this is well worth it for the level of performance delivered. However, this changed recently with the launch of the Kaleidescape Strato V. This product provides an ‘entry-level’ option to the world of Kaleidescape. There are compromises; this version cannot store as much content as some of the other products in the range. However, apart from that, the performance is the same. The Strato V is able to play back 4K Dolby Vision images based on the very latest HDR technology.
Clearly the best!
We have been doing some A to B comparisons putting playback of Apple TV+ up against the Strato V. Apple’s service is amongst the best quality, but when compared to the Strato V, the difference is obvious. The Kaleidescape Strato V represents a significant milestone in the world of high-performance home cinema. As we strive to deliver the very best experience to a wider range of customers and price points. The best just got even better for a bigger audience.
