    Strato C player

    If you love movies and a have a dedicated space for the best movie watching experience, this is a must have. Although expensive, it is by far the best AV quality and convenience you can achieve.

    Great AV Product

    This product delivers on what it says. It is expensive but works and works well. It doesn't do HDR 10+ or Dolby Vision but most projectors and TVs don't either. It does do everything else and looks great on projectors and TVs.

    Expensive but Awesome!

    Awesome player!!! Takes your home theater equipment performance to the level that you could never imagine that they would play.

    Best Cinema/Cinema Player Ever!!!

    Love the ecosystem that Kaleidescape has built up. It’s super easy to use, the video quality is excellent, and the audio is out of this world. If you have a legit surround sound system coupled with an amazing projector or TV, this will amplify what you will already have. This unit is for displays/projectors only and you have to get a Terra/Compact Terra server to store movies on the system first. Best purchase to make my system truely shine!

    Best of the best

    The ultimate movie experience. Without Kaleidscape, you might as well toss your projector in the trash because you can’t experience the true power of it. Source content is everything
