Kaleidescape designed the Strato C movie player to provide an immersive home cinema experience, with better audio and video playback quality than most commercial theaters. Strato C is a premium 4K Ultra HD movie player that supports high dynamic range (HDR) and lossless multichannel audio including Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and DTS-HD Master Audio. Strato C plays movies from a Terra, a compact Terra, or a Strato S over a network, with bit rates up to 100 Mbps and frame rates up to 60 fps.
True 4K HDR
Strato C plays back true 4K Ultra HD movies with high dynamic range, without compression, banding, or artifacts. Kaleidescape’s video bitrate is 4x higher than streaming services, meaning less data loss and more crystal-clear detail.
Lossless Multichannel Audio
Strato C supports lossless multichannel 3D audio, including Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and DTS-HD Master Audio. Kaleidescape’s audio bitrate is 10x higher than streaming services, resulting in sound that can maximize your audio equipment.
Access to Kaleidescape Movies
Kaleidescape’s full-fidelity movies have a video bitrate 4x higher and audio quality 10x higher than streaming services. Kaleidescape’s movie store features 14,000 movies, series, and concerts—including over 1,000 4K movies (700 not available on 4K Blu-ray disc).
Control System Integration
The Kaleidescape Strato C is compatible with popular control systems and universal remotes so you can truly customize your home cinema experience. Dim the lights, close the shades—at the touch of a button.
Whole-House System
Multiple Strato C players can be paired with a Terra server, providing a premium home entertainment experience throughout the entire house.

- A: AnswerFrom what I see on Kaleidescape's website you would need a one of their Terra servers to store movies to and access. The Strato V seems to store up to 10 movies and is a player as well for the original price of the C.

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.

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!
