Asked 1 year ago by Confused.

• A:Answer This is not a Plex server. Kaleidescape is a company that has contracts with all of the Hollywood studios. You purchase the movies from their store and download them to their media servers. They are uncompressed 10-bit 4:4:4 versions of the movies directly from the studios. The movies are sometimes better than 4K Bluray releases, but they are often the same as the Bluray releases. So, you get a full-quality copy of the movie that is many many times better than what you get from streaming services. A movie is often 60+ GB per title. It's for people who want the best quality playback with the convenience of a streaming service. It was designed for extremely high-end home theater, marine, and private airplane applications. You can connect several players to this one media server. A full package preloaded with all available 4K movies, two 96TB Terra servers, and a Strato C player will run you about $96,000.00. It's a good price for the right person. Hope this answers your question, even if it was rhetorical. lol

Q: QuestionHow many movies will this hold/downlaod? Is there a subscription fee for it? If so how much?

Asked 1 year ago by A.

• A:Answer The movies that you purchase from Kaleidescape range in size from 20-30GB for 1080p titles to 60GB+ for 4K titles. When you purchase movies or TV shows from Kaleidescape, they are uncompressed 10-bit 4:4:4 versions directly from the movie studios. They are at least the same quality as the Bluray release but are often even higher quality since they are not restricted by the capacity of the Bluray media. Hope this helps give you an idea of the possibilities with this 31TB server. A lot of people with large libraries have several Terra servers working together to hold their library. And, 31TB isn't even close to the maximum size Terra server you can buy. :-)
