Kaleidescape

The Kaleidescape System

The Kaleidescape System simplifies the way you collect, manage and enjoy movies and music. Once your personal entertainment collection is stored on the Kaleidescape System's fault-tolerant Servers, you can say goodbye to DVD and CD clutter and the frustration of storing and organizing your movies and music. And, since your Kaleidescape System uses high-speed networking to deliver your favorite movies and music throughout your home, you can instantly access and enjoy them when and where it's convenient for you, your family or your guests.

The Kaleidescape System comprises three primary components: Servers, Movie Players and Music Players. They can be combined in myriad ways to deliver movies and music seamlessly throughout your home.

Kaleidescape 3U Server and 1U Server

 

Kaleidescape

 

Kaleidescape Servers are engineered to reliably store your movie and music collection, protecting your entertainment investment. As your collection grows you can add additional Kaleidescape Disk Cartridges, or group multiple Servers for a collection of thousands of movies and tens of thousands of albums.

The 3U Server provides four times the capacity of the 1U Server, and features a Hot Spare Disk Cartridge for even better storage reliability and peace of mind in marine and other remote installations. Once your movies and music are stored on your Kaleidescape Servers, they can be enjoyed instantly in any room with a Player.

Kaleidescape 1080p Player

The 1080p Player creates beautiful high definition video from your DVDs, providing a viewing experience that rivals Blu-ray. The 1080p Player adapts its video processing to the type of content being viewed to achieve results impossible for an external scaler. Insert a disc into a 1080p Player and enjoy detailed information about the movie or album, including cover art, movie synopsis, album review, and track names. Select "Play Movie" on the onscreen display (OSD), and enjoy watching the movie without trailers or advertisements - even for rental movies!

Kaleidescape 1080p Mini Player

The 1080p Mini Player offers the video and audio performance of the 1080p Player, in a compact package. Its small size and near-silent operation means it can be installed inconspicuously in the viewing room. Designed to play back movies and music from a Kaleidescape Server, the 1080p Mini Player is perfect for locations where import and direct playback of DVDs or CDs are not required.

Kaleidescape Music Player

The Music Player is a high-performance audio component designed to import into and play back music from a Kaleidescape Server. Each of the four independent zones simultaneously delivers high-quality audio in both digital and analog stereo. The built-in combo drive imports DVDs as well as CDs providing additional flexibility to import Movies in Systems supporting both Movies and Music.

Kaleidescape Speed Reader

The Speed Reader imports large numbers of DVDs and CDs into a Kaleidescape System. More content, whether from your private collection or one of Kaleidescape's carefully compiled DVD Collections, makes the Kaleidescape Experience even more compelling and engaging.

 

Kaleidescape Cinema One

The Cinema One is a single component movie server that holds up to 225 DVDs or 2,500 CDs. For more storage or to share movies with another TV, simply add another Cinema One or a Kaleidescape player to the home network. In fact, any Kaleidescape component works seamlessly with the Cinema One.
