Kaleidescape Strato K 8K Movie Player

Strato K is the world’s highest-fidelity movie player. Just released from Kaleidescape, Strato K unlocks native 8K playback and plays their exclusive new 4K Cinematic™ format. 4K Cinematic movies include more image data for richer color, cleaner detail, and a breathtaking experience.

Taking advantage of 8K processing power, 4K Cinematic provides full chroma (up to 4:4:4) and much higher bitrates. This additional color and image data produces incredible visuals – engaging, immersive, and breathtaking – pulling you into the story and delivering a dramatic leap beyond today’s 4K.

Strato movie players provide lossless audio, maximizing sound quality with a range of downstream components. Strato supports multichannel and spatial audio codecs including Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Strato K works on its own or as part of a larger Kaleidescape system. When operating standalone, Strato K stores a handful of 8K, 4K Cinematic, or 4K movies on its internal one terabyte solid-state drive. Strato K can also be grouped with one or more Kaleidescape Terra movie servers to add movie storage and provide whole-home entertainment.
