Kaleidescape has unveiled the Strato M, an entry-level movie player designed for home, marine, and commercial theater systems. The new player offers reference-quality 2K video output, surpassing standard Blu-ray quality, along with support for lossless audio.

The Strato M provides access to the Kaleidescape movie store, which delivers digital downloads with lossless audio and full reference video quality. The movie store includes thousands of titles available for purchase or rental, spanning films, TV series, and concert videos. Kaleidescape emphasizes that, unlike streaming services, downloaded movies from its store maintain consistent quality without buffering or compression.

Strato M can function independently or as part of a broader Kaleidescape ecosystem. As a standalone device, it features internal storage sufficient for around six movies, downloaded in approximately ten minutes via gigabit Ethernet. The device automatically offloads movies 48 hours after viewing to maintain available space, with users able to re-download content at any time.

For expanded storage, the Strato M can connect to Kaleidescape’s Terra Prime movie servers, enabling users to retain a larger movie library and access the comprehensive Kaleidescape interface. Compatible with other Kaleidescape models—including Strato V and Strato C—Strato M supports a variety of audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and video enhancements like Dolby Vision, HDR10, BT.2020 color space, and 4:2:2 chroma sampling.

Available immediately through authorized Kaleidescape dealers, the Strato M represents Kaleidescape's effort to broaden access to high-end digital cinema at a more accessible price point.
