Kaleidescape Announces New Terra 72 Terabyte Movie Server for the Ultimate Movie Collector at CEDIA 2021

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaleidescape, the industry leader in delivering the finest private cinema playback experience, announced today at the 2021 CEDIA Expo (Booth #3604) the availability of its new Kaleidescape Terra 72 terabyte movie server. The Terra 72 server, when combined with a Strato C movie player, provides an unrivaled experience, with lossless multi-channel audio and visually lossless 4K Ultra HD (UHD) video, thanks to a superior video compression solution utilizing 4 to 5x the video bit rate of competing digital video services.

"The Kaleidescape Terra 72 is the largest 4K movie server we have developed to date, designed specifically for customers looking to move from disc to digital or increase their collection through our award-winning movie store," said Tayloe Stansbury, CEO, Kaleidescape. "The new offering can store nearly 1,200 high fidelity 4K UHD movies in unrivaled quality, delivering faster download speeds and a seamless playback experience for the ultimate movie collector." 

With the power to download feature-length 4K movies in as little as 10 minutes on a gigabit internet connection, the Terra 72 can also download content while supporting playback on multiple Strato players. The foundation for a multi-room Kaleidescape Strato system, the Terra 72 movie server can support any number of Strato C players and serve up to 10 simultaneous 4K UHD playbacks.

"With the increase of 4K UHD titles available, especially now with HDR, Dolby Atmos and DTS-X formats, we are seeing tremendous demand for the new Kaleidescape Terra 72 movie server," explained Jim Goodrich, CEO, Cinelife. "Many customers who have been Kaleidescape owners for years, want the ability to increase and consolidate their collections onto a single server, with the added reliability and playback quality only Kaleidescape offers."                  

The Kaleidescape movie store has the largest collection of 4K titles available and boasts over 12,000 titles for purchase and more than 8,000 for rent. Users can rent or download movies in reference quality 4K HDR with lossless Dolby Atmos and DTS-X audio, surpassing even 4K UHD discs in both convenience and quality by going beyond optical disc capacity and bit rate limits. In addition, Kaleidescape offers nearly 400 4K UHD titles not available on Blu-ray Disc. Kaleidescape's proprietary kOS operating system enables Terra 72 to provide the advanced content protection required by Hollywood motion picture studios for the highest-fidelity renditions of their movies.

Extremely reliable, the Terra 72 movie server stores high-fidelity movies on an array of enterprise-quality hard drives and is designed to continue operating even if a hard drive fails. When the failed drive is replaced, its movies are automatically restored from the cloud. In addition to storing movies, Terra 72 provides caching, staging, and computing services that improve player performance. The Terra is also available with either 24TB or the recently announced 48TB capacity, and multiple Terras can be combined for more storage.

The Kaleidescape Terra 72TB is priced at $23,995 MSRP and is available now.
