Kaleidescape introduced Terra Prime SSD 123TB

Kaleidescape, maker of the ultimate movie platform, today announced its largest capacity server – the new Terra Prime solid-state (SSD) 123 terabyte (TB) movie server.

“Kaleidescape’s new Terra Prime SSD 123TB is intended for massive movie collections in large multi-room installations,” said Tayloe Stansbury, chairman & CEO of Kaleidescape. “When combined with our new Strato V movie player, customers can unlock the full potential of the Kaleidescape platform with reference-quality 4K Dolby Vision playback and lossless audio.”

Kaleidescape’s SSD movie servers are fast, quiet, and energy efficient. With 2.5 gigabit Ethernet, they can download Kaleidescape 4K movies in as little as four minutes each and serve up to 25 simultaneous playback zones. They are ideal for state-of-the-art installations, yachts, and commercial theaters.

Kaleidescape’s SSD server line is now comprised of 123TB, 31TB, and 8TB models, that hold approximately 2,000, 500, or 125 Kaleidescape 4K movies, respectively. Up to four 123TB servers can be combined into a single system for a capacity of 492TB, enough to hold all the 4K and HD movies in the Kaleidescape movie store.

Kaleidescape is the world’s only digital movie provider with lossless audio and full reference video quality. Kaleidescape’s movie store offers thousands of 4K and HD titles, including movies, TV series, and concerts. Movies are available with lossless multichannel and object-based audio, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

Today streaming services are very popular, and their users enjoy the instant search and access which they provide. The leading streaming services encode 4K video at an average of around 8 Mbps, with a minimum recommended available speed of 15 Mbps. Making sure that the users can keep watching is a priority, so a lower quality may be the result of resolution adjusted to the available internet connection speed.

Kaleidescape’s 4K movies are encoded at an average of 65 Mbps; even higher than a physical 4K Blue-ray Disc! So, while streaming platforms provide content that’s highly compressed and can vary depending on internet bandwidth-at-sea, Kaleidescape movies are stored onboard your yacht and played through your local network for immediate and predictable enjoyment. Using the Kaleidescape Luxury Marine Movie Service for Private Yachts, content is purchased and factory-loaded in the US before it’s shipped to the yacht or integrator.

Furthermore, the Kaleidescape Disc-to-Digital program is also available for current and new customers to assist with transitioning their DVD and Blu-ray Disc collections to digital on Kaleidescape.

So, no internet, no problem!
