Kaleidescape Announces Mini Terra Prime Movie Server

Kaleidescape has announced the availability of the new Mini Terra Prime movie server, the latest addition to the Terra Prime server line.

Mini Terra Prime is Kaleidescape’s most compact movie server, but it delivers a powerful punch: quick downloads, high-performance playback, and generous storage,” says Tayloe Stansbury, chairman and CEO, Kaleidescape. “It is the perfect complement for Kaleidescape M and E reference-quality movie players.

Mini Terra Prime features 8TB of internal solid-state storage, enough to store approximately 125 high-bitrate Kaleidescape 4K movies. Movies can be downloaded in as little as four minutes over a 2.5 gigabit Ethernet connection. Mini Terra Prime supports up to 25 simultaneous playbacks, with no loss of quality, scaling to the needs of the consumer, as explained by the maker.

Sized identically to Kaleidescape Strato M and E movie players, the new server features architectural-grade steel with a mosaic vent pattern for natural convection cooling. The absence of an internal fan results in silent operation, making it suitable for placement in any room. Mini Terra Prime can also be rack-mounted next to Strato M or E for a sleek look.

Kaleidescape movie files are usually ten times larger than streamer movies, preserving lossless audio and nearly lossless video quality from studio masters. Kaleidescape movies are downloaded and played from local storage to guarantee perfect playback every time.

Adding Terra Prime to a Strato V, E, or M standalone system unlocks the complete Kaleidescape user experience, including the list view and iconic cover shuffle view, which look and perform better with larger movie libraries. Up to four Terra movie servers can be grouped within a Kaleidescape system alongside any number of Strato movie players.

The move follows a series of other introductions from the manufacturer this year aimed at expanding the platform by including Kaleidescape performance in more compact, competitively priced products.
