Kaleidescape has announced the new Mini Terra Prime movie server, the latest addition to the Terra Prime server line.
As Kaleidescape’s most compact movie server, the Mini Terra Prime delivers fast downloads, high performance playback, and ample storage. “It is the perfect complement for Kaleidescape M and E reference-quality movie players,” explains Tayloe Stansbury, Chairman and CEO, Kaleidescape.
Mini Terra Prime features 8TB internal solid-state storage, enough to store approximately 125 high-bitrate Kaleidescape 4K movies. Movies download in as little as four minutes over a 2.5 gigabit Ethernet connection. It supports up to 25 simultaneous playbacks, with no loss in quality, scaling to the needs of the consumer.
Sized identically to Kaleidescape Strato M and E movie players, Mini Terra Prime features architectural-grade steel with a mosaic vent pattern for natural convection cooling. The absence of an internal fan results in silent operation, perfect 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 typically 10 times larger than streamer movies because they retain lossless audio and near lossless video fidelity from studio masters. Kaleidescape movies are downloaded and played back from local storage, to ensure perfect playback every time.
Adding Terra Prime to a Strato V, E, or M standalone system unlocks the full Kaleidescape user experience, including the list view and cover shuffle view, which look and work better with larger movie libraries. Up to four Terra movie servers can be grouped in a Kaleidescape system with any number of Strato movie players.
Mini Terra Prime is available now through authorized Kaleidescape dealers, selling for an MAP of $8,395 in Canada. Read our review of the Strato V.
