Kaleidescape offers the convenience of streaming coupled with higher-fidelity source material for the ultimate home theater experience.
As the investment in your home theater space grows and grows and you continue to upgrade performance, at some point, you want to think about the quality of the content you're feeding it. After all, you don't buy a Ferrari and fill it up with 87 octane ethanol blend. You want high octane content to make the most of your equipment, and the Kaleidescape movie player system fits the bill.
This is no ordinary streaming box - it's not a streaming box at all. The Kaleidescape System offers all the convenience of streaming, with a few key differences:
- The content is not streamed, it's downloaded to a Kaleidescape server connected to your home network
- Because it doesn't need to stream smoothly via the internet, the files are much larger, and MUCH higher quality
- It connects exclusively to the Kaleidescape Store, which offers pre-order, purchase and rental of over 13,000 titles and growing
