    New Drawing for Members

    Amazing generosity, Jim. I will see if I can get to $1000 before midnight 2023Dec31. At first blush, I figured I was nowhere near that. I just added up my purchases in the specified time frame. Turns out I am closer than I thought I might be already. Funny how that happens! :D

    What server size to buy?

    I think there's an angle that hasn't been mentioned. Get the largest chassis you are comfortable buying now, secure in the knowledge that you can aggregate them. So if you start with a 6TB, and then next year you get a 22TB, then you'd have 28TB! And so on and so on. Maybe @MikeKobb can...

    HDR issues with my Kaleidescape and Anthem AVM90

    Yep, Brent is THE MAN. The info you mention here is critical, with the multiple displays. Many pained HDMI experiences have burned that into my brain.

    HDR issues with my Kaleidescape and Anthem AVM90

    I am glad to hear Brent with Ethereal was able to help you. If you want to support them for that effort, you might try their DPL Labs certified cables. For runs under 5m, I use MHX in my installations, unless the thickness isn't workable, then I use the MHY versions. For longer runs, like it...

    Kscape System Specs

    That's cool info. It stands to reason the 1U might be the same specs, but I'd be curious to find out.

    SOLD: Alto 6TB for sale

    Yes, I am so sorry I didn't update. This was completed just hours after I listed it. @cinelife can remove the listing, or I will edit to reflect current status. I do have a Strato 10TB if you're interested, which I'll be listing shortly, but haven't put it together yet with pictures and stuff.

    SOLD: Alto 6TB for sale

    SOLD on 2022May23. This listing is for a 6TB Kaleidescape Alto movie player. The sale includes the Alto, the power supply, and the power cord. It works perfectly. I have used it as a showroom demo unit in my secondary room so it doesn't see much activity. I am pricing at $2200 shipped based...

    1U power supply replacement (maybe)

    At least on Amazon, it looks like the 250W version is no longer available, but there is a 300W version which seems to be in the same case, so that might work.

    What control system do you recommend? Control4 vs Savant or Creston?

    I think your plan for an Apple TV (personally I'd do Roku Ultra for its superior control integration) for each child and parents is a great idea. As someone mentioned, you can allow the choice of streaming client per user to happen in every video zone because of the centrally distributed video...
