    "The Abyss" in 4K

    Thanks for reporting your findings. I always thought the Blu-Ray of Aliens looked phenomenal, and I love the very gritty, grainy look for that film which suits it well. I suspected and feared the 4K version would lose those characteristics, and it sounds like it sadly has.

    Proper way to power off a K5000 Premiere Server?

    Fascinating. Thank you for the explanation!

    Proper way to power off a K5000 Premiere Server?

    Thank you. It seems odd that this wouldn't cause data corruption in some way, while the server might be writing data as you hit the off switch, but thanks for your input.

    Proper way to power off a K5000 Premiere Server?

    This might seem like a silly question, but I want to move my K5000 to a different rack, but I don't know how to gracefully shut down the server. Is this even possible? I only see an option to reboot it in the web interface. I suppose I could simply unplug it, but as it's in the middle of...

    Apocalypse Now 4k

    You also get the "Hearts of Darkness" documentary with the 4K Blu-Ray release which is missing as an extra from the Kaleidescape release. That's a huge omission, sadly.

    Apocalypse Now 4k

    Same thing is happening with Godfather 3. The newest "Coda" cut is on the store, but not the other 2 cuts. Those are only on the disc version. Such a shame, really, considering how Kaleidescape used to go to extra lengths to match the Blu-Ray disc releases extras.

    Sort by price?

    This lack of price sorting gives off the impression they don't think their customers are price sensitive and will pay "whatever."

    Expanding Strato storage with another zone?

    Great option. Thanks Mike. More expensive but more future-proof for sure. The bundle discount helps.

    Expanding Strato storage with another zone?

    Amazing feedback. Thanks guys! Drhemi, my Premiere server is a 3U.

    Expanding Strato storage with another zone?

    Thanks for the response! That's great news. If I use the co-star with a premiere player in both zones, all of my premiere BR/DVD content will be accessible through the Strato interface as well?

    Expanding Strato storage with another zone?

    I've run out of storage on my Strato in my theatre. To expand my storage, I was thinking of adding another 12TB Strato to my living room instead of adding a Terra to my theatre setup. Will this do the trick and share the storage space between both Stratos? To further complicate this, my...

    M300 HDMI CEC Support?

    Hi, Does the M300 support HDMI CEC so I can use one remote to control everything and have the TV turn on with the player, etc? Thanks, Ryan

    US BR Released for September & October 2017

    I don't understand why so many catalog 4K UHD Blu-Ray movies aren't being released on Kaleidescape. I just had to go out and purchase The Mummy ('99), The Mummy Returns, E.T., and Blade Runner on disc because they're nowhere to be found on Kaleidescape. What's going on?
