    Halo Touch vs Non-Touch

    1. Still have to touch the screen 2. Very good after the latest firmware update providing it is not in deep sleep. Changing the setting for when to go into deep sleep to 3 hours works well for me. 3. Battery life is improved after the last update, but extending the time until it goes into...

    Halo Touch vs Non-Touch

    Custom buttons are also available on the Halo Tactile. There are the three buttons immediately below the screen whose labels appear on the bottom part of the screen. Other custom buttons created by the agent are also accessible by scrolling down on the Home Screen. That said, those are easier...

    Halo Touch vs Non-Touch

    Yes, now I mostly use YouTube TV as well and the Touch works great for that as well as for Kaleidescape.

    Halo Touch vs Non-Touch

    I have both the Touch and the Tactile Halo's. The Tactile is a good bit less expensive, and its actual numeric keypad works better if you have a cable box or satellite receiver that has direct numeric entry. The Touch has a keypad screen for those, but that is a little less handy for me. They...

    NEWS: Warner Bros 4K HDR Content Added!

    I am certainly pleased to see the Warner UHD titles added. Are there any plans to offer a UHD, but non-HDR version also as has been done with the Sony UHD titles? Neither my Sony 1100ES projector or Sony XBR-79X900B flat panel can do HDR but look great with 4K content. Thanks

    NEWS: New Strato-c Just Released

    Mike, will the Strato C also be able to access and play Blu-ray quality content stored on a network-connected Alto just as a regular Strato can? Thanks

    NEWS: 7.3 Released to dealer demo systems

    I am initiating my HDR downloads remotely as I am away from the house where we have our Kscape system. I got the message that my system didn't support HDR, but it gave me the option to download anyway and required me to acknowledge that I was aware it might not play or that I was planning on...

    NEWS: 7.3 Released to dealer demo systems

    Check again. I am looking at it right now and have just initiated two UHD HDR downloads of UHD titles I previously purchased.

    NEWS: 7.3 Released to dealer demo systems

    Jim, I saw elsewhere that one of the 10 titles being released for dealer access is "Rocky Mountain Express", but it was shown as not having an Atmos soundtrack. I have the UHD Blu-ray version of "Rocky Mountain Express", and it has one of the best Atmos soundtracks I have ever heard. If what I...

    Alto - Strato - Terra Questions

    I haven't tried a Blu-ray quality download in the past month as we have been traveling. I will try one soon and report back. Thanks for the quick response.

    Alto - Strato - Terra Questions

    Actually, that is not the case with my Alto and Strato in the same system. My Alto has space for at least one more Blu-ray quality movie, but none have been downloaded to it since I added my Strato. All downloads of any quality only go to the Strato. I previously shared this information with...

    NEWS: Update on release of kOS 7.2 and 7.3

    As olivierLA75 discovered, when you select the third option under Video settings, "Allow display mode changes (external scaler)", the UI is displayed in 4K if the default "use highest resolution (up to 2160p)" is chosen. Content is sent to the projector or scaler at its original resolution, but...

    kOS 7.2 released

    I am away from my house until Tuesday, so I have not yet had a chance to listen to something with lossless audio through my Strato yet. However, I previously had my Alto in the system where my Strato now is, and lossless audio (including Dolby Atmos) sounded great with it. I am expecting to be...

    kOS 7.2 released

    I called Kaleidescape Support this morning, and the gentleman with whom I spoke pushed the update to my Strato. He advised me to wait for at least an hour after he pushed it to allow time for the update to download to my system before rebooting it to initiate the update process on the Strato...

    kOS 7.2 released

    My Strato and Alto are still on 7.1.1. I assume this means the rollout of the update is being staggered.

    Dolby Atmos

    Thanks for the update, Mike. Are you still looking at a May 2016 software update for bitstream audio from the Strato?
