    Delete lower res movies

    Over the last years, have upgraded lots of movies to 4K. Want to sweep the lesser resolutions off of my various hard drives. Doing it one by one is a pain. Need something to do this a lot easier. Thanks.

    Volume control Apple Watch

    OK, this is stretching it a bit! We use our Apple watches to control play/pause as a bi-product of the IOS app. I also have the volume control in the app with integration with our system. Now, can I use the crown of my watch to control the volume? Low priority lol. SJ

    Kaleidescape as a service?

    Could K ever move to a service? Say you pay $100 a month and access/download anything you want? Assume the studios would forbid this, but they could provide a constant cash flow.

    Kaleidescape 2022 CEDIA Script

    This was from the demo theater that K participated in with Trinnov, McIntosh, etc. Was surprised that the tent scene was not in the 4K Movie from the store. I added it, but K should add it permanently to the movie!

    Strato C a bit hot?

    Swapped my older Strato 6GB for a Strato C in our theater. The unit always seems to be hot even when in standby. It’s well within the green range in temp in the web GUI, but why is it even barely on when in standby? There is no storage. Should just have enough going on to power on via IP and...

    Spears & Munsil UHD HDR Benchmark

    I know K normally deals with major studios, but it would be great if this was offered for sale on the store. Has this ever been considered? Seems like they would get a new stream of revenue as there are many folks that no longer use discs and would use the Strato for the best results. Maybe a...

    D2D Program

    Heard a lot of people wanting to get K but would like to get D2D pricing for the discs they own. Current process is to get something like an Alto and catalog their discs. Many years back Vudu (or Ultraviolet), had a PC/Mac application that would allow you to get D2D pricing. You would feed in...

    2.2 Aspect Ratio

    Not sure how many K movies use this aspect ratio, but had to make some changes for my setup to handle. Normally, for 2.4 aspect ratio movies, my system (which reads the K control information to know the movie is 2.4) lowers the image to the bottom of my 16:9 screen and lowers top masking...

    Mulan

    Guess we will be purchasing Mulan to watch this week streaming on Disney+. Will also purchase when it becomes available at the K store. We would have gone to the theaters for this movie, and really will actually be less expensive and a better experience than our local cinema. I know the wine...

    Subtitles across scenes in a script

    Would like the ability to turn on subtitles and have them stick across an entire script. Thanks. SJ

    Home Router Recomendations

    We have a fairly large home network (80+ devices mostly wired). I use several Dell business class switches across parts of our home. Any recommendation on routers? I would not necessarly need wireless as this is handled with separate access point setup. Ideally the router would have QOS for...

    Lip Sync test material

    Would be great if K could add lip sync test material (4K24 and 4K60) the way they now have picture tests for download. SJ

    K Control Protocol Audio Request

    The Kaleidescape System control protocol is really good. Example, my control system knows when a 4K HDR movie is playing and can reconfigure my system accordingly (e.g. switch my projector to a different setting) and then switch back for menus (or SDR movies, etc.). This is because the control...

    Marantz Strato Dolby Atmos

    We have a Marantz 8805 in our family room zone connected to a Sony OLED. I had two HDMI outputs running from the Marantz to the TV. One Arc and another normal. I really ended up not using the second, but it was still connected. Most of the time when playing a 4K Dolby Atmos movie, I could not...

    What’s up with subtitles?

    We often watch movies with subtitles in our family room area (vs. theater). I’ve noticed so many movies that skip sentences, etc. never consistent. What’s up with this? We have an Encore system. Thanks. SJ

    Difficulty Reading Movie meaning?

    Seen this a few times and just wondered exactly what it means? I always thought it was a network related issue (eg. Strato playing from a Terra), but recently was doing some work in our system and accidentally pulled the network cable from a switch that connects a Strato with our network, the...

    Encore firmware update today to 10.4.1

    Anything new in this? I was on the beta for the iPhone app, so maybe this was the general release? SJ

    Deadpool 2 extras

    The extras are listed in the store, but can’t seem to find them on the 4K or HD versions that I downloaded when released. Was this added? I will delete the HD version and try redownloading. I see there is now a super duper cut download that didn’t download when the movie was released. Maybe...
