    Setup help with Co-star switch

    Some screen grabs. It seems there’s a component that can’t connect to Kaleidescape’s servers. Not sure what the component is as it doesn’t display a name or serial number. I’m assuming it’s the Strato? Everything is definitely connected to a working internet connection.

    Setup help with Co-star switch

    Yes, we established a few days ago that I have two email logins for the store but we now know which one relates to the John Wick purchase. We also discovered that Kaleidescape have my Strato & Premier systems set up on two different accounts with slightly different addresses. We have spoken to...

    Setup help with Co-star switch

    Back again! I’m attempting to pair, all the components are listed (3U, M500, M700, DV700) but it keeps saying the two systems are not registered to the same contact. How do I check/correct this before proceeding? Incidentally, the M700 is going to the Co-Star, the M500 straight to my AV...

    Setup help with Co-star switch

    I’m not too concerned about the M500 as it gets little (if any) use these days. All the discs go through the vaults. So if I connect the Strato and the M700 to the Co-Star, what happens to the DV700? For blu ray films that have been recorded to the 3U, I thought the system had to confirm the...

    So I can’t connect all three premier components at once then? I can only choose one?

    Setup help with Co-star switch

    I’ve have the following components in my system: Strato M500 3U M700 DV700 Sorry if this has been asked before but I’m a bit late to the party with the Co-Star device. How do you connect all this together with the Co-Star? The guide on Kaleidescape’s website doesn’t seem to mention the disc...

    New Kaleidescape Solution to Meld Physical Discs with Strato 4K Movie Player

    If you don't mind me continuing this line of questioning, my setup is as follows: Strato 3U Server M500 Player M700 Vault DV700 Vault At present, I'm not using the Strato at all because it means I can't play Blu-ray content stored on the 3U. So how would this switch work with my system if at...

    New Kaleidescape Solution to Meld Physical Discs with Strato 4K Movie Player

    When time allows perhaps Jim could explain exactly what the switch will do? For example, will it allow a Strato to play Blu-ray recordings from a 3U server or will it only allow you to play a physical disk stored in a vault?

    Problem with 3U

    Hello there, I went to switch on my K system yesterday but on powering up the 3U, it made an intermittent bleeping noise and none of the HDD lights came on for any of the individual drives. I've got two vaults and a M500 connected as well but they remained in standby mode (orange lights on the...

    What's Your AV Setup?

    Very happy with it. It's been replaced by the 550ES now but the only difference is a higher contrast ratio: 520 - 300,000:1 550 - 350,000:1 Apart from that, both machines are identical. I don't place a lot of importance on contrast ratio because it depends on the viewing conditions in the...

    Is 4k at home worth it?

    In addition to a Strato unit, I have the following 4K equipment as part of my setup: Panasonic DMP-UB900 UHD Blu Ray player Sony VPL-VW520ES 4K HDR Projector I have to be honest and say that of the 4K discs I've sampled so far, I've been a tad disappointed with the 4K quality. 'The Martian'...

    3U HDDs lose storage space when mixed with other capacity's?

    Great. Thank you very much for the explanation. I'm assuming that any further 6TB drives added would offer the full 6TB capacity as two of the three recent additions are now the hot spare and parity drives?

    3U HDDs lose storage space when mixed with other capacity's?

    My 3U server is two thirds populated with 4TB drives. My supplier can't get any more 4TB drives do I've ended up buying three 6TB drives instead. He tells me that when mixing drives of different capacities, the the first 2TB of the first two new drives is lost to 'the system' so instead of...
