NEWS: Strato K Movie Player with 8K capability and new "4K Cinematic" full-chroma & higher bitrate support

I agree - adding such a device into the chain can improve stability of the chain as it refreshes and amplifies the signal.
Any experience with the 1X 4 version of the AV Pro Edge pieces. the 1X 2?

Thank you very much

I have had both the 1x4 and 1x2 in my system, including the current 48Gbps models and the prior 40Gbps ones (which can sometimes be found on eBay for cheaper). In fact, I just added an AVPro 8K 4x4 matrix in order to simplify things. AVPro Edge stuff is excellent. By bypassing my Lumagen with the audio signal, which now goes straight to my Arcam, I have no audio dropouts. There are still some short-lived handshake issues, but I have come to accept that those are present with anything HDMI. The AVPro Edge also has easy to use EDID, so you can use them if you have specific problems. They are much simpler than HDFury products, but do seem to amplify the signal quite well.

When I replaced my NX5 with an NZ500, I could not get the video to work. I was using an HDFury Vertex2 as the last device in the chain prior to the PJ (as I needed something to split the signal between the PJ and a TV), and with the NX5 it was fine. However, I had nothing but problems with the NZ500. Of course, everyone blamed the cable running to the PJ (Celerity's newest model), but it had worked fine before. So, I replaced the Vertex2 with the AVPro Edge distribution amplifier (splitter), and have had no problems since.

If it´s just the K you´re having issues with, you can also try such a device to refresh the signal:
48Gbps EDID Manager
It turns out, according to Trinnov, that the video board that they installed is limited to 40 Gbps. That may or may not explain the problem. I explained to both the Trinnov and Kaleidescape tech support people is that the issue is with the video wall OSD, not the actual movies. Those look great and I don't want to compromise that. I'm waiting to hear if there is a way to downgrade the video wall OSD that doesn't compromise the cinematic presentation versions, which was the whole point of upgrading to the Strato K in the first place. I tried sequentially reducing the Video OSD frequency refresh rate, but that didn't help.
 
I'd bet that a large percentage of Trinnov owners also have a Kaleidescape system. I wonder if any other Trinnov owners have reported any problems. Meanwhile, it's been crickets from both Trinnov and Kaleidescape tech support. My Trinnov dealer told me to wait for any answers after CEDIA ends. Patience is not one of my virtues. I did order the AV Pro 48 Gbps EDID manager to give it a try while I'm waiting.
 
Is it me or has Mission: Impossible 8 disappeared from the UK Film Store. Interestingly I was able to delete it from my Terra Server and re-download it in 4K Cinematic.
My felling of the Strato K is that it is more of a doorway rather than a window.

Has definitely "disappeared". Strange one.
 
Received my Strato K yesterday.

I found the UI nauseating. With no options to customize it, I am bailing on this system. I've listed my player on AVS forum.
 
What were you wanting to modify?
The popup that appears if you rest on a movie for a half second.
No way to see how far you are into a movie (e.g. when you pause)
No (easy?) way to jump through (or to) chapters
Having to use my phone and swipe swipe swipe

At first I couldn't believe that subtitles were displaying below my scope screen, but eventually I found the settings page (which wasn't intuitive) and remedied this.

Get the remote for it, it’s cheap. Maybe I’m one of the few, I hate using my phone as a remote
