The best streaming alternative to 4K Blu-rays just got a lot cheaper – and now supports Dolby Vision

Kaleidescape Strato V movie player.

Kaleidescape is well known for its high-specification movie players, devices that compete with the very best 4K Blu-ray players and best streaming devices. Its Terra Prime Solid State Movie Server may be the very best movie system you can buy, but it's also terrifyingly expensive at nearly $14K (around £11,000 / AU$21,000) for the server and movie player. If that's a little beyond your budget, the new Strato V Movie Player is more affordable. It's still a premium product but it's less than a third of the price.

The new player works as a standalone device as well as part of a wider Kaleidescape system, and it can store around 10 4K reference quality movies on its internal SSD. There's a new streamlined version of the firm's interface (see below), which we've previously praised; this version has been refined to make it more suitable for smaller libraries rather than entire movie servers. And it has Dolby Vision and lossless audio for a truly immersive home theater experience.
