Kaleidescape Terra Prime Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

Kaleidescape Terra Prime 8TB SSD Movie Server

Mini Terra Prime is Kaleidescape’s compact, solid-state movie server built for reference-quality home cinema. It stores high-bitrate movies, TV series, and concerts downloaded from the Kaleidescape Movie Store, then serves them over your network to Strato movie players for instant, full-fidelity playback from local storage (not dependent on internet performance during viewing). With 8TB of SSD storage (about 125 4K movies) and fast 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet support, Mini Terra Prime can download a 4K movie in as little as 4 minutes and deliver up to 25 simultaneous playbacks without sacrificing performance. It’s also designed for discreet installations: convection-cooled with no fan for silent operation, and sized to tuck behind a TV or sit cleanly on a shelf. For larger libraries or multi-room systems, you can scale by adding more players and grouping up to four servers in a single Kaleidescape system.

What It's Good At:

• Delivers reference-quality, high-bitrate movie playback from local SSD storage for consistent performance

• Rapid downloads over 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (as little as 4 minutes per 4K movie)
