Supported Configurations
Strato C players must be used with a Terra movie server, or with a Strato player
that has internal movie storage.
There is no fixed limit on the number of Strato C players that can be grouped
with a Terra server or a Strato player with storage.
Up to ten Strato C players can play 4K movies simultaneously from a single
Terra server; up to 15 players can simultaneously play Blu-ray quality movies. A
Strato player with internal storage can only support a maximum of two
simultaneous movie playbacks (one on the player itself plus one being sent to a
remote player, or two remote playbacks).
A system that stores its movies on the internal storage of a Strato player is
suitable for installations where one or two movies will be played at the same
time in the household. Kaleidescape recommends that a larger system be
designed such that all of its storage is in the Terra servers (
i.e.
, using only Strato
C players), because Terra can support more simultaneous playback streams.
Gigabit Ethernet connections are required for all components. 100Base-T
Ethernet networks are not acceptable because of the bandwidth required for 4K
Ultra HD.
