Kaleidescape Adds 96TB and 72TB Storage Options to Its Terra Prime Movie Servers

Store up to 1,600 4K movies on Kaleidescape’s new Terra Prime movie servers with up to 96TB capacity.

Kaleidescape Terra Prime 96TB Movie Server

For those who love cinema and access to the best available version of their favourite films, it is very hard to find a better option than the movie players and movie servers offered by Kaleidescape. That level of access and performance comes with a rather steep price but you would be hard pressed to find an ultra high-performance dedicated home theater that doesn’t use one of their products.

We have first hand experience with their products and all of us would own one of their movie servers and players if our budgets stretched that far. Products like the new 96TB and 72TB versions of the Terra Prime movie servers are designed for movie collectors like EIC Ian White who owns close to 4,000 films on DVD, Blu-ray and UHD 4K Blu-ray.

The Kaleidescape system offers several movie server and player products that work in conjunction with an online store where you can rent or purchase movies (prices vary) in DVD, Blu-ray, or UHD Blu-ray video quality (including HDR), along with access to advanced audio (Dolby Atmos/DTS:X) and access to all the special features you might find on a disc version.

Kaleidescape also offers a Disc-to-Digital program, to assist customers with transitioning their DVD and Blu-ray disc collections to digital on Kaleidescape. This provides an opportunity for disc collectors to enjoy the benefits of the Kaleidescape ecosystem without having to repurchase every movie at full price.  

New Terra Prime Movie Servers

To further solidify its Terra Prime series, Kaleidescape has announced its largest server so far, the Terra Prime 96TB. Parallel to that announcement the company is also offering up a new Terra Prime 72TB movie server. The Terra Prime 96TB and 72TB servers replace the current 88TB server.

Tip: The Terra Prime 72TB server is an upgrade from the previous Terra 72TB server.

Core features of the Kaleidescape Terra Prime Movie Server product line include:

  • All-new board design, faster processing power, and a faster network.
  • 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
  • Enterprise-class hard disk drives
