Applications

The Kaleidescape Movie Player 2 was designed for high-end residential and commercial home theater installations built around the Kaleidescape distributed media system. In a Kaleidescape deployment, Movie Player units are placed at each display location — typically in a rack — and stream content from a central Kaleidescape Server over the network, allowing multiple zones to access a shared movie and music library. The HDMI and component video outputs make the KPLAYER-5000 compatible with high-definition displays and projectors of its era. The RS-232 and TCP/IP control interfaces allow integration with third-party whole-home automation and control systems such as Crestron, AMX, or Control4. These units are sought by Kaleidescape system owners for spare parts, repair, or system expansion, as well as by AV technicians servicing legacy Kaleidescape installations.
