@@enigmatwist6548 i guess you dont know how it works , when your bluray player dies you dont lose your movies , they are still on the shelf , when you KScape fails you lose your movies , they are not on your shelf

These look like amazing devices however HTPC owners have had this type of system for over 10 years now. You just had to rip your discs in a full bitrate format. They do have some cool features added like scene favorites, etc... unfortunately its just not cost effective for most people to buy one.
The intended customer is one that is not going to buy a uhd blu-Ray and put it on their server and play it back over a media player. Granted that’s a lot of work but it can save money if you want to do the labor. Kaleidoscope is great if that’s not your thing. Frankly I need a lot more storage than what kaleidoscope can provide as I’m up to 40 TBs on my mkv server and 15 TB on the iso server.
@@cbmore28 There is a middleway as i do, you buy the media, and download the remux (might be unlwaful depending on where you live). No work ripping the disks, and if you have the know how and good internet it is very smooth. And you can watch while you download.
2 easy reasons they won’t come down in price. 1. The expense it costs them for the studio masters. 2. They want to cater to the customers that can afford them and don’t care about the cost so they won’t try and crack the encryption.
the people who do the actual cracking, making the software not just running it, do it for the challenge and are also quite smart so they prolly have a job that pays them well enough to afford these. i would not be surprised if rips from these start becoming a thing if the quality increase if what is promised.
@@niklasxl One problem they have (probably studio agreement, and copyright laws) is that they are not available in Europe (afaik). And no media is lossless not even the movies they show in cinema. A complete raw 4k movie would eat up many many TBs.
@@christofferjonsson lossless compression by definition has enough entropy to perfectly recreate the uncompressed file it contains. but yes the bitrate of it is lowered when rendering it to enable it to fit the media format (bluray , dvd, streaming , theater), more so for for home releases compared to theater releases yes. Distributing a film in RAW would be dumb because there is a lot of redundant data frame to frame, think of a scene where the camera is stationary and only a actor is moving, most of the pixels here are the same frame to frame or change very little and this is what a lossless compression algorithm takes advantage of. you might be confused with lossy compression and the fact that studios have to intentionally decrease the bitrate to fit the current formats. But yes i also think that we need a format for deliverable files to be larger then now and being able to get the same files the theaters get would be nice but i guess the theaters dont want that at all to keep people going to the cinema.
@@christofferjonsson They were careful to say lossless audio... it's the same Dolby TrueHD or DTS Master Audio lossless compressed tracks that are on Blu-ray discs.
The video is very, very close to a Blu-ray disc unless something got horrendously botched on the disc mastering side of things (even KScape compression can sometimes show pixelation if their encoding wasn't QC'd well). 4k Blu-ray discs can have Dolby Vision, where KScape does not support DV. The lossless audio is EXACTLY the same as a Blu-ray disc, so YES there is something that can compete with KScape and costs less. If it's a badly done near-field soundtrack mix or audio encode on disc, the KScape version will have the same issues.
Very cool to see them release new hardware. I was hoping to see a new player with HDR10+/Dolby Vision support. I'm also hoping for a new entry level line that's more affordable, fingers crossed at some point.
They would probably have to pay more for a Dolby Vision mezzanine file and then go through and replace the HDR10 only files on their servers. That's one of the things that bug me on their pricing. 4k Blu-ray has more HDR features and it costs less. Then they would have to have a licensing agreement with Dolby Labs on new DV hardware.
@@Rebel6274 KScape is playing this game because they have decided to only go after the well healed clients who may not be tech savvy. The rich think things that are "affordable to the masses" must have something wrong with them.
I do not know what kind of spinning disks they are using and raid level, but 2.5G Ethernet maxes out at about 270 MB/s and that should spinning disks in good raid almost saturate. And in no way possible SSD disks can never make your Internet faster and affect download speed. Sure you can have 2.5 (not that common, more common with 10Gbit/s) but most people have 1 Gigabit/s max at home. And SSD disks really shines with small random read and write, to read or write one big file i would say it is not necessary. The only thing SSD would be better in this case, is for failure rate that is a lot more reliable then spinning disks. But a total waste of money for any capacity for what it does.
@@mephInc Yeah if i was designing something like this i would put the database and everything like thumbnail pictures and so on, on a small nvme drive with the os aswell. Lightning fast to load and startup, and fast gui and information/pictures. And you can get one small enough for 50$ that will kick any SSD sata drives ass. As i said a total waste, but people buying this do not care, and might not be in the know how.
@@christofferjonsson I could do that but I have several media players and one server. I'm honestly just to lazy to update all of them individually vs one list on the server.
Exactly what I came to say. I feel like they did this solely for marketing and higher steaming count. Most people aren’t using 25 TVs on 1 device, it’s just unnecessary for the added cost of going SSD.
I don’t mind playing the price for the player, but the storage is ridiculous. I can buy a 4tb m.2 SSD for like 300 bucks. They charge way to much for the storage capacity.
I’m not trying to simp for kscape but I’m pretty sure the Terra’s price is accounting for whatever hardware/software level DRM is in those things. You have to understand Warner Bros. letting people DOWNLOAD FULL LOSSLESS QUALITY movies to storage that’s inside your own home is probably very concerning for them. The security has to be top notch. I’m not justifying the price, I will never be able to afford these likely. Just trying to explain why I think it’s the price it is.
Nice product but way, way to expensive not to mention you have to pay to get your movie loaded on there. Sometimes you get a deal like five dollars for a download for your movie but other times you pay full price for a movie you already bought. To get this and a Trinove your paying over 40k. Yikes

I guess if you can afford this ecosystem, you don't really care if you lose your high dollar collection.
Waste of money for 20yr technology. Magic words: Cloud, Streaming/ for at least 5yrs now.
What a waste of money lmao. A fool and his money are soon parted, like all the rich people who don’t know how to DIY anything (their target market)
Who says rich people don’t know how to rip movies? The wealthy are willing to pay for things that simplify their life and save them time.
Gotta admit I mainly clicked to see how much hate there is in the comments 😂
There’s quite a lot of it.
@@Youthman Mainly because there is more than a little bit of marketing spin thrown into their spiel and massive over-pricing with the KScape hardware ecosystem.
Just came for the KSCAPE hater tears 😂😅
Terrible pricing!!! Their products are for rich people only. Shame on you Kaleidescape!!!
Shame on Ferrari, Trinnov, McIntosh, Rolex, Tiffany & Co., Bugatti and all other luxury brands. How dare they make products that are expensive.
@@Youthman absolutely! No question about that… but that’s not something I’m interested with, I just love my home cinema.
I guess I’ll just fail to understand how appropriate pricing only applies to things that we are interested in?
I remember how overpriced the Sony Betamax was, then VHS came in cheaper and dominated market share. VHS was not better, but the price point made it fly. Risky business to sell so high, unless your okay with small markets
@mikewright9547 i’m actually surprised that there hasn’t been a single company to enter the same space since they began in 2001.
