Home Theater United Podcast

Brett Bjorkquist, Senior Manager, Dealer Engagement, Kaleidescape joins us to discuss Kaleidescape, known for a hardware/software solution that brings full resolution audio and video movies to the home.

• A brief introduction to Kaleidescape.

• How do you measure the quality differences between Kaleidescape vs UHD disks, Blurays, and 4K streams?

• How do you see the different tiers of hardware breaking down by consumer? 

• Your software gets great user reaction, what’s the latest on that? Any chance of a software only solution?

• Who do you see as the typical Kaleidescape consumer?

• What would you consider a minimum necessary home theater to get the most out of a Kaleidescape system? 

• Are all studios on board?  What about independents / Criterion?
• What’s on your roadmap for improvements to the system?

• The elephant in the room: Price.  Is price a driving concern for you?  Is there a big enough market for this service at this price?  Is this price sustainable in a streaming first / subscription based world?

• There’s no ties to Movies Anywhere or any other storefront right?  Is that something you’d consider?

• Is Apple’s effort to bring lossless audio to music a concern?  If they go full lossless quality on audio in movies what then?

• What audio and video formats does Kaleidescape support? 

• What is your own theater like?  

• What do you wish people understood about Kaleidescape better?  What would make using the system even better in their homes?
