Overview

Kaleidescape Terra Prime Mini 8TB Movie Server

Small. Silent. Fast. Powerful. Scalable.

The Kaleidescape Terra Prime Mini packs the performance of a serious movie server into a remarkably compact chassis. With 8TB of solid-state storage, room for approximately 130 high-bitrate 4K movies, and support for up to 25 simultaneous movie playbacks, it delivers the performance needed for both dedicated private cinemas and whole-home entertainment systems.

No spinning hard drives. No cooling fan. Just fast, silent access to your Kaleidescape movie collection.

Small. 8TB of Solid-State Storage.

Don't let the size fool you.

Terra Prime Mini provides 8TB of solid-state storage, enough for approximately 130 high-bitrate 4K movies, in a compact chassis that fits easily into a professionally designed entertainment system.

Keep your favorite films, new releases, and concert performances downloaded and ready to enjoy. Solid-state storage eliminates the mechanical operation of traditional hard drives, while the compact design makes Terra Prime Mini an excellent option when equipment space is limited.

Silent. Fanless by Design.

Terra Prime Mini uses convection cooling, meaning there is no fan and no fan noise.

This makes it particularly well suited for installations where equipment may be located near the viewing area. Whether it's a dedicated theater, media room, or discreet living-room system, Terra Prime Mini operates without introducing distracting cooling-fan noise.

Fast. Movies in as Little as 4 Minutes.

With 2.5-gigabit Ethernet connectivity, Terra Prime Mini can download movies in as little as four minutes under suitable network conditions.

Spend less time waiting and more time watching. Whether you're purchasing a new release or adding several films to your collection, high-speed downloads make building your Kaleidescape library easier.

Actual download times depend on your internet connection, network performance, and movie file size.

Powerful. Up to 25 Simultaneous Movie Playbacks.

Terra Prime Mini may be compact, but it's designed for much more than a single viewing room.

The server supports up to 25 simultaneous movie playbacks to compatible Kaleidescape players throughout your home.

Your dedicated theater, family media room, living room, and entertainment lounge can access the same centralized movie collection, with different movies playing in different rooms.

One movie library. Multiple entertainment spaces.

Scalable. Build Your System Around Your Home.

Start with a single private cinema and expand as your needs grow.

Terra Prime Mini allows you to add compatible Kaleidescape movie players for additional viewing rooms. Additional compatible servers can also be incorporated as your collection expands.

Whether you're designing a dedicated theater today or planning a complete whole-home entertainment system, Kaleidescape provides the flexibility to build around your needs.

Downloaded Movies. Exceptional Picture and Sound.

Kaleidescape takes a different approach from conventional streaming services.

Movies are downloaded to Terra Prime Mini and stored locally. When you're ready to watch, a compatible Kaleidescape Strato player accesses the movie over your home's network.

Because the movie is already downloaded, playback doesn't rely on maintaining a continuous internet stream or reducing picture quality to accommodate fluctuating internet bandwidth.

Kaleidescape's high-bitrate video and lossless audio are designed to take full advantage of premium home theater equipment.

When you've invested in a high-performance projector, surround processor, amplification, and loudspeakers, the quality of your movie source matters.

The Complete Kaleidescape Movie Library Experience

Pair Terra Prime Mini with a compatible Kaleidescape Strato movie player to unlock the full Kaleidescape movie-library experience.

Browse your collection using Kaleidescape's signature cover-art interface, explore titles through organized lists, and create custom collections.

Your movies are beautifully organized and ready whenever you want to watch.

With approximately 130 high-bitrate 4K movies stored on the server, Terra Prime Mini provides a substantial personal library in an incredibly compact package.

Designed for Premium Home Theater and Whole-Home Entertainment

Terra Prime Mini is equally at home in a dedicated private cinema or a larger residential entertainment system.

Its combination of compact dimensions, fanless operation, solid-state storage, and simultaneous playback capability makes it an excellent choice for custom installations.

Pair it with a compatible Kaleidescape Strato player, premium projection or television, and a properly calibrated surround sound system for a complete cinematic experience.

For larger homes, multiple players can access the same movie collection throughout the property.
