Setup needs to be carried out over a home network via Kaleidescape’s Web interface. Disc importing takes roughly an hour for Blu-ray, and 25 minutes for standard DVDs. And you can plan on chewing up tons of storage capacity with Blu-ray titles: According to the company, an average Blu-ray disc eats up about 37 gigabytes. The only differences are that the Kaleidescape logo has been slightlychanged, and a single USB jack (currently not used) has been added to the back.ĭue to bandwidth intensity - up to 54 megabits per Blu-ray stream - Kaleidescape “strongly recommends” a Gigabit network. The M500 doesn’t look much different than Kaleidescape’s previous 1080p player. My review system included a 1U server with 6 Terabytes of storage ($11,230), the new M500 Blu-ray player ($3,995), and an old Mini Player (which I requested for comparison). I only had to plug in power and Ethernet cables and run an HDMI link to my surround sound processor. Kaleidescape greatly simplified installation for me by sending a fully racked, pre-built system. (No, they are not 3D-capable.) After years of waiting for Kaleidescape to support Blu-ray, I was eager to check one out. The new Profile 2.0 players are fully compatible with all of the company’s existing systems.

The company recently launched two new M-class players, the M500 and M300, which are capable of playing Blu-ray content and importing it to Kaleidescape servers. (If you aren’t familiar with Kaleidescape, here is a review of its Mini System and another of its 1080p Movie Player.) This is the fifth time I’ve had one of its systems in for review, and I must say, the company’s products just keep getting better and better.
