Command Performance

Once your collection has been imported into your Kaleidescape System, the first thing you’ll notice is that everything happens immediately. No searching for DVDs or CDs, no fumbling with cases. No waiting for a mechanical changer. As you browse, your movies and albums appear onscreen – instantly.

Once you’ve made your selection, you simply press PLAY, sit back and enjoy.

When you play a movie, there are no DVD menus, no trailers, no advertisements. Start a movie, jump to an episode of a television series, or play a favorite scene. You can personalize your viewing experience by creating your own favorite scenes, and even linking them together to create a video montage.

In the mood for some music? A little soft rock or traditional country, or perhaps some Louis Armstrong. Just select the genre or the artist and press PLAY. You can also select the albums and songs you wish to hear, and quickly create your own Mix Album. While you’re listening, you can explore the reviews of albums and artists provided by Kaleidescape’s Music Guide.

The Kaleidescape Experience comes without compromise. All of your content is imported into your Kaleidescape System at the highest quality possible, with no compression, so your viewing and listening experience is exactly as the artists intended.


In addition to the Kaleidescape remote,

Kaleidescape provides the tools needed to

easily control your Kaleidescape System using

third-party touch panels.

Even young children enjoy finding and starting their own movies and music.

The Kaleidescape System also provides a number of automation cues that can be used by advanced control systems to automatically control lighting, set screen masking, move curtains, and make all the audio and video playback choices to optimize your entertainment experience.
