How many independent zones of movies and music can be played simultaneously with a Kaleidescape movie server?
A 1U or 3U Server can serve DVD movies or music to up to 45 zones simultaneously; and can serve Blu-ray movies to up to 5 zones simultaneously. A Kaleidescape System can serve enough movie and music zones for any practical purpose — even for the largest palaces and yachts in the world. The number of zones that can be played at the same time depends on the types of movies or music that are being played (e.g., Blu-ray vs. DVD), and on how many servers and disk cartridges are used. Each movie player can deliver either a movie or music to one zone. The Music Player can simultaneously serve up to four independent music zones. Kaleidescape engineers have demonstrated that an individual 1U or 3U Server has the ability to simultaneously deliver DVD movies and music to 45 independent zones, even if all of the movies and music are coming from the same disk cartridge. We expect that a properly designed and installed system with 12 servers can support as many as 200 simultaneous independent zones.
