Kaleidescape, the maker of premium movie platforms and players for residential and marine markets, has been named to Fast Company’s fourth annual Next Big Things in Tech list, honoring emerging technology that has a profound impact for industries—from education and sustainability to robotics and artificial intelligence.
This year, 138 technologies developed by established companies, startups, or research teams are featured for their potential to revolutionize the lives of consumers, businesses, and society overall. While not all technologies are available in the market yet, each is reaching key milestones to have a proven impact in the next five years.
As the only digital provider of movies with lossless audio and full reference video, Kaleidescape provides customers with access to thousands of movies, TV series, and concerts for purchase or rent. Recently, Kaleidescape introduced Strato V, the next-generation movie player providing 4K Dolby Vision playback with lossless audio. Strato V works on its own or grouped with Terra Prime movie servers to enable scalability. Kaleidescape is also expanding into commercial cinema, as an alternative content delivery platform, bringing library releases back to the big screen.
“Kaleidescape continues to innovate by bringing to market products that evolve the cinema experience at home and beyond,” said Tayloe Stansbury, chairman & CEO of Kaleidescape. “Kaleidescape’s platform allows consumers to experience a vast array of content in the highest quality, as the director intended, enabling a movie theater-like experience in the home.”
Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company noted that “The Next Big Things in Tech” list provides a fascinating glimpse at near- and long-term technological breakthroughs across a variety of sectors. “Spanning everything from semiconductors to agricultural gene editing, the companies featured in this year’s list are tackling some of the world’s most pressing and vexing problems,” he said.
