# Ultra-Fast 4K Movie Servers Kaleidescape Announced the Launch of Home Cinema Platform 'Terra 12' By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2021-09-01 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaleidescape References: [thestreet](https://www.thestreet.com/press-releases/kaleidescape-announces-new-compact-movie-server-at-cedia-2021-15755226) & [kaleidescape](https://www.kaleidescape.com/) Kaleidescape, a Californian-based company, specializing in [home cinema technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awol-theater-3500x) and experiences, has announced the launch of the 'Terra 12,' a 12 terabyte movie server capable of downloading feature-length 4K films in as a little as 10 minutes on just one gigabyte of internet connection. The product was designed as an alternative to Kaleidescape's [larger 48 and 72 terabyte servers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kingston-dc3000me), providing users with similar download speeds and performance without committing to the more expensive models. In addition, this "entry-level" server is entirely scalable, meaning users can incrementally increase its storage as their film library grows. Just like Kaleidescape's larger, pricier units, the 'Terra 12' acts as the foundation of a multi-room 'Kaleidescape Strato' system. Therefore, it can support all 'Strato C' and deliver five different [4K Ultra HD playbacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dangbei-dbox02) at one time.
