Overview
This document provides steps for:
Installing a Terra movie server.
Adding a Terra to a Strato system.
Creating a Strato system from a Terra server.
Kaleidescape Terra
The Kaleidescape Terra movie server was designed to store movies without
added compression or loss of quality. You can add Terra to any Strato
system to store movies downloaded from the Kaleidescape store and make
them available to every Strato and Alto player in the system. Terra makes it
possible to configure a Strato system with many players.
A Terra server will not connect to or add storage to a Premiere system.
You can purchase a full size, 2RU, Terra with four replaceable hard drives
or a half width, 1RU, Terra (compact) with a single internal hard drive.
Terra (full size) servers continue operating even after a hard drive fails. The
movies that were stored on the failed drive are automatically restored from
the Kaleidescape movie store. The failed hard drive can then be replaced in
the field to regain the lost capacity.
Terra (compact) contains a single hard drive that is not field replaceable.
Terra can deliver multiple movies at the same time over a standard
residential network to Strato and Alto players anywhere in the home. Once
a movie is downloaded and stored on Terra, it can be enjoyed immediately
from any of these players.
