Two years after launching its iPhone remote , Kaleidescape has brought a brand new iPad app to CEDIA 2011 that offers owners of its media servers full control in their media from anywhere in the home. Users can browse their collections in line with various metadata, jump on to favorite scenes of stored movies, or control displays and audio in other rooms of the home. Also new for 2011 is support for 2.35 widescreen viewing with its CinemaScape feature, a software upgrade that may automatically process the video internally and reformats the UI besides. Check after the break for a fast demo of the iPad app that can launch later this year as a free add-on — assuming you may afford the hardware in fact.
Your Choice of Blu-ray Discs, DVDs and CDs at Your Fingertips
INDIANAPOLIS, IN; CEDIA EXPO – September 7, 2011 – Kaleidescape, Inc., the market leader in movie servers, today announced the Kaleidescape App for iPad, which introduces an outstanding new option to browse and choose movies and music on a Kaleidescape System using an iPad.
The free app offers the ease of browsing without interrupting playback, so that you can guide your guests in the course of the best moments on your collection. For one example, that you may filter instantly by actor, director, or genre, in order that while family and friends benefit from the famous Dead Parrot sketch, you could select another great John Cleese scene.
Or simply select any room to work out what’s playing or perhaps start another movie. “Using the iPad app, i’m able to see what the youngsters are watching regardless of where i’m in the house,” said Denise M., mother of 3 and Kaleidescape System owner.” i will even see how for much longer the movie will play, and when it’s over, i’m able to pick something else for them to observe.”
“I now not should be in front of the tv to totally control the system,” said David Daniels of Electronic Systems Consultants in Aspen, CO. “For some thing, i will be outside, by the pool, selecting music. And if i love what’s playing, i will easily reserve it to play it again later.”
“Indianapolis is a distinct place for Kaleidescape. It was here that we won the Electronic Lifestyles award for Best Video Product once we launched the Kaleidescape System eight years ago,” said Michael Malcolm, Founder, Chairman, and CEO. “We’re excited to be back here with our biggest lineup ever, especially our new Kaleidescape-designed iPad app that lives as much as our reputation for straightforward user interfaces.”
The Kaleidescape App for iPad may be available worldwide at the App Store late within the fourth quarter of this year.
