This 'Integrated Disc Vault' will be a whopping 5U high. Work is also underway on a combined M300-class player and 320-disc carousel, which could be on sale later this year. Kaleidescape acknowledges this, explaining that the vault was essentially a bought-in solution intended to speed up the readying of its systems for Blu-ray. It needs to be tucked away out of sight, for it is almost guaranteed to clash with the plush furnishings of the room in which this sort of system will be installed. Stylewise, the vault couldn't be more at odds with the sleek-looking Kaleidescape player if it tried.

Unfortunately, the vault is rather ugly sporting a black trunk with a blue LED display. And it's perhaps just as well that it's so quiet.Īs the vault is connected to one of the players – rather than the server – it will, by definition, be located in one of the rooms where movies and CDs are required. Mercifully, there's no clunking from the vault when a Blu-ray is selected for playback indeed, the only time there's any vault activity is when the disc is loaded (or being imported).

You cannot play a previously imported Blu-ray if the physical disc is not present – its entry in the various movie lists is greyed out.

Any Blu-ray disc that has been imported onto the server has to subsequently be loaded into this vault, which is connected to one of the players via a USB.
