What is the disc vault for Blu-ray Discs?
Kaleidescape requires the disc to be present when playing Blu-ray content because that’s one of the ways we can fully comply with the copy control agreements we have signed. Today this means the Blu-ray Disc must be in the tray of an M500 Player. Kaleidescape is developing two disc-vault solutions to enable Blu-ray movies to be played without having to touch a disc: (1) the Modular Disc Vault based on a third-party mechanism, and (2) the Integrated Disc Vault designed and developed entirely by Kaleidescape. Either disc vault can be used to import Blu-ray Discs and verify that they are present. The Integrated Disc Vault can also be used to import CDs and DVDs. Neither vault can play discs directly. When your Blu-ray Discs are stored in a vault, playback of a Blu-ray movie from any M-Class player works just like the playback of a DVD movie; the physical disc itself is not read or even accessed upon playback because its contents are played from a copy located on a Kaleidescape server.
