Leader in movie servers Kaleidescape is out with its own iPhone application, simplifying the movie-shopping experience for its customers. The free to download app scans a DVD or Blu-ray Disc UPC barcode, and then displays whether or not that title is on the owner’s Kaleidescape System, and if so, in what format. As a result, the frustration of buying a movie only to find out later that you already own it is (or should be) eliminated.
In addition, there is Kaleidescape Movie Guide that includes a brief synopsis and details on each movie such as director, cast, aspect ratio, running time and rating. There are more than 135,000 titles featured in the guide, including more than 4,000 Blu-ray Disc titles.
Commenting on the new app launch, Michael Malcolm (Kaleidescape founder, chairman and CEO) said: “This new app broadens the value of the rich information in our exclusive Movie Guide by making it available to our customers when they are shopping. It also extends the elegance and simplicity of the Kaleidescape experience beyond the home.”
