It appears that the new Kaleidescape Blu-Ray changer acts more as a 'vault' than as a disc changer.
So in short:
- yes, the BR disc needs to in the changer
- no, it is not accessed anymore after the initial import
Not too bad IMHO. Ok I see, so if the Blu-ray disc is physically in this "vault" you are allowed to access the "ripped" version of it from the NAS. I will be interesting to see how this “vault” mechanically stores the discs; storage density (number of discs) should be paramount, access time to store/retrieve each disc is not so important.

Possibly not too dissimilar to the Loader that Sooloos have on some of their Brochures To address the concerns of the studios, Kaleidescape requires the disc to be present when playing Blu-ray content from the server. Today this means the Blu-ray Disc must be in the tray of an M500 Player. To enable the full Kaleidescape experience for Blu-ray, the company is developing a disc loader which will keep a large number of discs present within the Kaleidescape system. It will also provide bulk import, and make it easy to find and retrieve a disc. FWIW, Sony already sell a 400 Disc Bluray Changer, which may provide many of the same functionality. At $700 versus Kaleidescope's likely $10,000+, not much of a discussion
