- video encryption system uses 'Line-shear' techniques to provide secure encryption of colour/monochrome video recordings with a high level of image obscurity and decoded image quality.

- optimised for use with VCR video tape recorders in sensitive security and video distribution applications. It is hardened against VCR dropout and distortions. It provides reliable, secure operation and a high quality decoded video image.

- Available in PAL/SECAM or NTSC video versions. Each unit may operates as either an encoder or decoder and is switch selectable.

- Provides a smart card system that may be configured by the user via a serial interface connected to an IBM PC. The smart card contains coding information that prevents decoding by any other unit not configured in an identical manner. Tapelock may optionally be used without the smart card at a reduced security level.

- Provides 4 levels of security key coding. All these keys and coding systems must match for the decoder to be able to decode an encoded tape. 1: The primary keys are unique to each group of users and are burned into the hardware. These keys are factory set and are different for all groups of users. 2: The 256-bit user keys may be programmed by the user via the serial interface. 3: The 8-bit Dip switch code may be set via combinations of switches within the unit. 4: The smart card coding system configured via the serial interface.

- Provides features to aid in system setup, fault diagnostics and system confidence. Video is passed through during power loss. The decoder will go into clear mode if it detects that the video is not a valid encrypted signal. The decoder provides optional indication of correct operation with a small on screen flashing square. A flashing RED/GREEN indicator gives operational information.

- Compact, rugged and has low power consumption.
