VCR Encryption System

- Video encryption system uses line 'cut and rotate' encoding to provide secure encryption of colour/monochrome baseband video signals with a high level of image obscurity and decoded image quality.

- Is optimised for use with radio/microwave link equipment in surveillance and security applications. It provides near instantaneous lock-in/decoding, and is hardened against link distortions and disruption. It provides reliable, secure operation and a high quality video image in the most demanding of conditions.

- Automatically detects PAL/SECAM or NTSC video and configures itself accordingly, maintaining a fully compatible signal for operation over any video distribution medium. It provides an automatic gain function that compensates for link signal level variation, maintaining image quality.

- Uses a secure over air data channel in the vertical blanking interval to provide system status, telemetry and synchronisation information. The encryption systems prevent analysis of the coding sequences by analysis of the video signal or the over air data. Only authorised decoders having the same key sets as the encoder can decipher the scrambled video.

- Allows a 256bit user key to be programmed by an IBM-PC serial interface. 8-bits of user key can be set on DIP switches. The primary security keys and the encryption chip-set cannot be read or copied.

- Provides video loop-through during power loss and the decoder will go into clear mode if it detects that the video is not a valid encrypted signal. This ensures that the video feed is never disrupted by power loss or other failures. The decoder provides optional indication of correct operation with a small on-screen flashing square.

- Provides 8 bits of status lines/telemetry signals available on an optional D-type connector. Any input to the encoder is mirrored in the decoder. Encoder and decoder units are identical having a single switch to identify the function, potentially simplifying procurement, installation and servicing.

- Provides an on screen display option to display decoder status, system ID, time and date and telemetry status. All text is user definable and may be set via the RS232 interface.

- Is compact, rugged and has low power consumption. It operates under a wide supply voltage, is IP65 environmentally sealed, EMC compliant and operates in an extended temperature range.
