Approved by all Hollywood studios and major TV broadcasters, the Encryptonite ONE System succeeds in "Enabling Entertainment Everywhere!™" of secure ubiquitous content on current and future media devices while offering IPTV service providers the lowest cost of operation. Its unique design requires minimal incremental bandwidth and features an ultra-light, processor- efficient client that can be deployed on virtually any consumer media appliance.

Now, the Encryptonite ONE System Release 2 has raised the bar on protecting converged media distribution, offering even greater levels of flexibility, implementation and control. New and exclusive platform extensions allow for selectable digital forensics, rapid middleware integration and configurable security parameters for diverse quality content. With the same assurance of offering customers the most experienced security platform available for quality media entertainment.
