Company history begins on March 10, 1992.

The first system of address encryption (Antratsit, Lugansk region, Ukraine) was put into the service by "Crypton" on "Antel" TV-company's channels. The line groups' inversion was laid in the principle of encryption. Inverse lines were randomly moved. The subscriber decoder in spite of its simplicity and cheapness was able to determine the inverse lines arrangement in the following frame. In order to increase a restored image quality, the decoder had included a measuring circuit and nonlinearity correction of the whole path. Encryptic protection of a high level, good quality of the restored signal and a low price of studio and subscriber equipment had ascertained success of a project and brought a good profit to the company.

Emergence of low-cost single-chip microcontrollers by Microchip allowed us to bring a new technical solution to the protection of analog TV-signals against unauthorized use. This solution provided a basis for "Crypton" - an analog system of address encryption«Crypton».

1997

Subscribers' decoders DV-01, DRA-01 and coder K-303 were released in 1997., . Encryption was done without digital processing but in spite of that our subscribers' devices were able to support a full encryption of an advanced encryptic protection with a TV-signal's digital processing. MITRIS project with "Crypton" encryption was launched in Lugansk.

The COD500 series coder with a digital processing of the TV-signals was released in 2001. Built-in frame synchronizer allowed us to provide a TV-signal's grouped encryption in MMDS by aid of group decoder DGR-01 .

The COD-506 series coder with a digital processing of the TV-signals. The COD-506 series coder was equipped with improved characteristics and added with input TV-signals commutation without any desynchronization. Subscriber decoder DRA-03 for broadband cable networks was released in 2003. Using of digital technologies for TV-signal's processing during encryption provided us encryptic protection of a high level. This ensured that "Crypton" system became the most widespread one on the territory of former USSR and is now used by operators in Russia, Republic of Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Latvia and Azerbaijan. Despite the fact that digital systems of conditional access develop rather quickly, analog system of conditional access "Crypton" retains its stable position in the market.

It was the first commercial use of equipment for digital broadcasting and system of encryption CAS Crypton in digital television of MITRIS system in Uzhgorod and Lvov. Since then "Company "Crypton" has worked on CAS Crypton encryption system development, solutions and equipment for digital broadcasting.
