Description 
The Netcrypt
™ Bulk Encryptor is a powerful, network-
attached encryption device designed for broadcast and 
on-demand applications in systems that use MPEG 
transport over UDP, IP, and Ethernet.  
The Netcrypt Bulk Encryptor has a maximum 
throughput of four gigabits per second (4 Gbps) in a compact, two rack-unit high chassis. 
It is capable of encrypting as many as 4,000 input programs into a maximum of 4,000 
transport streams suitable for distribution as digital broadcast or as IP multicast sessions. 
The Netcrypt Bulk Encryptor is designed to be connected to a switch or router network 
using four Gigabit Ethernet ports in bi-directional mode. In this application, QAM 
modulator edge devices are connected to ports on the Gigabit Ethernet switch either 
directly or remotely through network transport equipment. The Netcrypt Bulk Encryptor 
receives clear data to be encrypted and sends the data to the edge device’s Gigabit 
Ethernet switch for distribution through other ports. 
Features 
•  Ideal for encryption of switched digital video (SDV) streams 
•  Maximum throughput of 4 Gbps 
•  Capable of encrypting up to 4,000 input programs into a maximum of 4,000 transport 
streams suitable for digital broadcast or multicast sessions 
•  Four Gigabit Ethernet ports for MPEG data (duplex multimode fiber optic cables or 
copper cables) 
•  Optimizes system management with provisioning and monitoring by the DNCS 
•  Five front-panel status indicators provide an at-a-glance status of the unit
