Comprehensive 4K Recorder Disc Decryption & Backup

4K Recording Decryption

Seamlessly Decrypt and Back Up Recorded 4K Blu-rays

With the growing popularity of 4K broadcasting through channels like NHK's BS4K and SKY PerfecTV's CS4K, more users are recording 4K Blu-ray content at home. However, these recorded discs are typically encrypted, limiting users' ability to access and manage their 4K BDAV discs.

Passkey for 4K Recorder addresses this challenge by decrypting all recorded 4K Blu-ray discs. This gives users complete control over their content, allowing them to freely decrypt, copy, back up, and play their recorded 4K Blu-rays without encryption barriers.

Multi-Device Support

Compatible with Most Major 4K Recording Devices

Unlike commercial 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, which follow a standard specification, recorded 4K Blu-ray discs may have varying specifications depending on the recording device.

Regardless of the device, manufacturer, or output format—such as m2ts from Sharp or mmts from Panasonic—Passkey for 4K Recorder is compatible with all of them.

Multi-Format Output

Output ISO Images or BDAV Folders

In addition to basic decryption, Passkey for 4K Recorder provides a primary 4K BDAV backup function, allowing users to make full disc copies of unprotected recorded 4K Blu-rays and save the output to a computer hard drive as 4K ISO image files or 4K BDAV folders.
