A new kind of printed authentication mark

One QR Code.More possibilities.

Scan QR2HD. Read HD CypherCode. Connect to the information you need.

Place a separate HD CypherCode beneath QR2HD to display product information or open a product webpage. When label space is limited, QR2HD can also carry two embedded HD Barcode messages inside the QR Code itself.

The CypherCode displays a short sample text message.

The difference that matters

The QR Code gets you to the reader. The HD Barcode provides the information.

A separate HD CypherCode can encode readable text or a URL. When space is at a premium, embedded HD Barcode messages provide another option. Optional printed anti-copy features address a different question: whether a printed mark is an original or a reproduction.

QR2HD + HD CypherCode

The same QR2HD QR Code opens the reader. Different CypherCodes can supply different messages or web destinations.

Embedded HD messages

No separate CypherCode needed. Two additional HD Barcode messages fit within the QR Code, with optional encryption and printed anti-copy features.

Two configurations.
One QR2HD experience.

Use a separate CypherCode when there is enough label space and you want flexible product-specific data. Or embed additional HD Barcode messages inside the QR Code when a second symbol will not fit.

The customer experience

Recognize it. Scan it. Read it.

No store employee, special consumer app, dedicated scanner, or other consumer equipment is required.

1

Recognize

Look for the recognizable QR2HD design. For a CypherCode application, the separate HD Barcode appears below it.

2

Connect

Use the cell phone camera to open the QR2HD.com reader.

3

Verify

Point the reader at the HD Barcode. Plain text is displayed; a decoded HTTPS URL can take you to a product webpage.

Built for manufacturers

One small mark. Several jobs.

Product information

Display instructions, product details, or other text encoded in an HD CypherCode.

Product webpages

A CypherCode containing a URL can open a product-specific webpage or a database-backed lookup.

Protected information

Embedded HD Barcode messages can be encrypted, so only authorized readers can recover protected information.

Optional anti-copy

For suitable printed applications, proprietary features can help evaluate whether a mark has been reproduced.

Try QR2HD + HD CypherCode

One QR Code. Two different results.

Both examples use exactly the same QR2HD symbol and reader. Only the content of the separate CypherCode changes.

EXAMPLE 1 · DIRECT TEXT

Read product information

QR2HD QR Code opening the CypherCode readerGary's HD CypherCode example for text display

Scan the QR Code with a cell phone, then point the CypherCode reader at the separate barcode. When it contains ordinary text, the reader displays that text.

Expected decoded text: This demo QR2HD CypherCode can hold 50 characters of data.
EXAMPLE 2 · WEB DESTINATION

Open product information online

Same QR2HD QR Code opening the CypherCode readerGary's HD CypherCode example for URL redirection

Scan the same QR Code, then read a different CypherCode. When its decoded message is an HTTPS URL, the reader follows that URL to a product page or database-backed application.

Sample result: A manufacturer’s product information webpage.

Examples 1 and 2 use the actual HD CypherCode artwork cropped from Gary's email examples. The opening demonstration remains the separate working QR2HD/CypherCode pair.

A compact alternative

Not enough printing real estate for two codes?

Need extra messages that only authorized users can read? Or optional physical anti-copy features to help distinguish originals from reproductions? Embed two HD Barcode messages inside the QR Code itself—no separate symbol required.

EXAMPLE 3.
Two messages, one QR Code.

Display this page on a PC or tablet and use a cell phone as the reader. This QR2HD symbol carries two separate, unencrypted HD Barcode messages, so both can be read immediately.

Keep this page open on a PC or tablet and use a cell phone to scan the QR2HD symbol directly from the screen.
1

Open the reader. Scan the QR2HD symbol with the phone's normal camera. The QR Code opens the QR2HD reader.

2

Read the HD Barcode data. Point the QR2HD reader back at the same symbol.

3

See both messages. The reader recovers and displays both embedded messages from the same QR2HD symbol.

This on-screen example demonstrates reading the two embedded HD Barcode messages. Optional anti-copy features are intended for printed originals and are not demonstrated here.

Use the configuration that fits the application.

QR2HD can pair with a separate HD CypherCode for flexible product information or place additional HD Barcode messages inside the same QR Code when space is limited. Printed anti-copy evaluation is an optional capability, not a feature demonstrated by the screen examples.
