The Entrust Artista CR805 ISO Magnetic Stripe and Loosely Coupled HID Omnikey Smart Card Encoder Upgrade Kit (515405-002) is a genuine hardware upgrade designed to expand the credential personalization capabilities of compatible Entrust Artista CR805 retransfer card printers. This kit combines ISO magnetic stripe encoding with a loosely coupled HID Omnikey smart card encoder, allowing organizations to create advanced multi-technology credentials within a streamlined card issuance workflow.

Supporting both legacy and modern credential technologies, this upgrade enables organizations to encode magnetic stripe cards while also personalizing HID smart card technologies including Prox, iCLASS®, iCLASS SE®, and iCLASS SEOS®. The read/write smart card capability helps support secure access control, authentication, and identity applications that require electronically personalized credentials.

By integrating encoding capabilities into the CR805 card production environment, organizations can reduce manual card handling and simplify the credential issuance process. The combined encoding solution is ideal for programs that require both magnetic stripe functionality and advanced smart card technology while maintaining a consistent production workflow.

This upgrade is well suited for corporate security programs, government agencies, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and other organizations issuing secure credentials. Applications include employee badges, access control cards, secure IDs, authentication credentials, and multi-technology identification cards.

Designed for CR805 printers equipped with an R5 main board, this upgrade provides a flexible path for expanding card personalization capabilities. Printers with an R4 main board require SKU 534002-001 to support the appropriate hardware configuration.

As a genuine Entrust accessory, the Artista CR805 ISO Magnetic Stripe and HID Omnikey Smart Card Encoder Upgrade Kit provides dependable compatibility and helps organizations maximize the capabilities of their existing retransfer card issuance systems.
