So far I gather the units scramble and decode video. The company is long gone with nothing about the purpose of the video scrambling. I was hoping that they'd be useful for something and if not are they worth any thing? Thanks for any help.

It's a relatively niche piece of equipment by the look of it and relatively obsolete.

you can't really broadcast a TV signal wireless without a station, and if you used a wired connection there wouldn't be many situations where your physical location wasn't secure.

you might use one to stop someone bugging your CCTV cameras or to make sure employees in a police station or embassy don't steal your CCTV footage.
Maybe to protect internal video links in embassies or negotiating rooms.

You could use it to protect video being physically couriered, but since anyone could see what you were carrying was scrambled...
It would only make sense if it was something you couldn't put in text, like an illegal recording of someone under investigation, a ransom video, illegal pornography.

If you tried to recover previously erased data you could probably decode it with the same device, god knows what you would find.

That is an industry standard case for electronics equipment, 90s vintage, commonly used by small scale manufactures for transport and storage. Most of that spy stuff in movies is just off the shelf electronics shit, you are losing touch with reality anon.

the other one is a decoder. if i remember correctly some british company sold it but i couldn't find anything about the devices themselves. got excited when I bought it thinking it was some tv scrambling shit and the bnc connectors were for antennas.

could i repurpose them or are they worth anything?

From the company's website. The company name is clearly printed on the green board, and its logo is on the black case. They even have an email address you can send your inquiries too.
