4K UHD, HD, and HDR
Video encoder for low latency, broadcast quality streaming
The new Makito X4 offers power, quality and flexibility for real-time HEVC/AVC video encoding in a compact appliance or rack-mountable blade. Designed for the most demanding live video applications, the Makito X4 can ingest full 4K UHD or up to four HD inputs with 10-bit pixel depth, 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, and high dynamic range (HDR) video using PQ or HLG transfer functions.
Extremely robust and always reliable, the Makito X4 offers 8 powerful encoding cores that can securely and simultaneously deliver low latency multi-bitrate streams over any IP network. And with native support for the SRT protocol, the Makito X4 is ideal for streaming over unpredictable networks such as the public internet.
A COMPLETE 4K OVER IP SOLUTION
The perfect companion to the Makito X4 Encoder, the Makito X4 Decoder leverages Haivision’s Makito X heritage for proven reliability, quality and innovation. Compatible with a variety of Haivision products and able to fit in the same chassis as other Makito X and X4 products, the Makito X4 Decoder provides a seamless end-to-end 4K over IP workflow at ultra-low latency.
HIGH DENSITY HEVC ENCODING
The Makito X4 is a compact, portable appliance ideal for use on mobile platforms and in remote locations. For centralized deployments Makito X4 blades offer the highest channel density available, up to 84 HD or 21 UHD video sources within a single 4RU rack module.
An intuitive web-based interface enables systems administrators and users to configure and manage a Makito X4 Video Encoder from anywhere. For managing multiple Makito X encoders and decoders, the Haivision EMS element management system can be used to organize and group devices with custom tags, monitor their status in real-time and perform firmware upgrades from a central location.
FLEXIBLE AND FUTURE PROOF
With a powerful encoding engine built on top of a programmable platform, the Makito X4 addresses a wide range of live video applications today and tomorrow, including 4K UHD, HDR, and IP-based production workflows, ensuring that your live video workflows address today’s critical needs, and are flexible enough to adapt to your future low latency video encoding requirements.
