Haivision Makito X4 HEVC Encoder: The Pinnacle of Fast Transmission

Haivision's Makito X4 Series - as well as their compact cousin Makito X H264- are designed to transmit 4K/UHD quality video at the lowest end-to-end latency. HEVC compression reduces bandwidth needs, while SRT technology minimizes the impact of packet loss, jitter, and fluctuating bandwidth from unpredictable networks.

The quad-channel configuration of the Makito X4 is ideal for live broadcast deployments that require live cooperation such as field contributions, return feeds, or remote production of multi-camera feeds.

Cutting-Edge Features and Flexibility

Equipped with a range of inputs and outputs including 12G-SDI, 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HD-SDI, along with SMPTE ST 2110 video, audio, and ancillary metadata inputs, the Makito X4 Encoder ensures seamless integration into various workflows. Its native support for SRT streaming combined with the ability to encode live UHD/HD video from SDI or SMPTE ST 2110 sources as H.264 and HEVC streams at very low latency distinguishes it as an ideal choice for real-time collaboration, remote production, and field contribution applications. Always 4K capable, this encoder is available in both single-channel and quad-channel HD configurations, allowing for versatility in different setups and production environments.

SRT Technology

Embracing Haivision’s Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) technology, the Makito X Decoder ensures end-to-end security, resiliency, and dynamic adjustment based on real-time network conditions. SRT optimizes video streaming across unpredictable networks, guaranteeing quality-of-service amid packet loss, latency, and bandwidth fluctuations. SRT is content agnostic, and can transport any type of video format, codec, resolution, or frame rate. While video and audio are transmitted between two end points, SRT detects and adapts to the live network conditions between source and destination devices resulting in reliable, high quality end-to-end streams.
