Product Overview
The Makito
X Encoder Family delivers up to 12 HD channels of High Profile 1080p60
video with extremely low encoding latency, all within a single rack unit. The Makito
X
is
available as an ultra compact SDI or DVI H.264 encoding appliance with optional HEVC
encoding support, internal or removable storage, or within a high density 1RU (6 blades)
or 4RU (21 blades) chassis.
The Makito
X DVI supports HD up to 1080p60 (Component Analog or Digital) or
computer resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60 Hz (RGB or DVI-D) input via its DVI-I
connector. The Makito
X SDI Single- or Dual-Channel supports SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI
and Composite on its BNC interface(s).
Supporting AES stream encryption and forward error correction (FEC), the Makito
X is
ideal for headend applications within enterprise, education, broadcast monitoring, medical,
and military applications. Combined with Haivision’s Furnace IP video system, the
Makito
X offers administrators fine-grained control over video stream access and distribu-
tion. The Makito
X may be paired with the Makito decoder to achieve low end-to-end
latency, as well as combined with Haivision’s InStream multi-view performance player
technology.
With four internal H.264 encoding engines, the Makito
X can encode video at up to four
different bitrates and profiles for Multi-bitrate (MBR) streaming to optimize video distri-
bution. In addition, each engine can be then directed at multiple network destinations
(unicast, multicast, TS and RTMP) concurrently, to serve desktops, laptops, mobile
devices, set-top boxes, signage players, recorders, and streaming servers. The Makito
X
HEVC provides two HEVC Single- or Dual-Channel encoding engines.
The Makito
X with Storage dual-height model allows the compressed content to be
recorded and stored locally on either a removable SSD (solid-state drive, SKUs ending
-RS) or an internally installed fixed SSD (SKUs ending -FS). Recorded sessions may be
exported to an FTP/SFTP server for use within Haivision media systems including
Haivision Media Platform and the Haivision Video Cloud (HVC), or stored locally on an
SD card or USB storage device, or transferred to a network attached storage configuration
drive (if installed).
