Latest release of the ultra-low latency,
pristine video quality Makito X4 Encoder brings broadcasters
flexible options for decentralized IP workflows powered by
SRT
MONTREAL, Feb. 3, 2022 /CNW/ - Haivision Systems
Inc. ("Haivision") (TSX: HAI), a leading provider of
mission-critical, real-time video streaming and networking
solutions, today announced that the Makito X4, the company's
flagship real-time video encoder, now features SMPTE ST 2110 input
support bringing broadcasters flexible options for decentralized IP
workflows.
With support for SMPTE 2110 input directly from cameras and
broadcast equipment, the Makito X4 can now encode uncompressed ST
2110 video as highly efficient H.264 or HEVC streams, along with
the audio and ancillary metadata, with minimal latency. The Makito
X4 can directly connect to central production facilities, cloud
resources, or remote locations over public internet connections
using the highly reliable and low latency SRT protocol.
The SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards support multicast IP
streaming of uncompressed video over local area networks, removing
the need for SDI video cables in broadcast facilities, production
trucks, and OB vans. However, due to the high bandwidth
requirements, SMPTE 2110 is not suitable for streaming to the cloud
or to the internet. The Makito X4 Encoder is the ideal solution for
bridging broadcast workflows across the internet or to the cloud in
real-time. Supporting multiple inputs, the ultra-compact and highly
reliable Makito X4 is the gold standard for fueling remote or cloud
production workflows that rely on low latency synchronized
inputs.
"Makito encoders and SRT have been the cornerstone of video
workflows for broadcasters who are driving towards the economies of
remote production and supporting production systems, staff, and
talent wherever they may be," said Peter
Maag, Haivision's CMO & EVP Strategic Partnerships.
"Now, with the Makito X4 bridging local SMPTE 2110 IP networks to
SRT-based global networks, broadcasters can realize the benefits of
being 100 percent IP-based."
Haivision's Makito X4 Encoder is a highly secure and reliable,
ultra-low latency HEVC and H.264 video encoder, featuring
exceptional image quality, native SRT streaming, and the highest
available 4K UHD and HD encoding
density as a standalone quad-HD/4K
appliance or blade for up to 84 HD or 21 UHD inputs in a 4U rack
module. The Makito X4 is ideal for live broadcast contribution,
remote production, enterprise video, and mission-critical defense
applications.
The latest version of the Makito X4 Encoder software is now
available. You can find more information about the Makito X4 series
