Product Overview

Haivision's Makito FX is a real-time HEVC/H.265 and AVC/H.264 video encoder, designed for demanding, mission-critical live video applications. It can ingest a full 2160p50/60 4K UHD (Ultra High Definition) video source as well as up to 4 stereo pairs of digital audio. The Makito FX is available as a compact standalone appliance.

Makito FX features include the following:  

• 4K Broadcast Quality Video – The Makito FX Encoder can encode live video in HD or 4K UHD for streaming over IP networks in a broad range of applications. It can encode with 8- or 10-bit pixel depth to deliver excellent picture quality, even at low bitrates. For workflows where color precision is needed, it offers 4:2:2 chroma subsampling to maintain color fidelity and prevent artifacts.
  
  
• High Dynamic Range – In addition to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), 10-bit pixel depths, and Wide Color Gamut support (WCG), the Makito FX can also encode live content for HDR workflows using HLG or PQ (ST 2084) transfer functions. 
  
  

• Ultra Low Latency Streaming – Up to two encoding cores can securely deliver simultaneous low latency multi-bitrate streams over challenging networks, including the public internet.
  
  

• Dual Network Interfaces – Use dual NICs to keep management separate from the video network, and create path-redundant streams to improve reliability while live-streaming. 
  
  
• Secure Content Encryption and Reliable Streaming – The Makito FX Encoder can encrypt video streams with up to 256-bit AES key lengths using the SRT protocol. It also adapts to fluctuating network bandwidth in real-time, limiting packet loss and ensuring uninterrupted high-quality video.
