What's New for 1.4
The Makito X4 Decoder Version 1.4 introduces the following new features and enhancements to existing capabilities:
Custom Still Image Support
Users can now upload custom Still Image files for the decoder to display when there is no input stream present (instead of the default blue/black/bars patterns previously available). |
Dual-NIC Support
The Makito X4 Decoder now supports deployment over two distinct network subnets in order to partition streaming and management services. This requires that an SFP+ Network Interface Card (Optical or Electrical) be installed in the SFP+ port. |
Preset Auto-Save
A preset auto-save setting is now available. This setting will prevent loss of configuration settings in the event of sign-outs, rebooting, or sudden power disconnection to the unit, even if users have not manually saved their configurations into presets. When preset auto-save is enabled, the decoder configuration is automatically saved every time changes are applied. Preset auto-save is enabled by default on new units and after factory reset, but disabled when upgrading from an older version of firmware that did not support this feature. |
Support for Stream ID
In order to connect with SRT services that use the Stream ID identification mechanism (SRT 1.4 or later), Stream Publishing IDs may now be assigned in the SRT stream creation workflow. Using Stream Publishing IDs allows multiple streams to connect to a single destination using the same UDP port number. |
