Version History

Implementation of FIPS 140-2 security improvements.

• N/A

A new option is available to restrict the user's ability to change their password. Enforcing a minimum password lifetime helps prevent repeated password changes to defeat the password reuse or history enforcement requirement. The range is from 0 (no restriction) to 7 days. The default is 0.

In order to properly support future interactions with Haivision Hub over HTTPS, the Makito X4 firmware now includes a list of trusted root certificate authorities (ca-certificates.crt installed under /etc/ssl/certs/). This list may be used to validate certificates returned by remote servers.

• N/A

• Corrective action to resolve identified security issues affecting certification. Including:

  • Disabling accounts after a specified period of account inactivity  

  • Limiting the number of invalid sign-in attempts by a user during a specified time period 

  • Limiting the number of concurrent sign-in sessions per user

The Makito X4 Decoder now supports slice-based streams from the Makito X4 Encoder (i.e., streams that use multiple slices per frame instead of the normal one slice per frame). Encoding latency is improved since encoded slices can be transmitted on the network without having to wait for the whole frame to be encoded. 

There are no user interface changes on the decoder, only on the encoder interface.

• N/A

The Makito X4 Decoder now supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG), including both Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) and Perceptual Quantizer (PQ) HDR transfer functions. When licensed and configured for HDR, the decoder detects the inbound transfer function signaling within the stream (transmitted from a remote Makito X4 Encoder or any other compliant 3rd party encoder) and forwards this information within the SDI output signal.

HDR is a licensed feature. If the unit is not licensed for HDR, the colorspace is Standard Dynamic Range (SDR)/BT.709 in the output stream. The EMS agent has been updated to support HDR options. 

• "Dynamic Range" in Decoder Settings and dec

The following Security pages have been added to the Administrative section of the Web Interface:

• Account Management (add new accounts)

• Audit

• Banner

• Certificates

• Messages

• Policies

• Managing Users and Security

Preview Thumbnails have been added to the Control Center Decoder configuration panels to provide a visual reference of each video decoder’s output. Preview Thumbnails can be enabled/disabled and the Preview capture interval configured from the Web Interface Admin Services page.

Preview settings persist through reboot. By default, previews are enabled and set to 10 second intervals.

• Enabling and Disabling Network Services

The following improvements have been made to the Certificates page:

• Removed type "root-CA" in Identity import modal

• Removed type "Identity" and "ca-chain" in CA import modal

• Added confirmation notification when changing default certificate

• Added more custom error messages on certificate upload failure

• N/A

There are no user interface changes on the decoder, only on the encoder interface.

• N/A

New statistics are available on the Web Interface, including enhanced statistics supporting multi-channel synchronization between Makito X Series encoders and decoders.

• Decoder Statistics

• Stream Statistics

• Multi-Channel Synchronization.
