Product Overview
The Makito X4 decoder is a low latency, quad channel SDI video decoder for live sports coverage, news broadcasts, corporate video, and mission-critical ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) deployments. It is designed to be used with the Makito X4 encoder in Broadcast, Defense, and Enterprise markets.
Features include the following:
- 4K UHD / Quad HD Video Decoding – The Makito X4 is a versatile real-time HEVC/H.265 and AVC/H.264 video decoder that can receive up to four 1080p50/60 HD streams or a single full 2160p50/60 4K UHD (Ultra High Definition) stream over IP, along with 32 channels of digital audio. The Makito X4 can decode video streams with either 8- or 10-bit pixel depth and 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 chroma subsampling. Decoded streams can be output as 12G-SDI video for 4K content or in HD with up to four 3G-SDI outputs.
- Ultra Low Latency End-to-End – The Makito X4 decoder decodes HEVC and H.264 video with extremely low latency and is ideally suited for live broadcast interviews and remote production.
- Remote Production with Stream Sync – The Makito X4 decoder supports Haivision’s Stream Sync technology which automatically synchronizes multiple streams based on timecodes embedded by Makito X4 encoders. Stream Sync supports remote production of live video over IP by enabling synchronized switching between multiple video and audio sources.
- High Density Form Factor – The Makito X4 decoder is available as a compact standalone appliance or as a blade for Haivision rack-mountable enclosures. With the same single-height form factor as the Makito X4 encoder, the Makito X4 decoder offers high channel density for up to 84 HD or 21 UHD video encoding or decoding sources within a single 4RU rack module.
- Secure Reliable Transport – The Makito X4 decoder can decode video streams secured with AES 128- or 256-bit encryption using the SRT protocol. In order to reliably deliver streams over unmanaged networks, SRT adapts to changing network conditions and recovers lost packets in real-time.
