Unpack the box and visually inspect the package contents for any evidence of shipping damage. See the Important Notice document in the box for a list of contents.
In addition to the contents of the Makito XH box, you may need to have the following items available:
- Environmental enclosure
- Four #8-32 screws or stainless steel, harsh-environment cable ties
- Coaxial cabling with BNC connectors for audio/video sources, DVI cabling (DVI encoder), and/or HDMI cabling (decoder)
- Cabling for analog audio sources (mini-DIN-8 connector)
- Ethernet cable for a network connection
- Ethernet cable for a serial connection (SDI encoder)
- Sealant gel (e.g., X-Sealant Gel — http://www.xmultiple.com/xwebsite-sealant.htm)
- A laptop with Web browser and Telnet client
(Encoder) In order to be able to view the output from the Makito XH Encoder, make sure you have a decoding device or video player (e.g., VLC) that supports the UDP Transport Stream format.
(Decoder) In order to be able to test the output from the Makito XH Decoder, make sure you have an encoding device or application that supports the UDP Transport Stream format.

Note

If the device is to be installed in a remote location (e.g., on a utility pole, or on a mobile platform), we recommend that you follow the instructions in this Installation Guide to perform an initial setup in a "staging" environment, such as a lab or control center. Once the device has been set up and is demonstrated to be operating normally, you can then move it to the remote location.

Caution

Before installing the device, please refer to the "Safety Guidelines" in the Makito X Encoder User's Guide or Makito X Decoder User's Guide . Only connect the unit to a compatible power source. If an electrical fault occurs, disconnect the unit and contact Haivision Technical Support. Never try to force the connections when setting up the system as this may damage the unit.

Caution

Hot surface. Avoid contact. The chassis can achieve a surface temperature 95°C in poorly ventilated environments, and may cause personal injury if touched.
ATTENTION Surface chaude. Eviter le contact. Le châssis peut atteindre une température de surface de 95°C dans des environnements mal ventilés et peut causer des blessures en cas de contact.
