The Makito X4 SDI Decoder is capable of decoding up to four independent video streams simultaneously, converting IP video into SDI outputs for distribution to broadcast equipment, monitors, or recorders. This makes it ideal for multi-camera remote production, broadcast studios, and enterprise video networks where multiple video streams need to be decoded and displayed in real time.

Supporting both HEVC (H.265) and AVC (H.264) codecs, the Makito X4 can decode high-quality video streams with minimal bandwidth usage, making it suitable for environments with limited network capacity. HEVC provides superior compression efficiency, allowing 4K video to be transmitted over IP networks without sacrificing quality or using excessive bandwidth. AVC ensures compatibility with existing infrastructures, making the decoder versatile for a variety of applications.

With support for 4K UHD and HD video, the Makito X4 delivers pristine video quality to downstream broadcast equipment or displays. It can handle resolutions up to 2160p60, making it perfect for live sports, broadcasting, and high-definition remote productions where crystal-clear video is essential.

Designed for low-latency decoding, the Makito X4 is ideal for real-time applications such as live broadcasting, remote production, surveillance, and video contribution. Its ultra-low-latency performance ensures that video is delivered with minimal delay, which is critical in time-sensitive environments.

The Makito X4 supports SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), providing secure and reliable video streaming over unpredictable networks, including the public internet. SRT uses encryption and error correction to ensure that video streams remain stable and secure, even over long distances or in challenging network conditions. This is essential for remote broadcasts, live events, and enterprise video networks where video integrity is critical.

To ensure continuous operation, especially in mission-critical environments, the Makito X4 offers redundant power supply options. This feature minimizes the risk of power outages, ensuring that the decoder remains operational even in the event of a power failure, making it ideal for 24/7 broadcast environments.

The Makito X4 provides multiple SDI output formats, including 3G-SDI and 12G-SDI, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of broadcast and production equipment. Whether you are working with HD, 4K, or multi-channel video feeds, the decoder provides flexibility for seamless integration into your existing infrastructure.

With a 1U rackmount form factor, the Makito X4 SDI Decoder is compact and easily integrates into broadcast racks, control rooms, or remote production units. Its space-efficient design allows for scalable deployment, supporting large-scale video operations without taking up excessive rack space.

The decoder includes a web-based management interface, allowing users to configure, monitor, and control the device remotely. This feature is particularly useful for managing multiple decoders across a large network, enabling centralized control for broadcast technicians and IT managers.

The Haivision Makito X4 SDI Decoder Appliance is perfect for broadcast studios, remote production teams, live event producers, government agencies, and enterprise video networks. Its quad-channel decoding, support for HEVC and H.264, and low-latency performance make it a robust solution for real-time video streaming, remote monitoring, and multi-camera video contribution in demanding professional environments.
