The Makito X4 SDI Encoder features four 3G-SDI inputs, allowing users to encode up to four simultaneous HD video sources or a single 4K UHD source. This makes it ideal for multi-camera productions, sports broadcasting, and live events, where high-quality video streams from multiple sources are needed. The multi-source encoding capability allows you to combine different feeds into a single workflow, simplifying complex production setups.

Supporting both 4K UHD and HD resolutions, the Makito X4 ensures that your content is captured and delivered in pristine quality. The encoder leverages HEVC (H.265) and H.264 compression technologies, allowing for high-quality streaming with optimized bandwidth usage. HEVC offers up to 50% more efficient video compression than H.264, making it ideal for streaming high-resolution content over networks with limited bandwidth.

Designed for low-latency encoding, the Makito X4 is perfect for real-time applications such as live sports, news broadcasts, remote production, and video monitoring. The ultra-low latency performance ensures smooth, real-time video feeds, making it possible to deliver broadcast-quality video with minimal delay.

The Makito X4 supports multiple simultaneous output streams, allowing users to encode in different resolutions and formats at the same time. This flexibility makes it easy to cater to various platforms and devices, from broadcast infrastructures to web streaming services like YouTube and Facebook. It supports a range of streaming protocols, including RTMP, HLS, and MPEG-TS, for maximum compatibility with content delivery networks (CDNs) and video platforms.

The Makito X4 supports the SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol, ensuring secure and stable video streaming over unpredictable networks, including the public internet. SRT’s error correction and encryption mechanisms provide reliable video transport, even in challenging network conditions, making it ideal for remote production and long-distance video transmission.

With a compact 1U rackmount form factor, the Makito X4 integrates easily into broadcast racks, control rooms, or mobile production units. Its redundant power supply option ensures continuous operation, minimizing downtime and ensuring reliable video streaming in mission-critical environments.

The encoder features an intuitive management interface that allows for centralized configuration, control, and monitoring of all encoding settings. This simplifies the management of multiple units in large-scale deployments, making it easier for technicians and operators to monitor the status of video streams and adjust settings on the fly.

The Haivision Makito X4 SDI Encoder Appliance (S-MX4E-SDI4) is ideal for broadcast studios, live event production, sports broadcasting, corporate video networks, remote video monitoring, and enterprise video distribution. Its low-latency performance, support for multiple SDI inputs, 4K UHD streaming, and secure video transport make it a versatile solution for professionals seeking reliable, high-quality video streaming in real-time.
