Haivision packs 4K contribution into a scalable, dual-role blade
Haivision launched Makito ONE, a single-blade platform that combines dual-channel encoding and decoding for ultra-low-latency 4K/HD/HDR live video contribution across a range of networks. Built on Makito X4 technology, it supports multi-codec workflows (JPEG XS, HEVC, H.264) and offers SDI and SMPTE ST 2110 connectivity for on-premise, hybrid, and remote production. The system scales from a compact configuration to modular 1RU/4RU chassis supporting up to 18 blades and up to 36 HD/4K encode/decode channels.
Key Takeaways
- One blade can be reconfigured for encode/decode roles, reducing dedicated hardware footprints in live workflows
- Supports JPEG XS, HEVC, and H.264 for latency/quality trade-offs across varied network conditions
- Offers SDI and SMPTE ST 2110 connectivity, aligning with on-prem, IP, and hybrid production pipelines
- Native SRT support plus genlock and multi-camera sync features target remote production reliability
- Scales from a compact system to 1RU/4RU chassis with up to 18 hot-swappable blades (up to 36 channels)
Why It Matters
Live production is being forced into a new operating model: more events, more locations, fewer dollars—and less tolerance for latency and sync issues. Makito ONE is a clear bet on “contribution-as-infrastructure,” where flexible encode/decode capacity becomes a pool you reassign per show rather than a rack of fixed-purpose boxes. The combination of ST 2110 + SDI bridges today’s hybrid reality, while JPEG XS and SRT speak to the industry’s split between managed IP and best-effort networks. The meme to watch: density and reconfigurability are becoming the new buying criteria.
