Haivision has been named the Official Video Encoder of Minor League Baseball (MiLB) and will deploy its Makito X4 video encoders across MiLB's 120 ballparks. This partnership will standardize live game video contribution for over 8,000 games annually, enabling ultra-low latency transport via SRT protocol for distribution to MiLB.TV, MLB Network, and other partners. The deployment is scheduled to begin during the 2026 season.
This gives MiLB a standardized encoder layer for a live sports operation that spans 120 clubs, more than 8,000 games per season, and peak days with over 60 simultaneous feeds. It also deepens Haivision’s role in a workflow that already uses SRT and SRT Gateway for long-haul transport through data centers in New Jersey and Denver. For the broader streaming stack, the important point is not just contribution quality but operational control across a distributed, cloud-based production chain. Watch the 2026 season rollout pace across ballparks and whether the first phase changes how many games are routed through MiLB.TV, MLB Network, and other partners.
