Minor League Baseball (MiLB) has partnered with Haivision to modernize its live video contribution across 120 stadiums, transitioning from HLS to SRT using Haivision Makito X4 encoders. This shift aims to reduce latency and improve reliability for regional sports networks and international distribution partners. Additionally, Haivision announced new products at the 2026 NAB Show, including the Makito ONE video transport platform and Falkon X4 5G mobile transmitter, designed for remote production and high-performance live contribution.
MiLB's large-scale shift to SRT for live contribution underscores the protocol's growing adoption for reducing latency and improving reliability in sports broadcasting. This move allows broader content syndication and better support for diverse production workflows, moving away from previous HLS limitations. The concurrent launch of Haivision's Makito ONE and Falkon X4 products reinforces the focus on ultra-low latency and 5G-enabled remote production, meeting documented industry demand. Watch for how this widespread SRT deployment by MiLB influences other regional sports leagues or lower-tier professional sports organizations in their video contribution strategies.
