Haivision is a leading provider of mission-critical, real-time video networking and visual collaboration solutions, differentiated by its open-source SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol, which enables low-latency, secure, and reliable video transmission over unpredictable networks. The company has been recognized with multiple Emmy Awards for Technology and Engineering, highlighting its innovation in IP video transformation. Haivision's solutions are trusted by broadcasters, enterprises, and government organizations globally for live video streaming and visual collaboration, with a focus on high quality, low latency, and security.
Haivision has updated its SRT Gateway with a redesigned user experience, featuring visual drag-and-drop route building, mobile-device support, and thumbnail previews. These enhancements aim to simplify large-scale IP video route management for broadcasters and media organizations. The update improves workflow, monitoring, and accessibility for SRT-based video transport.
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.
Haivision has released a technical white paper providing an overview of the open-source Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol. The documentation details SRT's operations, packet structures, and loss recovery methods for streaming professionals. It aims to assist with implementing SRT for managing timing, latency, and encryption in live video workflows.
Haivision hosted a webinar showcasing its broadcast contribution ecosystem, including the new Makito ONE video transport platform and Falkon X4 5G mobile video transmitter. The webinar featured Minor League Baseball (MiLB) as a customer, detailing how Haivision's solutions power MiLB's live video contribution, production, and distribution workflows across its 120 teams.
Haivision describes audio-video synchronization and multi-camera stream synchronization capabilities for live and remote production workflows, claiming lip-sync accuracy under 5ms even across long sessions and brief interruptions such as source switching or network outages. The company says its Makito encoder/decoder and Haivision mobile transmitter products can maintain aligned multi-camera contributions over SRT or bonded cellular using SST, supporting outputs to SDI, ST 2110, and cloud-based production workflows.
The article explains how mobile video transmitters (bonded cellular encoders) use bonded 3G/4G/5G connections to contribute low-latency, broadcast-quality live video from remote or mobile sports production environments. It highlights use cases such as vehicle-mounted cameras, drones, and on-water coverage, and describes management and return-feed workflows via Haivision products and its SST transport protocol.
Haivision published a blog post emphasizing the critical role of low latency in the "first mile" of live broadcast contribution, from camera capture to the production facility. The article highlights that minimizing latency at this stage is essential for maintaining synchronization across multiple video sources and enabling real-time production responses, while also balancing high picture quality at low bitrates, citing Haivision's Makito encoders and Aviwest products as solutions.
