Montreal & Chicago -- HaiVision Network Video, the world’s leading
vendor of high-performance H.264 encoders, codecs, and IP video
systems, today announced the immediate availability of the MAKITO, a
revolutionary, high definition video encoder. The MAKITO is the
first and only compact encoder that combines the efficiencies of
H.264 video compression, the image quality of full high definition
video, a very compact form factor, and a remarkable price. The
MAKITO also is fully integrated with Video Furnace System 5,
HaiVision’s complete end-to-end HD H.264 IP video distribution
solution. The company will unveil and demonstrate MAKITO for the
first time at the 2009 NAB Show in Las Vegas next week. |

The MAKITO is designed to
future-proof network video installations, supporting SD and HD all
the way up to 1080p60. Furthermore, the MAKITO has many of the
advanced features of the preeminent HaiVision hai1000 MAKO-HD
platform, including the ability to produce multiple stream
resolutions from a single source (HiLo Streaming), sending high bit
rate video to performance endpoints and lower-bandwidth video for
mass consumption. With the MAKITO, the user needs only to “encode
once,” using its powerful networking features combined with the
ubiquity of H.264, to reach all possible viewers.
“The MAKITO enables a new generation of video users who have access
to full HD capability over their networks. Only now with the
introduction of the MAKITO can high definition be efficiently and
affordably distributed, captured, and rebroadcast,” said Mirko Wicha,
president and CEO of HaiVision Network Video.
The MAKITO strictly adheres to H.264 industry standards. It is
compatible with a wide variety of video-over-IP systems, streaming
servers such as Flash and QuickTime, set top boxes, and soft players
including HaiVision’s “zero footprint” InStream desktop player.
The MAKITO is available as a compact appliance or in a mini-blade
format. HaiVision’s new 4U rack-mount chassis can hold up to 21
MAKITOs making the MAKITO the ideal platform for high-density HD
IPTV head ends.
The MAKITO will launch next week at NAB in Las Vegas, HaiVision
booth SL4126.
