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 cutting edge, 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.
