Safety Guidelines
Makito X User’s Guide, v2.0, Issue 01 5
Safety Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when unsafe conditions exist or when potentially hazardous
voltages are present:
●Always use caution and common sense.
●To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not operate equipment with the cover
removed.
●Repairs must be performed by qualified service personnel only.
Antistatic Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) results from the buildup of static electricity and can cause
computer components to fail. Electrostatic discharge occurs when a person whose body
contains a static buildup touches a computer component.
The equipment contains static-sensitive devices that may be easily damaged, and proper
handling and grounding is essential. Use ESD precautionary measures when installing
systems or cards, and keep the parts and cards in antistatic packaging when not in use. If
possible, use antistatic floorpads and workbench pads.
Improper handling and/or installation practices may VOID the warranty.
CAUTION When handling components, or when setting switch options, always use an
antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded equipment frame or chassis. If a wrist strap
is not available, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the equipment. Never
use a conductive tool, such as a screwdriver or a paper clip, to set switches.
Fan Blade
Do not touch or push the fan blade with fingers or other objects. Doing so may damage the
fan and/or fan bearings, which can result in a noise problem as well as accelerated failure
of the mechanical part.

New Product Features
Version 2.0 of the Makito X User’s Guide introduces the following new feature:
HEVC/H.265 Video Encoding
The Makito X encoder now supports High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265)
encoding and streaming. This functionality is only available on Makito X hardware that is
HEVC capable.
Operators can now choose the encoding algorithm when encoding video: either
AVC/H.264 or HEVC/H.265.
For details, see “Configuring Video Encoders” on page 86 (Web Interface) and “stream”
on page 337 (CLI).

Product Overview
The Makito X Encoder Family delivers up to 12 HD channels of High Profile 1080p60
video with extremely low encoding latency, all within a single rack unit. The Makito X is
available as an ultra compact SDI or DVI H.264 encoding appliance with optional HEVC
encoding support, internal or removable storage, or within a high density 1RU (6 blades)
or 4RU (21 blades) chassis.
The Makito X DVI supports HD up to 1080p60 (Component Analog or Digital) or
computer resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60 Hz (RGB or DVI-D) input via its DVI-I
connector. The Makito X SDI supports SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI and Composite on its BNC
interface(s).
Supporting AES stream encryption and forward error correction (FEC), the Makito X is
ideal for headend applications within enterprise, education, broadcast monitoring, medical,
and military applications. Combined with Haivision’s Furnace IP video system, the Makito
X offers administrators fine-grained control over video stream access and distribution. The
Makito X may be paired with the Makito decoder to achieve low end-to-end latency, as well
as combined with Haivision’s InStream multi-view performance player technology.
With four internal H.264 encoding engines, the Makito X can encode video at up to four
different bitrates and profiles for Multi-bitrate (MBR) streaming to optimize video distri-
bution. In addition, each engine can be then directed at multiple network destinations
(unicast, multicast, TS and RTMP) concurrently, to serve desktops, laptops, mobile
devices, set-top boxes, signage players, recorders, and streaming servers. In the current
release, the Makito X HEVC provides one HEVC encoding engine.
The Makito X with Storage dual-height model allows the compressed content to be
recorded and stored locally on either a removable SSD (solid-state drive, SKUs ending
-RS) or an internally installed fixed SSD (SKUs ending -FS). Recorded sessions may be
exported to an FTP/SFTP server for use within Haivision media systems including Calypso
and the Haivision Video Cloud (HVC), or stored locally on an SD card or USB storage
device, or transferred to a network attached storage configuration drive (if installed).
