Makito™ XH Decoder Installation Guide
This Installation Guide summarizes the basic steps required to install and configure the Makito XH “Harsh” HD/SD
H.264 Video Decoder (single chassis, as shown below) to decode and display compatible IP video streams. Please
refer to the Makito X Decoder User’s Guide or the online help (available from the Web Interface) for detailed
information.
NOTE We recommend that you familiarize yourself with this Installation Guide before installing your
Makito XH Decoder in a remote location.
The Makito XH Decoder is a semi-ruggedized, industrial version
of the Makito X Decoder, available in a dual SDI plus HDMI
output configuration. It is designed for fan-less operation in
harsh/hot environments, where it can survive exposure to a
limited range of temperatures and other environmental factors
(e.g. humidity, dust, etc.).
The Makito XH Decoder is resistant to a limited amount of
shock and vibration, and can tolerate variations in temperature
(from 0 to 70 °C), humidity (0% to 95%, non-condensing), and air pressure (from 300 to 1015 kPa). In all other
aspects (video/audio decoding, management, network/serial port and metadata control) the Makito XH Decoder
is identical to its non-ruggedized Makito X Decoder counterparts.
Applications
The Makito XH Decoder is suited for ISR activities in remote locations, where it should be mounted within an
environmental enclosure for additional protection. Typical applications include providing on-site decoding of
video streams for border patrol operations, and fan-less decoding in noise-sensitive environments (e.g. a
broadcast booth at a live sporting event).
NOTE While the Makito XH Decoder has a real-time clock (RTC), it has no RTC battery. In the event of a
power loss, the system date and time settings are lost. For any application with a requirement for stand-
alone synchronized system timing (or derived time codes), an NTP server should be used to provide time
and date synchronization.

HVS-ID-IG-MAKXHD-21, Issue 01 Page 7 of 14
Modifying the Decoder’s IP Address
If you haven't changed the factory presets, and if not specified elsewhere in the shipment, the decoder’s IP
address is set by default to: 10.5.1.2. To be able to log in to the Makito XH Web interface, your computer has
to be in the same IP address range (subnet). You may have to temporarily change your computer’s IP address to
be in the same subnet as the decoder. Only then you will be able to access the decoder and change the decoder's
IP address, and then afterwards change your computer's IP address back.
TIP After you change the Makito XH’s IP address, we recommend that you document it somewhere, and
label the chassis.
1. If you have not already done so, power up the decoder.
2. The Makito XH Decoder comes pre-configured with the following settings:
