Safety Guidelines
Makito Decoder User’s Guide, v1.3, Issue 01 3
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.

Makito Decoder User’s Guide, v1.3, Issue 01 12
New Features in Version 1.3
Version 1.3 of the Makito Decoder introduces the following new features and enhance-
ments:
VF FEC Support from the WCI and SNMP
The Makito Decoder now supports Forward Error Correction (FEC) configuration from the
Web Interface and via SNMP, in addition to the existing CLI configuration. FEC provides
the ability to maintain a quality stream where minor network impairments exist. In order to
work, FEC must be enabled on both end-points.
For more information, see “FEC” on page 61.
iPerf and tcpdump Integration for Use from the CLI
The iPerf and tcpdump utilities are now installed as part of the base system to allow
detailed network analysis useful for troubleshooting.
•iPerf may be used to determine characteristics (such as bitrate, network latency, and
jitter) of the link between two end-points such as a Makito Encoder and Makito
Decoder. iPerf is used by Haivision Technical Support to debug field issues. In order
to work, the iPerf package must be present on both end-points.
•tcpdump is used by Haivision Technical Support to confirm the reception of network
packets at the decoder.
Both packages were added to the Makito Encoder in Version 2.1.
KLV/SDI Insertion into the Output Video Stream
The Makito Decoder now supports extraction of KLV (Key Length Value) metadata from
a MPEG-2 TS stream and insertion into the VANC space of the SDI interface. This feature
is intended for users who require end-to-end transport of KLV over SDI. Previous releases
of the Makito Decoder discarded any KLV data.
Note that the KLV will be re-inserted into the same video frame as it was extracted from at
the source. The PTS time-stamps on the video and KLV will be used for synchronizing the
KLV with the video.
No user interface selections are required. If KLV metadata is available, it will be inserted
to the SDI stream.

New Features in Version 1.3
Makito Decoder User’s Guide, v1.3, Issue 01 13
Closed Captioning: CC608 and CC708 Re-insertion into an SDI Interface
The Makito Decoder now supports streams that contain Closed Captioning (CC) coded as
defined in ATSC A/72 (for 608 and 708 captions) and ATSC A/65 (for 708 captions). The
Decoder will extract the CC information and re-insert it into the SDI interface (not HDMI)
as a ANC packet formatted as defined in SMPTE 334-1 and 334-2.
This feature was designed to meet regulatory requirements in the USA that require Closed
Captioning carriage on all devices that process broadcast video (including internet
streamed video).
No user interface selections are required. If CC is available, it will be inserted to the SDI
pixel VANC.
AFD Extraction and Re-insertion into an SDI Interface
Active Format Description (AFD) allows the display to determine the aspect ratio of the
source video. AFD is coded as per ATSC A/7 and is extracted from the video Elementary
Stream. If available, AFD will be inserted into the SDI bit-stream as specified in SMPTE
2016-1 and 2016-2.
No user interface selections are required.
ATC_VITC (Timecode) Re-insertion into an SDI Interface
The Makito Decoder now extracts the timecode from the Scene Enhancement Information
(SEI) pic_struct NAL (Network Abstraction Layer) within the video Elementary Stream
(defined in H.264). It then packetizes the ATC_VITC as per SMPTE 12-1 and inserts it into
the SDI VANC (Vertical Ancillary).
No user interface selections are required.

Introduction
Product Overview
Makito Decoder User’s Guide, v1.3, Issue 01 16
Product Overview
The Makito Compact HD H.264 Video Decoder is an IP video appliance designed to be
paired with the Makito Encoder. The Makito Decoder delivers SDI and HDMI digital video
with embedded digital and separate analog audio. Both SDI and HDMI interfaces support
all SD, HD and 3G standards up to 1080p60. The HDMI output also supports the decoding
and display of computer resolution sources encoded by the Makito, including 1024x768,
1280x1024, and 1920x1080. The Makito Decoder also supports balanced and unbalanced
analog audio output.
NOTE In this guide, “SDI” refers to any of the SD, HD and 3G variants. The actual
standard used by the Decoder is determined by the resolution and frame rate of the
received video stream.
The Makito Decoder supports Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) decryption of unicast
or multicast signals to provide end-to-end secure video. The Makito Decoder also supports
Forward Error Correction (FEC) error recovery and fine grained control of its IP receive
buffers to enable the capture of streams that may have traversed impaired IP networks. Both
these services are available when a Makito Decoder and Makito Encoder are used in
conjunction with Haivision’s Furnace IP Video System.
