Product Overview

The Makito FX Encoder for Command 360 video encoder is a ruggedized appliance designed for demanding, mission-critical live video applications. It can ingest a 2160p50/60 4K UHD (Ultra High Definition) video source as well as up to 4 stereo pairs of digital audio. The Makito FX Encoder for Command 360 is available as a compact standalone appliance.

This unit includes a DisplayPort Input and DisplayPort Loop Output. For more on the Makito FX interfaces, see Connect to A/V Sources.

Makito FX DisplayPort Encoder features include the following:  

• 4K Broadcast Quality Video – The Makito FX Encoder can encode live video in HD or 4K UHD for streaming over IP networks in a broad range of applications. It can encode with 8- or 10-bit pixel depth to deliver excellent picture quality, even at low bitrates. For workflows where color precision is needed, it offers 4:2:0 chroma subsampling to maintain color fidelity and prevent artifacts.

Note

When using HDMI or DisplayPort connections, the MFX can also encode DCI 4K (4096X2160p30) video.

• Standard Dynamic Range – The Makito FX encodes Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) with 10-bit pixel depths, and Wide Color Gamut support (WCG).  

• Ultra Low Latency Streaming – Up to two encoding cores can securely deliver simultaneous low latency multi-bitrate streams over challenging networks, including the public internet.

• Dual Network Interfaces – Use dual NICs to keep management separate from the video network, and create path-redundant streams to improve reliability while live-streaming. 

• Secure Content Encryption and Reliable Streaming – The Makito FX Encoder can encrypt video streams with up to 256-bit AES key lengths using the SRT protocol. It also adapts to fluctuating network bandwidth in real-time, limiting packet loss and ensuring uninterrupted high-quality video.

Note

The Makito FX DisplayPort Encoder does not support Multi-Stream Transport (MST).
