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.
Safety Guidelines
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.

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.
Introduction
Product Overview
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 distri­bution. 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).

Storage and Recording

The Makito X with Storage dual-height models include 250 GB of either fixed or removable SSD (solid-state drive) storage that enables users to record content directly on the encoder, while simultaneously streaming live video from two sources.
The Makito X with Storage provides the following benefits:
• Streaming Content Storage. Encoded stream content may be stored for later retrieval,
allowing continuous local recording of compressed content in real-time.
• Snapshot Content Storage. The storage module increases the amount of space that can
be used to store image snapshots. Furthermore, if the storage media is removable (such as an SSD or USB thumb drive), the content can be moved without the need to download the content via the Ethernet port.
• Record streams in TS or MP4 file formats and automatically segment the recorded
streams based on time and size.
• Browse recorded assets and play back MP4 recorded files directly within the Makito
X user interface.
Introduction

Secure Reliable Transport (SRT)

Haivision’s Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) technology is available on Makito X Series encoders and decoders. The SRT streaming protocol is designed to provide reliable and
Makito X User’s Guide, v2.0, Issue 01 25
Introduction
Product Overview
secure end-to-end transport between two SRT-enabled devices over a link which traverses the public Internet. SRT optimizes video streaming performance across unpredictable networks, recovering from packet loss, jitter, network congestion and bandwidth fluctua­tions that can severely affect the viewing experience.
SRT is applied to contribution and distribution endpoints as part of a video stream workflow. After encoding (or transcoding), SRT applies encryption and provides error recovery. Prior to decoding (or transcoding), SRT decrypts the stream and enables recovery from packet loss typical of Internet connections. At the same time, SRT detects the real­time network performance between the encode / decode / transcode endpoints. The endpoints can be dynamically adjusted for optimal stream performance and quality.
Figure 1-9 Makito X SRT Workflow
For details, see “Configuring Secure Reliable Transport (SRT)” on page 130. For addi­tional information required to set up and tune SRT streams from the encoder to the decoder, please see the SRT Deployment Guide (available through Haivision’s Download Center at:
http://www.haivision.com/download-center/).

Audio Talkback

The Audio Talkback feature allows two-way audio communication using the Makito X encoder’s audio output to function like an audio decoder. Audio talkback enables end users monitoring a streaming session to “talk back” to individuals at the video source. The talkback audio stream is output via a speaker or headphones connected to the encoder. For example, students at remote classroom locations can ask their teacher questions, or a chief surgeon observing a surgery can collaborate.
The audio talkback feature uses the InStream software player application or the Makito X decoder (release 1.2 and later) to send the talkback audio to the Makito X. The talkback is played out of the encoder’s 8-pin Mini-DIN connector (see page 32).
The following picture illustrates a sample signal path from the audio source through the Makito X’s audio output when using the talkback feature.
Figure 1-24 Audio Talkback Signal Path
Introduction
Audio Talkback
“Analog Audio Interface” on
There is no audio mixer on the Makito X, so the talkback feature is “First-In/First Served”, meaning that only one user can use the return audio channel at a time. The InStream player application provides “push-to-talk” functionality, which requires that the user push a button to transmit audio. The user must keep pushing the button to use the talkback channel. This prevents the user from accidentally locking and not releasing the channel.
The audio is only sent to the source video encoder; it is not distributed to other viewers of the stream.
The Talkback network service may be stopped or started from the Web interface (Services page, see command.
CLI commands are used to enable and disable reception of talkback audio, set the talkback volume, clear talkback statistics, and display talkback information. For details, see
back” on page 349 (CLI). Talkback audio is not configurable through SNMP in the current
release.

Safety First

Installing the Encoder
Setting Up the Encoder
Please pay particular attention to the following points in order to help protect yourself and the encoder:
• Refer to
“Safety Guidelines” on page 5.
• The Makito X is an indoor appliance and should be kept in a dry, dust free environment.
• The only user-serviceable part is the RTC battery. There are no other user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Making unauthorized changes will void the warranty.
• Only connect the unit to a compatible power source.
• If an electrical fault occurs, disconnect the unit and contact Haivision Technical Support.
• Never try to force the connections when setting up the system as this may damage the unit.

Installing the Encoder

Connecting the Encoder to the Network and a Computer

Connecting the Encoder to the Network and a Computer
To connect the Network Interface:
1. Connect the encoder’s Network port to the IP network using an Ethernet UTP cable
(type Cat 5 or higher).
This will allow you to telnet to the unit or connect via the Web interface.
Figure 2-1 Network Connector (#S/B-292E-DVI)
Connect Ethernet cable here
To connect the Serial Interface (Makito X SDI only):
1. (Optional) Connect the encoder’s COM1 port to the serial port of a computer. Use the
gray RS-232 DB9 to RJ45 Serial Management Adapter (included in the package for appliances) and a standard straight Ethernet cable.
This will allow you to communicate directly from your computer to the Makito X using a serial communication application such as HyperTerminal or Minicom. This is only required if you wish to use the Serial Management COM1 port instead of the Web in­terface. For more information, see the following section,
“Serial Interface Setup
(Makito X SDI only)”.

• For details on the connectors, see
“System Interfaces (Rear Panel)” on page 27.
• To set the terminal parameters to interface with the serial COM1 port, see the following section,
“Serial Interface Setup (Makito X SDI only)”.

Serial Interface Setup (Makito X SDI only)

The serial interface is available on the Makito X SDI Dual-Channel (# S/B-292E-HDSDI2) or Single-Channel (#S/B-292E-HDSDI1).
Prior to logging in to the Makito X for the first time, you may wish to change the unit’s default network settings to match the network in which it will be used. You can do so by connecting directly to the Makito X’s serial COM1 port from your computer using HyperTerminal (or other serial communication application).
Or you can (optionally) configure your system to capture CoT or KLV metadata from the serial port interface. Note that metadata capture is an optional feature and must be installed at the factory.
To get started, you must set the terminal parameters to communicate with the Makito X.
TIP The Makito X also supports bi-directional serial pass-through (RS-232/RS-422) for
controlling serially attached devices such as PTZ controlled cameras. Passthrough settings are managed from the CLI. For more information, see “passthrough” on page 311.
Makito X User’s Guide, v2.0, Issue 01 46
Installing the Encoder
Connecting the Encoder to the Network and a Computer
To set up the serial interface:
1. Connect the Makito X’s COM1 port to your computer as described in the previous
section, “Connecting the Encoder to the Network and a Computer”.
2. Power up the computer and start the serial communication application.
3. Set up the terminal parameters as follows:
Parameter Setting
baud rate 115,200 bps data bits 8 parity None stop bit 1 flow control None
4. Power up the Makito X. (See
“Powering Up the Unit” on page 55.)
5. From the serial communication application, press Enter to get a prompt from the
Makito X.
It takes approximately two minutes for the Makito X to boot. The system will request a login, or display the shell prompt if an active session is still running.
TIP You can view the COM port settings from the Web interface. For information, see
“Managing the COM Port” on page 191.
We recommend that you log out from the Makito X and exit from the serial communication application before disconnecting the COM1 port.

Accessing the Encoder

Accessing the Web Interface

To access the encoder configuration Web page:
1. From your computer, open a Web browser.
NOTE The Makito X supports the latest production versions (as of this document date) of
the Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Chrome browsers. Please see the Release Notes for any limitations for specific versions of these browsers.
2. Type the encoder’s IP Address in the browser’s address bar and press Enter. (See
“Default Encoder IP Address” on page 71.)

3. Log in (see
Security Steps
Only secured HTTP (HTTPS) is supported for the Web interface; therefore, a server certif­icate is required. The encoder automatically generates a self-signed certificate and your browser will recommend that you do not proceed.
If you have not changed the factory defaults on the encoder, a certificate with factory default subjects exists (DNS: haivision-ace, IP: since this default certificate will be deleted and re-generated (see below).
If you or your system administrator do not install your own certificate, a new one will be generated upon reboot the first time a non-factory IP address is detected with the configured hostname, DNS, and IP address. Accept this certificate and proceed to the Web interface.
NOTE The Makito X identity certificate and trusted root certificates are managed using
the CLI certificate command or Web interface Certificates page. For details, see
“certificate” on page 263 or “Managing Certificates” on page 221.

Default Encoder IP Address

NOTE If you haven't changed the factory presets, and if not specified elsewhere in the
shipment, the encoder’s IP Address is set by default to: 10.5.1.2.
To be able to log in to the Makito X 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 encoder. Only then you will be able to access the encoder and change the encoder's IP Address, and then afterwards change your computer's IP Address back.
TIP After you change the encoder IP Address, be sure to document it somewhere or label
the chassis.

Role-based Authorization

The Makito X uses role-based authorization control to secure the Web interface and CLI. Administrators can create new accounts and thus allocate an account to each user of the system.
The Makito X provides three defined account roles to assign privileges to users:
Role Default
Username
Guest user public Read-only access to the system. Operator operator supervisor All rights to configure A/V and stream
Administrator admin manager All access rights and Administrator
All three roles provide both Web interface and CLI access to the system. These roles and their privileges are also supported using VACM (View-based Access Control Model) for SNMP access control.

• When enabled, HDCP sources will detect the
Makito X as a HDCP sink. The source
will decide whether or not the content it sends to the Makito X needs to be protected/encrypted. The Makito X will not encode encrypted/protected content.
• When disabled, the authentication phase where keys are exchanged will fail and the content source will detect the Makito X as a device that does not support HDCP. At this point, the source will not send any protected content to the Makito X but can still send unprotected content.
NOTE: Disabling HDCP will allow the Makito
X to inter-work with Apple products such as the MacBook and iPad.
Basic Parameters
Bitrate 6000 kbps Enter the video bitrate for the encoder:
32 to 25,000 kbps
Resolution Automatic Select the stream output resolution (i.e., the
number of lines per frame and pixels per line to be encoded):
• Automatic: Encodes at the same resolution as the incoming video.
• Manually select the coded picture resolution from the list of available options (includes down-scaled resolutions). The options depend on the Input Format detected.
NOTE: See “Video Encoding” on page 371.
Cropping Disabled This parameter crops the input and encodes
to a rectangle within the input image while discarding the rest of the input image.
By default, input is scaled to the output resolution. When Cropping is enabled, the output resolution is the portion of the input that is encoded from the center. This may be done instead of downscaling.

• I: I frames only (lowest delay; lowest quality)
• IP: I and P frames only
• IBP: I, B and P frames (H.264 only)
• IBBP: I, BB (two B frames in sequence) and P frames (highest delay; highest quality) (H.264 only)
NOTE: B frames require a Main Profile
decoder. B frames provide more quality as the
encoding is more efficient; thus more details can be rendered in the same bandwidth/bitrate.
GOP Size 120 Enter the Group of Pictures size for the
encoded video.1..1000
Advanced Parameters
Aspect Ratio Automatic This specifies the aspect ratio of the video
source and signals it into the MPEG stream:
• Automatic: Aspect ratio is derived from the incoming video source resolution.
• Manually force aspect ratio to either: 3:2, 4:3, 5:3, 5:4, 16:9, 16:10, or 17:9.
• WSS/AFD: Aspect ratio is extracted from the incoming video source based on WSS (Wide Screen Signaling) or AFD (Active Format Description) if detected.
NOTE: WSS is only supported with analog
PAL video; AFD is only supported with SD­SDI video.
Closed Caption Enabled (Optional) Check this checkbox to enable

mainly for editing purposes. This field either disables timecoding, or selects the source to “timecode” the encoded video frame. The following selections are available:
• None: No time code will be inserted in the video stream (saves bandwidth if not required).
• (SDI only) Video: The timecode will be extracted from the incoming video signal.
• System: If no timecode is included in the video feed, the encoded timecode is based on the encoder’s system clock.
In this case, it is a good idea to enable NTP (see on page 180).
“Configuring Network Settings”
NOTE: See “TimeCode Source” below for
additional information.
Entropy Coding CAVLC (H.264 only) Select the compression
scheme:
• CAVLC: Context-adaptive Variable-length Coding is a lower-complexity alternative to CABAC. CAVLC produces lower quality, but is easier to decode.
• CABAC: Context-adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding is an algorithm to losslessly compress syntax elements in the video stream. CABAC compresses data more efficiently than CAVLC and should produce better quality, but requires considerably more processing to decode.
NOTE: The H.264 decoder must be Main
Profile compliant or higher to decode a CABAC video stream.
TIP: CABAC provides better visual quality
because it is more efficient.

Partitioning Disabled (H.264 only) Check this checkbox to enable
Default (Cont.) Description/Values (Cont.)
Intra-Picture Sub-Partitioning. Intra-Partitioning is a setting that allows the
use of a smaller macroblock partition during the video macroblock encoding process.
NOTE: Intra-Partitioning requires that the
H.264 decoder be High Profile compliant. Intra-Partitioning provides better visual
quality because it gives the video encoder better coding tools.
TIP: Noisy Matrix completion is enabled
automatically when Partitioning is enabled and video bitrate is under 800 Kbps. Noisy Matrix completion enhances video image “noise” reduction to improve video quality at lower bitrates and make blocky artifacts less visible.
Intra Refresh Disabled (H.264 only) Check this checkbox to enable
Intra-refresh video encoding support. Intra-refresh is a video encoding mode of
operation in which no distinct IDR frame is sent in the video elementary stream. Instead, the macro-blocks that make up the IDR frame are sent gradually within a certain time so that the entire video reference frame is re­built (at the decoder) within the number of frames specified by the Intra Refresh Rate parameter. Intra-refresh minimizes latency, smooths the video bitrate, and minimizes GOP pulsing artifacts.
TIP: Intra-refresh requires that the decoder
and streams be started first.
Intra Refresh Rate 60 (H.264 only) Specifies the number of frames
over which the entire picture is refreshed.
1..5000
NOTE: If the refresh rate is set too low, a left-
to-right wave-like artifact may result.
Partial Image Skip Disabled Allows the encoder to skip part of the image
in order to respect the bitrate limit.

Region of Interest (ROI) (H.264 only)
per video encoder) to enhance the quality of the encoded video within the region. This allows you to choose what portion of the image is important to have maximum quality.
TIP: To get started, position the region in the
center and then adjust the size.
Coordinates Centered Select the position for the region:
• Centered
• Top Left
• Top Right
• Bottom Left
• Bottom Right
• Absolute
NOTE: In Absolute mode, the region is
positioned at the exact X and Y coordinates specified. You can type in a value or use the Up and Down arrows on your keyboard to change the value:
• Up/Down Arrow: Increase/Decrease value by 1 unit
• Shift-Up/Down Arrow: Increase/Decrease value by 10 units
If you select any other option than Absolute, the X and Y input boxes are disabled.
If you drag the ROI, the Coordinates drop­down automatically switches to Absolute and the X and Y input boxes are enabled.
X, Y Default varies
with input resolution
Specifies the position of the region on the X and Y axes. (The origin is the top left corner of the display area.)
NOTE: Only takes effect if Coordinates is set
to Absolute.
Type Normal Specifies the effect of the region:
• Normal: ROI is translucent, therefore enhances the video in the region.
• Private: ROI is opaque to block out the ROI video. Also Emphasis is grayed out (since no longer applicable)

signal with detected resolution) Displays the ratio of the ROI region to the entire screen.
NOTE: The ratio must not exceed 30% in
order to see the quality difference between the background and the ROI.
Border None (Optional) Applies a border to the region:
• None: No border around the ROI
• Dashed: Thin dashed border around the ROI
• Corner: Borders on each corner of the ROI.
NOTE: Once a region of interest with
borders is enabled on a video encoder, all the video encoders using the same video input will show that border in their encoded output regardless of whether or not ROI is enabled on them.
Emphasis 4 Sets the difference in quality between the
ROI and the rest of the input image. The higher the value, the better the region of
interest will look at the expense of the rest of the image. An emphasis value of 4 is a compromise where the ROI looks better but the surroundings are still good.
TIP: You can either move the slider to the
desired value, click along the slider frame, or click the “-” or “+” to change the slider position.
n/a Click Stop to stop an active encoder.
Click Start to start or restart a stopped encoder.
n/a Click Statistics to view statistics for the
encoder. See “Video Encoder Statistics” on page 98.

TimeCode Source
The following table provides the list of possible TimeCode sources when “Video” is selected:
Input Type Possible TimeCode Source(s)
CVBS Input signal 1) VITC (The timecode is extracted from the Vertical
Interval TimeCode of the incoming video signal).
SD/HD/3G-SDI 1) MISB 0605 KLV micro-second timestamp (if KLV is
enabled)
2) ATC_VITC
3) MISB 0601 KLV micro-second timestamp (if KLV is enabled)
4) System Time clock
NOTES:
• The digitized version of VITC (referred to as D-VITC) is not supported. Only ATC_VITC (Ancillary Timecode) is supported.
• Although LTC (Linear Timecode) and VITC timecodes may be present at the same time, the current release only supports VITC and LTC ancillary packets will be ignored.

Video Encoder Statistics

The following table lists the Video Encoder statistics:
Video Encoder Statistic Description/Values
State The current operating status of the encoder, either:
Up Time (only available when State is WORKING) The length of
NOTE: The one to be carried is chosen based on the
time difference between the timecode STC (System Time Clock) and the coded picture.
