Maria: Haivision has released a new software version for its Makito X4 video encoder, boasting a revamped user interface aimed at optimizing video encoding and streaming workflows. The dashboard offers real-time monitoring of active video sources, stream statistics, and status indications. The redesign simplifies tasks, from managing encoding resources to stream setup.

Mary, I know that you are curious about this.

Mary: I’ve been reading up on this, and they’re really emphasizing its capabilities. It’s not just about low latency; we’re talking ultra-low latency here. While broadcasters are an obvious user group, they’re also highlighting its applicability in corporate settings, government conferences, and even the military. I’m not entirely sure of its military applications, but it’s intriguing to see them branching out into diverse markets. It supports both SDI and my personal favorite, 2110-30, which simplifies connectivity immensely.

Philip, what’s your take on this?

Philip: I definitely see their push towards the corporate sector, which is crucial. The AV world is now integrating with compression. Their software updates and the emphasis on user-friendliness indicate a realization that not just engineers will be using this. They’re making it more accessible for the average end-user.

The live broadcast took place on August 28, 2023. Production – TKT1957 LLC.
