It was all smiles and birthday cake at
Haivision on Monday to celebrate the sale
of the firm’s 5,000th Makito. The H.264 HD
encoder-decoder allows fluid transmission of
HD video over the Internet.
Speaking at the press conference, Haivision
Executive Vice President Peter Maag
detailed a newly announced collaboration
with Zixi, whose technology is now built
into Makito units. Among other things, said
Maag, combined Makito/Zixi technology is
being used by several clients for ENG newsgathering
— primarily on remotes that lack
ready access to traditional satellite or network
services.
New for the NAB Show are the Kraken
Enterprise and Kraken ISR low-latency, realtime
transcoding systems. Maag said both
formats provide a solution for getting live
media content to any and all users at any time
— and across multiple platforms.
The Enterprise is geared to large IP
streams and converts them for mobile devices,
PCs, or set-top boxes. The ISR is configured
more for non-broadcast venues such as
military intelligence, surveillance and MISPcompliant
metadata applications.
Haivision also is showing its digital signage
products, notably CoolSign Kodak
Pulse, where content is controlled from a
central location via WiFi.
