The MAKITO is ideally suited for today’s challenges and for those that can be foreseen well into the future. The MAKITO is based on the highly efficient H.264 compression standard saving over 50% of the bandwidth and disk space required by video-over-IP deployments. In addition, the MAKITO is equally proficient at standard definition (composite and s-video) as it is at all high definition resolutions and frame rates up to 1080p60. To accomplish this in a small form factor the MAKITO auto-detects the input of its single BNC connector and supports composite, SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI (the new standard for 1080p60). Today, the MAKITO can comfortably address video-over-IP encoding anywhere on a resolution / bandwidth scale from CIF at less than 256 kbps to Full HD at 15 Mbps.

Professional Grade, Rackmounted, Single or Multichannel Linux® Based Analog to IP Gateway that Integrates Our PC Bus Based  standard definition MPEG-2 encoders and routes Selected Transport Streams to Any MAC Address via IP. Optionally Transcodes into H.264 Any Selected Transport Stream Program(s) to Any Address Via UDP, RTP, or HTTP. Can Work as a Low Cost “Catcher” in Small VOD Implementations. Typically the desired streams are streamed in real time using UDP or RTP via IP multicast or unicast streams to IP set top boxes (STB's) such as Amino, or designated VLC or MPlayer equipped PC clients for viewing. This content server architecture assumes you have proper IP provisioning and this type of system is typically deployed in "closed" systems such as hotels, convention centers, and corporate backbones where bandwidth is dedicated and is used for this purpose only. It is not designed to work over the public internet.
