Montreal, Canada -- HaiVision Systems Inc. announces immediate
support for the AmiNET130 IPTV Set-Top Box (STB) with its acclaimed
MAKO-HD encoding technology. The MAKO-HD, which supports the lowest
latency video encoding available and is a fraction of the cost of
competitive products, now delivers full frame rate H.264 encoded
video at 1080i or 720p high definition to the Amino platform. |

This new development is a critical milestone in
the planning of IPTV, video distribution networks, and digital
signage systems. Previously, designers either had to rely on costly
signage style computer endpoints, expensive video and audio
distribution hardware, or if they opted for live network video, had
to suffer standard definition video networked to large flat panel
displays. Now, integrators can centralize the content delivery and
distribute the highest quality HD video content to low cost
endpoints over the network. As well unlike traditional computer
based signage systems, integrators and their clients alike can be
secure with the knowledge that the STB endpoints will not need to be
upgraded for more performance in years to come – the video network
will always distribute full resolution, full frame rate HD.
The lowest latency is critical when distributing live event video
such as within a stadium. Designed for telepresence and interactive
broadcast applications, the MAKO-HD encoder achieves an incredible
low latency benchmark of 70 milliseconds. Competitive products are
typically not only significantly more expensive, but as well require
from 1/2 to over 4 seconds to encode video.
“Integrators understand that standards play a key role in the
flexibility of the systems that they recommend,” states Peter Maag,
HaiVision’s VP of Marketing. “H.264 and HD is a combination that
will withstand cycles of technology change for years to come.”
The MAKO-HD is a codec “blade” available for HaiVision’s hai1000
multi-stream systems. Each hai1000 can hold up to 5 MAKO-HD blades
within a compact, telecom grade 3U rack chassis, making it the most
compact HD encoding platform available.
Plan to see HaiVision and the MAKO-HD at NAB booth SU11626.
