Makito™ XH Decoder Installation Guide
This Installation Guide summarizes the basic steps required to install and configure the Makito XH "Harsh" HD/SD
H.264 Video Decoder (single chassis, as shown below) to decode and display compatible IP video streams. Please
refer to the Makito X Decoder User's Guide or the online help (available from the Web Interface) for detailed
information.
NOTE
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with this Installation Guide before installing your
Makito XH Decoder in a remote location.
The Makito XH Decoder is a semi-ruggedized, industrial version
of the Makito X Decoder, available in a dual SDI plus HDMI
output configuration. It is designed for fan-less operation in
harsh/hot environments, where it can survive exposure to a
limited range of temperatures and other environmental factors
(e.g. humidity, dust, etc.).
The Makito XH Decoder is resistant to a limited amount of
shock and vibration, and can tolerate variations in temperature
(from 0 to 70 °C), humidity (0% to 95%, non-condensing), and air pressure (from 300 to 1015 kPa). In all other
aspects (video/audio decoding, management, network/serial port and metadata control) the Makito XH Decoder
is identical to its non-ruggedized Makito X Decoder counterparts.
Applications
The Makito XH Decoder is suited for ISR activities in remote locations, where it should be mounted within an
environmental enclosure for additional protection. Typical applications include providing on-site decoding of
video streams for border patrol operations, and fan-less decoding in noise-sensitive environments (e.g. a
broadcast booth at a live sporting event).
NOTE
While the Makito XH Decoder has a real-time clock (RTC), it has no RTC battery. In the event of a
power loss, the system date and time settings are lost. For any application with a requirement for stand-
alone synchronized system timing (or derived time codes), an NTP server should be used to provide time
and date synchronization.

  • Page 9 Setting Up a Test Stream To verify that the Makito XH Decoder is operational, you will need to set up an encoded video stream for it to receive and decode. To do this, make sure that your encoding device (or software) is compatible with the UDP Transport Stream format and is on the same network segment as the Makito XH Decoder.
  • Page 10 Output Resolution and Frame Rate. NOTE The Makito XH Decoder supports two independent video decoders that feed the two SDI interfac- es. The HDMI port can be configured to mirror the same content that is seen on either SDI1 or SDI2. The decoder also can support the display of computer graphics content over the HDMI port.
