Makito™ XR Encoder Installation Guide
This Installation Guide summarizes the basic steps required to install and configure the Makito XR SD/HD/3G SDI
H.264 Video Encoder (single chassis, as shown below) to stream to your compatible decoding device. Please refer
to the Makito X 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 XR.
The Makito XR is a rugged COTS encoder designed for the most
demanding Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)
applications and built to match the physical and mission-critical
requirements of Full Motion Video (FMV). The Makito XR High
Profile encoder supports up to four 720p60 HD (in the X4R model)
or two 1080p60 HD/3G inputs (in the X2R model), and can
simultaneously output two H.264 streams, each at different bit
rates. Scaling and frame rate settings can be adjusted on-the-fly.
Applications
Designed for integration on both manned and unmanned platforms, including aerial, naval, and
ground vehicles, the Makito XR is a single Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) that will not require major system upgrades
to existing platform designs. Tested against the highest international standards for ruggedization, including MIL-
STD 810G, MIL-STD 1275E and MIL-STD 461F, it can survive shock and vibration from any mobile application,
including law enforcement, military, and underwater vehicles deployed by oil and gas companies.
