NAB 2026: Haivision to unveil Makito One live video contribution platform 

Haivision will unveil a flexible and versatile single-blade video encoding and decoding solution at the 2026 NAB Show – the Makito One video transport platform.

Makito One combines dual‑channel video encoding and decoding, ultra‑low latency 4K/HD/HDR video, and multi‑codec flexibility for transport over any network. In addition, it provides SDI and SMPTE ST 2110 connectivity, future‑proofing broadcast workflows. From the simplest to the most complex live productions, whether on-premise, hybrid, or remote, Makito One is an all-in-one solution.

Grounded in the legacy of the Makito X4 video encoder, Havision says Makito One gives broadcasters the flexibility and scalability to adapt to specific needs in the field, support evolving production capabilities, and maximise efficiency across diverse production environments. 

The video transport platform allows users to adapt to changing conditions with configurable encoding and decoding. It can be set up as a dual-channel encoder or decoder, or a mix of both, making it possible to cover all video contribution needs with fewer devices in the field.  It also delivers ultra-low latency, pristine quality 4K, HD, and HDR video with JPEG XS, HEVC, and H.264 over networks including public internet, wireless, satellite, and fibre.   

From single-venue productions to the largest live multi-camera events, Makito ONE’s hardware blades scale easily to meet broadcasters’ needs with high-density chassis options. Available for SDI and SMPTE ST 2110, it is designed so broadcasters can support traditional, hybrid, and remote environments, scale as needed to handle more feeds, and future- their production infrastructure.

With ultra-low latency, precise AV and multi-camera sync, genlock capabilities, and broadcast ecosystem compatibility with native SRT protocol support, Makito One empowers production teams to deliver synchronized, real-time content, no matter where they are, which is critical in remote and hybrid productions. 

“Makito One represents a major step forward for live broadcast contribution,” said Jean‑Marc Racine, chief product officer and EVP broadcast, Haivision. “Broadcasters are being asked to produce more live content than ever, across more locations and with tighter budgets, and Makito One was purpose‑built to meet that challenge. With JPEG XS support, along with the flexibility and scalability to contribute video over any type of network for any type of workflow, we’re giving broadcast and production teams the freedom to adapt quickly without compromising performance.”  

Makito One is available from a compact single‑blade system to higher density 1RU and 4RU modular chassis that scale up to 18 hot‑swappable blades to provide up to 36 HD/4K encoding and decoding channels.
