Haivision Announces Extremely Small Footprint Low Latency HD HEVC/H.264 MX1 Video Encoder Board for Embedded ISR Sensors, Datalinks, and Mission Systems

MONTREAL, Canada, Sept. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Haivision, a leader in video streaming solutions, today announced the Makito MX1 Rugged OEM video encoder board, an extremely small form factor, high performance, embeddable HD encoder for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), and defense applications. The MX1 OEM board is a single board design measuring just 58mm by 66mm and brings ultra low latency H.265/HEVC and H.264/AVC video capabilities to sensors, datalinks, and mission systems for ISR and full motion video (FMV) applications.

The MX1 includes the latest H.265/HEVC video encoding algorithms to deliver the highest quality over constrained IP networks, line-of-sight (LOS) radios and satellite links. The MX1 also features Network Adaptive Encoding which adjusts the video bitrate dynamically to provide the best video quality possible even during network congestion events or when available network bandwidth is variable or unpredictable. The MX1 has two flexible encoding cores and can deliver video with Key-Length-Value (KLV) metadata to remote processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED) systems over bandwidth-constrained networks using H.265/HEVC and to higher bandwidth local tactical networks requiring H.264/AVC-based compatibility at the same time.

Weighing a mere 45g and consuming less than 8 watts, the MX1 board is ideal for integration within lightweight portable platforms, vehicles, drones, cameras/sensors, radios/datalinks, and wearable technology.

The MX1 builds on Haivision's expertise in delivering MISB/STANAG compliant video encoders. The MX1 can insert, aggregate and filter synchronous or asynchronous KLV metadata streams from multiple sources, assuring that available network bandwidth is used optimally.

"To satisfy the growing need for more situational video, systems are getting smaller and they need to be heavily integrated," said John Leipper, Director of Product Strategy, Defense, at Haivision. "The MX1 board provides the full capabilities of our commercial off the shelf appliance at a fraction of its size and weight."
