MAKO-HD
The lowest latency H.264 codec available, specifically designed for the challenges of telepresence and interactive broadcast contribution.
The MAKO-HDTM for the hai1000TM series multi-stream encoder systems defines a new era of video communications where latency is imperceptible and full motion image quality is pristine. Ideally suited for the demands of telepresence, medical, and interactive broadcast applications, the MAKO-HD supports up to 1080p high definition with 70 milliseconds of end to end latency. This is the lowest latency ever achieved by an H.264 codec system providing truly interactive sessions between remote sites.
Designed using revolutionary encoding technology the MAKO-HD delivers ultimate high definition video quality, super wideband audio, and even computer graphics content over common networks. Some latency is introduced in any video encoding process, but the key is to strive to limit the latency in order to provide seamless communication. Systems that contain excessive delay (traditional conferencing systems and satellite based systems observed in remote news broadcast for example) lead to extremely poor communications and dramatic fatigue. As a result such systems can only be used for very short durations. With MAKO-HD equipped hai1000 systems, "zero latency" high definition communications is now readily available for telepresence conferencing, medical training and consultation, and interactive broadcast solutions. "Zero latency" can be considered within systems that operate assuring hand eye coordination (below 90ms) or operating within a blink of an eye (100 ms). The MAKO-HD performs at least 5 to 10 times faster than traditional conferencing codecs and "low latency" broadcast encoders.
The MAKO-HD achieves its revolutionary latency performance though the implementation of Progressive Encoding technology. Unlike other video encoders that need to await a number a frames in order to commence the encoding process, HaiVision's Progressive Encoding engine starts encoding well before the first frame has even been completely delivered.
The MAKO-HD is unlike traditional video conferencing codecs. The MAKO-HD supports full frame rate, high definition video, critical when any scene motion is introduced. The MAKO-HD provides 100% fluid results. The MAKO-HD also supports all major HD standards up to and including 1080p at video bit rates from below 1Mbps to 10 Mbps. To achieve the highest quality video given any particular bandwidth constraints and content requirements, the MAKO-HD allows full control over the encoding parameters.
Incorporating industry standard compression, encapsulation, and signaling protocols such as H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC or MPEG-4 part 10) video, AAC audio, Transport Stream, and SIP, the MAKO-HD not only enables the highest caliber of video communications, but also, where needed, provides simple integration with low cost set top box decode appliance, soft players, QuickTimeTM and QuickTime Streaming ServersTM (QTSS) environments, storage systems, and, through INVITATION, traditional video conferencing systems. Designing communication infrastructure around HaiVision's MAKO-HD enables clients to leverage the true power and ubiquity of IP video.
