At this year’s 2026 NAB Show, Haivision brought strong momentum to the show floor, unveiling new innovations in live video contribution alongside key partnerships and real-world deployments shaping modern broadcast workflows.
Throughout NAB Show, the Haivision team demonstrated how broadcasters can deliver high-quality, ultra-low latency live video from virtually anywhere, with solutions designed for the realities of today’s fast-moving production environments.
From next-generation encoding and mobile transmission to private 5G connectivity and large-scale sports production, Haivision showcased how flexible, reliable, and IP-based workflows are powering the future of live production.
Introducing Makito ONE: A New Era of Video Transport
A key highlight at the show was the debut of the Makito ONE video transport platform.
Designed as a flexible, single-blade solution, Makito ONE combines dual-channel encoding and decoding in one device. Supporting ultra-low latency 4K and HD video, with H.264, HEVC, and JPEG XS codecs, as well as SDI and SMPTE ST 2110 connectivity, it is built to simplify deployment and support evolving broadcast workflows.
With Makito ONE, Haivision has redefined broadcast contribution with an all-in-one platform that gives broadcasters the flexibility and scalability to adapt to specific needs in the field, support evolving production capabilities, and maximize efficiency across diverse production environments.
Falkon X4: Ultra-Reliable 5G Video Contribution
Falkon X4 delivers robust, uninterrupted connectivity, even in congested network environments, making it the ideal solution for capturing content with dynamic camera angles from virtually any location and bringing audiences into the story like never before.
With its portable design and advanced connectivity, Falkon X4 enables broadcasters to capture live video with dynamic camera angles from virtually any location and bringing audiences closer to the action. Together, Makito ONE and Falkon X4 reinforce Haivision’s commitment to delivering ultra-low latency, high-performance solutions for live sports, news, and events.
An Award-Winning 2026 NAB Show
Makito ONE received multiple awards at the 2026 NAB Show, including the NAB Show Product of the Year Award for the Remote/Live Production category. It also was honored with the Best of Show Awards from TVTech and TVBEurope.
These awards recognize the innovation and purpose behind the Makito ONE platform. As broadcasters are asked to produce more live content, across more locations and with tighter budgets, and Makito ONE was purpose‑built to meet that challenge.
Powering Live Sports with Minor League Baseball
Another major milestone highlighted at NAB Show was Haivision’s partnership with Minor League Baseball (MiLB).
As the Official Video Encoder of MiLB, Haivision is supporting a large-scale live production ecosystem spanning over 120 teams and more than 8,000 games per season. With dozens of simultaneous live feeds on peak days, the deployment underscores the importance of reliable, scalable, and low-latency video contribution.
Powered by Haivision’s video encoding technologies, this collaboration enables seamless delivery of live games to broadcasters, streaming platforms, and fans across North America.
Enabling Private 5G Workflows with Riedel Communications
At the booth, Haivision also demonstrated the power of private 5G in collaboration with Riedel Communications.
Using Riedel’s Easy5G solution alongside Haivision’s mobile video encoders, the live demo showcased ultra-low latency wireless camera workflows over a private 5G network. This integration highlights how broadcasters can achieve greater flexibility, mobility, and reliability without relying solely on traditional infrastructure.
Key Takeaways from the 2026 NAB Show
From major product launches to real-world deployments and ecosystem partnerships, Haivision’s presence at the 2026 NAB Show showed how broadcasters are adapting to more dynamic, distributed production environments.
