Makito Decoder Setup Checklist

Congratulations on selecting an Makito decoder for your facility. This checklist will guide you through the complete process of getting your Makito set up.

Start with this list and follow these items in order to properly setup your decoder. If you like, you can print this page or download this handy PDF.

• Coordinate with your IT Department or Network Engineer to obtain the following:

• Static IP for the decoder
• Recommended Subnet, Gateway, and DNS settings
• Review any Port Forwarding rules that need to be created with a Network Administrator
  
  

• Place the Makito in your production rack (or the location where it will be used)
• Verify the Makito is at room temperature
  
  

• Connect an ethernet cable to the network port on the back of the Makito
• Connect a 3G-SDI cable to the SDI cable output
• If your Makito is a 2-channel or 4-channel unit, use one of the provided SDI to Micro SDI conversion cables to connect your SDI cable to the Makito
• Continue connecting 3G-SDI cables to the Makito as desired for additional outputs
• Store any unused converters in a secure location, or attach them to the remaining outputs on the back of the Makito
• LAST: Plug your power cable(s) into the back of the decoder and then into your primary power source. We recommend that you plug this into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that is powered by your facility’s primary power.
  
  

• Using a computer that is on the same network and subnet as the Makito, open a browser window.
• Enter 10.5.1.2 into the address bar and hit enter
• If you get a message saying the site cannot be accessed, make the following adjustments to the computer’s network settings:
  • IP Address: 10.5.1.10
  • Subnet: 255.255.0.0
  • Gateway: 10.5.0.1
• The computer might alert you that the connection is not private. Go ahead and proceed to the site.
• Log into the Makito
  • Username: admin
  • Password: manager
    
    

• Navigate to the Network Settings screen
• If you received Static IP details from your IT Department, enter the new IP Address, Subnet, and Gateway here
• Add at least one DNS setting
  • You can use any of the following public DNS servers:
    8.8.8.8 -- 1.1.1.1 -- 208.67.222.222
    8.8.4.4 -- 1.0.0.1 -- 208.67.220.220
• Click “Apply” and reboot the Makito
• Allow 2 minutes for the reboot to complete
  
  

• Open a new browser or tab and enter in the new IP address for the Makito
• Use the username and password above to log in.
• If you are unable to access the Makito, contact your IT Administrator or Network Specialist for assistance
  
  

• Email support@sardius.media to schedule a complimentary training and configuration session
