Pair a Makito X4 Encoder

Updated

Before powering up the Makito for the first time, please do the following:

  1. Unbox the Makito and place it in your production rack (or location where it will be used)
  2. Connect an SDI video signal to the Makito
  3. Connect a Network cable into the "Network" port
  4. Verify that the unit is at room temperature
  5. DO THIS LAST! Plug in the power cable. The Makito will automatically begin to power up.

To configure the Makito, you will need:

  • A computer that is on the same network and subnet as the Makito in order to access the Makito UI.
  • A separate window/tab on that same computer that is logged into the Sardius Control Panel.

Information on how to access the Makito's UI and other startup recommendations are available by clicking here: https://doc.haivision.com/MakitoX4Enc1.6.1/makito-x4-encoder-quick-start-guide/access-the-web-interface
