Makito ONE Platform Brings JPEG XS to High-End Sports Production Workflows

Haivision's demonstration of JPEG XS encoding and decoding on the Makito ONE video transport platform targets high-performance broadcast contribution. According to the release, the implementation delivers visually lossless compression and sub-frame latency, characteristics the company states are critical for real-time production switching, replay operations, and centralised referee review systems. The technology addresses camera feed transport over managed IP networks, where precise timing, consistent colour accuracy, and frame-accurate synchronisation are required — workflows increasingly common in high-end remote sports production environments.

Haivision Hub 360 Gains AI-Powered Configuration for Newsgathering Teams

The second demonstration features new AI-powered device configuration capabilities integrated into Haivision Hub 360, described in the release as a unified cloud master control environment. The system is designed to assist with setup, monitoring, and optimisation of video encoders, mobile transmitters, and IP gateways. Haivision states the capability is particularly relevant in newsgathering workflows where non-technical users must capture live video content, as well as in remote production environments where teams manage large numbers of devices across diverse use cases. No pricing or deployment timelines were disclosed.

Haivision's Broadcast Technology Credentials and IBC2026 Presence

The release notes that Haivision has been awarded four Emmy® Awards for Technology and Engineering from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and open-sourced its SRT low-latency video streaming protocol, founding the SRT Alliance to support its broader adoption. The company operates across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. These demonstrations form part of a broader IBC2026 presence that also includes a joint remote production demonstration with EVS involving 5G cellular video transmission and a partnership announcement with Cyanview for integrated camera control on the Falkon X4 mobile transmitter, both disclosed in separate releases.
