By Light Announces New Chassis Based Version of Haivision’s Makito X HEVC/H.264 Encoder for the KLAS Telecom Voyager 8 Tactical Data Center (TDC)

By Light Professional IT Services LLC announced today the release of the HD-VX. The HD-VX seamlessly integrates Haivision’s Makito X HEVC/H.264 encoder into the KLAS Telecom Voyager 8 Tactical Data Center.

A fully standalone module, HD-VX provides a pluggable module containing the Makito X HEVC encoder, which reduces video bandwidth requirements by up to 50% while maintaining video quality when compared to H.264. With ultimate video streaming flexibility and low latency performance for ISR applications, the Makito X encoder with dual SDI inputs simultaneously supports both HEVC and H.264 encoding combined with industry leading KLV metadata capabilities, servicing both existing tactical H.264 video workflows and bandwidth efficient HEVC backhaul for centralized Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED).

With the HD-VX encoder module, new and existing users of the KLAS Voyager Tactical Data Center can easily augment the KLAS field deployable rugged units with low latency ISR video and metadata capabilities.

“HD-VX delivers a best-in-class ISR solution, fully integrated into the Voyager TDC - a solution already in use by many of our customers,” said Mel Marker, By Light’s Associate Vice President for RoIP Solutions. HD-VX can be ordered directly from By Light and is delivered as a fully functional Voyager 8 module.
