Haivision Makito X4 Encoder

Control and monitor Haivision Makito X4 Encoder devices from Companion via the device's REST API.

Configuration

Field	Description
Device IP	IP address of the Makito X4 Encoder.
Port	HTTPS/HTTP port. Use 443 for HTTPS (default); any other value uses HTTP.
Username	Device login (default admin).
Password	Device password.
Enable Polling	When on, the module periodically refreshes status, variables and feedbacks.
Poll Interval	How often to poll, in seconds (1–60, default 5).

The module authenticates with the device using a session cookie. Self-signed certificates are accepted. If the connection status stays red, double-check the IP, port, and credentials, then look at the connection log for details.

What you can do

Encoders (the X4 has four video encoders, shown as Encoder 1–4):

• Start, Stop, Toggle, and Restart each encoder.
• Set bitrate, resolution, framerate/GOP, and codec (H.264 / H.265).
• Show a live thumbnail of each encoder on a button.

Streams (UDP / RTP / SRT / RTSP):

• Create, Edit, and Delete streams.
• Start, Stop, Toggle, and Restart streams.

System presets (device .cfg configuration presets):

• Save, Load, Delete, Rename, Duplicate, set Startup preset, and toggle Autosave.

Device:

• Enable/disable the preview service, Reboot the device, and a Custom API Call action for any endpoint not covered above.

Variables, feedbacks and presets

The module exposes variables for device info, each encoder's state/codec/ bitrate/resolution/framerate/input, and up to ten streams. Feedbacks can color buttons by encoder state, bitrate comparison, resolution/framerate/codec match, connection status, and show encoder thumbnails. A set of ready-made presets is included under categories like Encoder Control, Encoder Settings, Encoder Thumbnails, System Presets, and Status.

Notes

• Destructive actions (Reboot, Delete Stream, Delete Preset) require ticking a Confirm checkbox before they run.
• Stream destinations are configured through the Create Stream / Edit Stream actions.
