Case Study: Rural Media Group achieves rock-solid low-latency remote production with Haivision Makito X

Rural Media Group cuts remote production latency to under 1 second with Haivision

Rural Media Group, a leading multimedia provider for rural and western lifestyle content, needed a cost-effective solution for remote camera control between its studios in Fort Worth and Nashville. They sought to avoid expensive fiber and find a secure, reliable way to transport video over IP. Partnering with Haivision, they implemented a solution using Makito X video encoders and decoders.

The Haivision solution provided a low-latency, reliable video transport using the SRT protocol over the public internet. This enabled successful remote broadcasts of major events like Cheyenne Frontier Days with latency under one second. The result was significant cost savings, operational efficiency, and a robust, frame-accurate signal that allowed Rural Media Group to expand its use of the technology for future projects.
