Device Limitations

The Haivision Makito X doesn't support RTMPS (RTMP over TLS/SSL), meaning you cannot stream (directly) to platforms like Facebook or Cloudflare who require RTMPS. (A Haivision Support representative stated on their support portal that there are no plans to add RTMPS support on the Makito X Encoder).
