Miri V410 Aims to Reshape 4K Streaming with Wi-Fi 7 and Simplicity

READING, PA – January 26, 2026 – Miri Technologies today launched the V410, a versatile 4K video encoder and decoder that signals a deliberate push to merge high-end technical specifications with a user-centric design philosophy. The new device enters a competitive market with a clear mission: to simplify complex IP-based production and AV-over-IP workflows for a wider range of users, from seasoned engineers to non-technical volunteers.

Set for its public debut at ISE 2026 in Barcelona, the V410 is not merely an iteration on existing technology. It arrives as the first professional video hardware of its kind to integrate Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, while also packing a comprehensive suite of features aimed at addressing the practical, day-to-day challenges of live production.

Bridging the Pro-Level and the Practical

At the core of the V410's design is a focus on usability, a factor often overlooked in a market segment driven by technical specifications. Miri Technologies appears to be betting that a more intuitive user experience can be as valuable as raw performance.

"Encoding and decoding should be about more than just formats and features," said Ryan Brenneman, Co-Founder and CTO of Miri Technologies, in the company's announcement. "An easy and efficient user experience is just as important as specifications. The Miri V410 encoder/decoder is designed to be simple enough for less-technical users and volunteers but offers deep enough controls and advanced capabilities to delight experienced producers and media engineers."

This philosophy is evident in the V410's physical design. The unit features a front-panel LCD screen with menu and shortcut buttons, allowing for quick configuration and status checks without needing to access a web browser. Further enhancing at-a-glance monitoring, a large tally light ring on the top of the device and dedicated front-panel VU meters provide instant visual feedback on program status and audio levels. Miri’s attention to detail extends to the inclusion of a front-mounted headphone jack, a seemingly small convenience that proves invaluable for quick audio checks in dense rack-mount installations where rear-panel access is cumbersome.

This approach aims to lower the barrier to entry for organizations like houses of worship, educational institutions, and corporate AV departments that may lack dedicated broadcast engineers but still require reliable, high-quality 4K streaming capabilities.

Future-Proofing Connectivity with Wi-Fi 7 and IP Flexibility

While prioritizing ease of use, the V410 makes no compromises on its technical foundation. Its most notable feature is the inclusion of built-in Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be), a significant leap forward in wireless technology. This makes the V410 the first professional encoder/decoder to adopt the new standard, promising tangible benefits for wireless production workflows.

Wi-Fi 7 offers substantially higher throughput and lower latency than its predecessors, with theoretical speeds up to 46 Gbps and latency potentially dropping below 5 milliseconds. It also introduces Multi-Link Operation (MLO), which allows the device to use multiple frequency bands simultaneously, dramatically improving reliability and performance in the crowded wireless spectrums common at live events and in busy production facilities.

Beyond its wireless prowess, the V410 provides robust wired connectivity. It includes dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for network redundancy or multi-LAN configurations, with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support on one port to simplify cabling. For ultimate network resilience, the device can be paired with Miri’s X510 dual-cellular bonding router, ensuring a stable internet connection even in challenging remote locations.

A Strategic Approach to a Fragmented IP Landscape

The modern video production landscape is a complex web of competing IP standards. The V410 navigates this by offering broad and flexible protocol support, positioning it as a versatile hub for nearly any workflow.

For contribution and streaming, the device can encode or decode H.264 and H.265 video using a wide array of protocols, including the reliable SRT, the ubiquitous RTMP/RTMPS, and HLS. This ensures compatibility with virtually all major streaming platforms and content delivery networks.

In the realm of AV-over-IP, the V410 demonstrates a strategic embrace of both established and emerging standards. It offers comprehensive support for the NDI® ecosystem, a dominant force in IP-based production. The device can encode to NDI HX2 and HX3, decode both of those formats as well as the full-bandwidth NDI High Bandwidth, and even transcode NDI inputs directly to streaming formats. This deep integration makes it a powerful tool for facilities already invested in the NDI ecosystem.

Looking to the future, Miri has also announced upcoming support for the Open Media Transport (OMT) protocol. OMT is an open-source, royalty-free challenger to proprietary standards, designed for ultra-low latency and efficient performance on standard networking hardware. By planning to adopt OMT, Miri positions the V410 as a forward-looking investment, giving users a pathway to vendor-neutral workflows without being locked into a single ecosystem. This dual-standard strategy—supporting the dominant player today while preparing for the open-source alternative of tomorrow—is a shrewd move in a market valued at over $2.7 billion.

Performance and Power in a Compact Package

Underpinning its user-friendly and connected features is a powerful and flexible core. As an encoder, the V410 can handle a single 4K Ultra HD stream at a fluid 60 frames per second or two simultaneous 2K QHD (2560x1440) channels from a single input. When configured as a decoder, its capabilities expand, allowing it to concurrently decode two separate 4K UHD streams from most supported formats.

The device is equipped with professional I/O, including both HDMI and 3G-SDI inputs and outputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cameras, switchers, and displays. For local recording or backup, content can be captured directly to a microSD card or an external USB drive. All of this functionality is housed in a compact, space-efficient chassis measuring just over 8 inches wide, suitable for desktop use or rack-mounting with an optional accessory.

By combining this powerful feature set with a clear focus on simplifying the user experience, Miri Technologies is making a compelling case that professional-grade tools don't have to be intimidating. As Brenneman concluded, "From the carefully crafted web user interface to the convenience of the physical touchpoints, the V410 is designed to work the way users always wished their encoder or decoder would."
