V410: Miri's new 4K encoder/decoder combines power, flexibility and ease of use

Miri Technologies develops the V410 live 4K video encoder/decoder for streaming, IP-based production workflows, and AV over IP distribution.

Designed with special emphasis on its usability, the V410 combines intuitive user interfaces with rich functionality, a robust connectivity (including Wi-Fi 7) and support for flexible formats.

The Miri V410, which will make its world debut at the ISE 2026 fair from its European distributor Riwit, is user-configurable as an encoder or decoder. You can encode a Live 4K Ultra HD output at 60 frames per second o two 2K ​​QHD channels (2560×1440) simultaneous. As a set-top box, the device can decode two 4K Ultra HD streams simultaneously from most supported source formats. Video input and output connections include HDMI, 3G-SDI and USB interfaces with integrated audio support.

Ryan Brenneman, co-founder and CTO of Miri Technologies, says, "Encoding and decoding must be more than just formats and functions. An easy and efficient user experience is 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 satisfy experienced producers and media engineers."

For live streaming, the V410 can encode or decode H.264 or H.265 on a wide range of protocols, including SRT, RTMP, RTMPS, HLS, TS over UDP, and RTSP. For video over IP applications, the V410 can encode NDI HX2 or NDI HX3, and can decode both formats, as well as NDI High Bandwidth. In encoding mode, the V410 can even transcode from NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX2 or NDI HX3 IP inputs to streaming formats and protocols. Miri will also give ISE attendees a preview of upcoming support for the new OMT open source (Open Media Transport) and el V410.

Usability

He user-centered approach The Miri V410 goes beyond its intuitive browser-based web interface and extends to the physical design of the device. An LCD screen combines with front panel menu and shortcut buttons for easy monitoring and control. A large luminous ring around the top of the unit and dedicated front panel VU meters provide instant visibility of signal status and audio levels. Miri's attention to detail is also reflected in the convenient headphone jack located on the front of the unit, allowing for quick-connect audio monitoring even in dense rack-mount installations.

Continuing Miri's signature feature of offering robust network connectivity, the V410 features built-in Wi-Fi 7, a first in professional video encoding/decoding hardware, to maximize wireless performance even in crowded environments. Dual Gigabit Ethernet connections provide multi-LAN connectivity or redundancy, with Power over Ethernet (PoE) supported on one of the ports. And of course, the V410 can be paired with Miri's X510 Dual Cellular Link Router for maximum Internet connectivity endurance and performance.

The space-saving V410 measures 210 x 142 x 43.5 mm and can be used on a desktop or in a rack. In addition to live streaming, content can also be burn to files on a microSD card or USB drive externa.

"In a high-pressure production environment, small details can add up to make a big difference in simplifying operation, instilling confidence and reducing stress. From the carefully designed web user interface to the convenience of physical touchpoints, the V410 is designed to function just as users have always wanted their encoders or decoders to do," concludes Brenneman.
