Miri Technologies ships V410 4K unit with Wi-Fi 7 and NDI support

The V410 addresses the industry's shift toward hybrid IP-based production by merging professional features like 3G-SDI and NDI transcoding with consumer-grade ease of use. By including Wi-Fi 7 and OMT support, Miri is future-proofing for low-latency wireless environments and open-source transport standards that are becoming essential as budgets tighten and production becomes more decentralized. This dual-use hardware model reduces the equipment footprint for multi-site broadcasters and remote production teams. Watch for further adoption of OMT as an alternative to proprietary transport protocols in high-density live streaming environments.

The shipment of the V410 marks an expansion of Miri Technologies' footprint following the 2025 launch of its X510 bonding router, which used Speedify technology to combine up to 27 network connections. Per Miri’s June 2026 distribution agreement with Midwich, the company is aggressively targeting the North American pro-AV and broadcast markets to meet rising demand for 4K-capable IP infrastructure. This follows the V410’s recognition at the 2026 NAB Show, where it won a Product of the Year award in the Streaming category, underscoring a trend toward hardware that handles both contribution and distribution tasks.

Broadly, the industry is navigating a critical transition toward flexible, interoperable workflows. Per TVBEurope’s 2026 market analysis, streaming organizations are increasingly moving away from growth-at-all-costs models toward modular technology stacks that prioritize operational discipline and cost efficiency. The integration of high-efficiency codecs like HEVC and emerging protocols like NDI HX3 is central to this shift, as they allow high-quality video transport over standard 1-Gigabit networks rather than requiring proprietary 10GbE infrastructure.

Technological trends in 2026 also emphasize specialized wireless performance. As noted by industry reports from Net Insight and Netint, the rapid adoption of Wi-Fi 7 and the initial exploration of Wi-Fi 8 (802.11bn) are driven by the need for deterministic latency in real-time media applications. While GPUs still dominate hardware acceleration, about 49% of industry professionals are now evaluating VPU and ASIC-based solutions to optimize the power-to-performance ratio for 4K and 8K encoding. Miri's early adoption of Wi-Fi 7 places the V410 at the forefront of this shift toward ultra-reliable, high-capacity wireless production environments.
