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.

Miri Technologies is a relatively new entrant in the hardware video encoder space, and the V410's feature set places it in direct competition with established players in the compact 4K encoder/decoder category. The device's combination of SRT, NDI, and H.265 support with Wi-Fi 7 connectivity targets the same production workflows that have driven demand for units from companies like Kiloview, Magewell, and LiveU. However, no independent third-party reviews or deployment case studies for the V410 have surfaced in trade press as of this writing, making it difficult to assess real-world performance claims against competitors.

The inclusion of NDI transcoding alongside traditional broadcast protocols like 3G-SDI positions the V410 within the growing category of hybrid IP/SDI bridge devices that production teams use to connect legacy equipment to IP-based workflows. NDI 6, released in April 2024, introduced native HDR support and embedded WAN connectivity through an NDI Bridge utility for hardware, enabling devices to send encrypted NDI streams over a WAN without depending on additional software. Beta testing involved product developers including Kiloview, Lumens, Matrox, Panasonic, and Vizrt, signaling broad hardware ecosystem adoption. For a device like the V410 that includes NDI as both input and output, NDI 6's Bridge utility means potential integration into remote production chains without requiring dedicated NDI hardware at every endpoint.

NDI's evolution from a LAN-only protocol to one supporting WAN and remote workflows has direct implications for hardware encoders that include NDI support. The NDI Bridge deployment documentation notes that a wired Ethernet connection is strongly recommended for stable performance in professional environments, though NDI Bridge can function over Wi-Fi if the network is reliable. This context is relevant to Miri's decision to include both Wi-Fi 7 and dual Gigabit Ethernet on the V410, as professional users will likely treat wired connections as primary and wireless as a secondary or backup path.
