READING, PA — A Pennsylvania-based technology firm is aiming to simplify the increasingly complex world of live video production with the launch of a new 4K encoder/decoder designed to serve both seasoned engineers and less-technical users operating in high-pressure environments.
Miri Technologies Inc. announced the release of its V410 live 4K video encoder/decoder, a compact device built for streaming, IP-based production workflows, and AV-over-IP distribution. The company said the product emphasizes usability as much as technical performance, blending advanced features with intuitive controls.
The V410 will make its global trade show debut at ISE 2026, scheduled for February 3 through February 6 in Barcelona, where it will be showcased at stand 4G550 alongside Miri’s European master distributor, Riwit.
Ryan Brenneman, Miri’s co-founder and chief technology officer, said the device was designed to reduce friction in live production environments, where reliability and ease of use can be just as critical as raw technical specifications.
The V410 is user-configurable as either an encoder or a decoder. In encoder mode, it can process one live 4K Ultra HD signal at up to 60 frames per second or handle two simultaneous 2K QHD streams. In decoder mode, the unit can decode two 4K Ultra HD streams concurrently from a range of supported formats.
Connectivity options include HDMI, 3G-SDI, and USB video interfaces with embedded audio support. For streaming workflows, the V410 supports H.264 and H.265 encoding and decoding across protocols such as SRT, RTMP, RTMPS, HLS, TS over UDP, and RTSP.
For video-over-IP applications, the device can encode and decode NDI HX2 and NDI HX3 formats and decode NDI High Bandwidth streams. In encoder mode, it can also transcode from NDI High Bandwidth and NDI HX formats to streaming protocols, expanding its role as a bridge between IP-based and traditional streaming workflows.
Miri said it plans to add support for the emerging Open Media Transport protocol in a future update, offering ISE attendees an early preview of that capability.
The company also highlighted the V410’s physical design, which includes a front-mounted LCD screen, menu and shortcut buttons, a prominent tally light ring, dedicated VU meters, and a front-panel headphone jack for quick audio monitoring. The unit can be used on a desktop or mounted in a rack and measures roughly 8.3 by 5.6 by 1.7 inches.
Network connectivity is a central feature of the device. The V410 includes built-in Wi-Fi 7 — which Miri says is a first for professional video encoding and decoding hardware — along with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports that support multi-network configurations or redundancy. One Ethernet port supports Power over Ethernet. The unit can also be paired with Miri’s X510 dual-cellular bonding router to increase network resilience.
In addition to live streaming, the V410 can record content locally to a microSD card or an external USB drive.
Brenneman said the company focused on reducing operational stress in live production settings, arguing that small design choices can have an outsized impact when systems are under pressure.
The V410 marks Miri’s latest push to position itself as a player in professional video transport by prioritizing flexibility, reliability, and ease of use in an industry often defined by technical complexity.
