The versatile Miri V410 is user-configurable either as an encoder or as a decoder. It can encode one live 4K Ultra HD output at 60 frames per second or two simultaneous 2K QHD (2560x1440) channels. As a decoder, the device can decode two 4K Ultra HD streams concurrently from most supported source formats. Video input and output connections include HDMI, 3G-SDI and USB interfaces with embedded audio support.

For live streaming, the V410 can encode or decode H.264 or H.265 in 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 of those formats as well as NDI High Bandwidth. In encode mode, the V410 can even transcode from NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX2 or NDI HX3 IP inputs to streaming formats and protocols.

The Miri V410’s user-centric focus extends beyond its intuitive, browser-based web interface 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 tally light ring around the top of the unit and dedicated front-panel VU meters provide instant visibility of tally status and audio levels. Miri’s attention to detail is further exemplified by the convenient headphone jack on the front of the unit, enabling quick-connect audio monitoring even in dense rack-mount installations.

Continuing Miri’s core hallmark of robust network connectivity, the V410 features built-in Wi-Fi 7 – a first for 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 bonding router for maximum internet connectivity resilience and performance.

The space-efficient V410 measures 210mm by 142mm by 43.5mm (8.27 inches by 5.60 inches by 1.73 inches) and can be used on a desktop or in a rack. In addition to live streaming, content can also be recorded to files on a microSD card or external USB drive.
