nanocosmos unveils expanded real-time video platform at IBC 2026

German real-time video solutions provider nanocosmos is showcasing an expanded platform at IBC 2026, targeting businesses that depend on interactive, low-latency video rather than traditional broadcasting.

The Berlin-based company is presenting new and upgraded capabilities spanning real-time streaming, cloud-based production, security, analytics and artificial intelligence. The offering is aimed at sectors including live casino, auctions, corporate events and government services.

“Our customers have a clear need for real-time interaction to monetise their business,” said Oliver Lietz, CEO of nanocosmos. “Real-time is a must-have for them.”

A key element of the updated platform is Media over QUIC (MOQ), which has now been running in production at scale for more than a year. The nanoStream platform uses MOQ to provide ultra-low-latency streaming across major browsers, with a focus on resilience and large-scale operation.

nanocosmos has been developing audio and video technologies for more than 25 years and has focused on real-time video and ultra-low latency for the past decade. The company has combined its nanoStream streaming platform with nanoStudio, its cloud production environment, into an end-to-end offering covering production, delivery, playback, security and analytics.

The latest version of nanoStudio includes cloud-based chroma keying, allowing a single green-screen feed to be turned into multiple branded live streams. Each output can feature a different virtual environment, logo and partner integration, with processing performed server-side.

The platform also adds live replay to the nanoStream Player, enabling viewers to rewind a live stream and return to the live edge without leaving the viewing experience.

For operators that need to retain selected sections of live sessions, nanocosmos has introduced on-demand session recording. The company highlights regulated iGaming as one potential application, while also pointing to training use cases where individual moments from live sessions can be captured and reused.

AI features include real-time captions and translation in more than 45 languages. nanocosmos says these capabilities are designed to improve accessibility and extend live content to international audiences without adding latency.

Security and analytics have also been integrated into the platform. Token-based revocation is designed to provide immediate control over stream access, while real-time analytics provide information on viewer behaviour and playback quality.

The company is also preparing multi-camera switching for nanoStudio. The planned functionality will allow operators to switch live between multiple branded camera angles within a single cloud workflow. The feature is being developed with fast-paced applications such as roulette in mind, according to nanocosmos.

The company is positioning its European infrastructure as another differentiator: Data is processed within the EU, offering operators and institutions a GDPR-aligned alternative to non-European streaming platforms.

“Real-time” applications beyond conventional broadcasting are becoming an increasingly important focus for streaming technology providers as businesses use live video for interactive services, commerce, gaming and customer engagement. nanocosmos is seeking to address this market by combining low-latency delivery with production and monetisation-related functionality in a single platform.

nanocosmos will demonstrate its technology at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam from 11 to 14 September at booth 5.A34. The company will show MOQ-based streaming, nanoStudio Chroma Key, live replay and AI-powered captions and translation. It will also host its MOQTail Boat event on 13 September.
