German streaming technology provider nanocosmos has announced a major expansion of its nanoStream platform, positioning it as a fully integrated real‑time video solution that combines delivery, AI‑powered enhancement and advanced security.
The Berlin-based company detailed the upgrades ahead of its presence at trade show NAB 2026. The platform – widely used in interactive, ultra‑low‑latency environments such as live casino, auctions and live events – now incorporates server‑side chroma keying, full Media over QUIC (MOQ) browser support and a strengthened security layer. According to nanocosmos, the developments reflect more than 25 years of collaboration with customers operating real‑time production workflows.
“Real‑time video in production environments demands much more than a great delivery technology alone,” said nanocosmos CEO Oliver Lietz. “Our customers showed us they needed security, analytics and enhancement tools with AI support – so we built all of that in, core by core.”
The new virtual background feature (pictured) is handled entirely on the server, removing the need for client‑side software. A single production setup can output multiple branded variants of the same stream, a scenario common in live casino operations or multi‑market deployments. Because processing happens in the cloud, output quality remains consistent regardless of the viewer’s device or capture conditions, stresses nanocosmos.
The feature is part of nanoStream Studio, the platform’s AI‑driven enhancement module.
According to the company, which introduced MOQ into live production at global scale in 2025, the protocol is now supported across all major browsers, including Safari, without requiring any changes from viewers.
MOQ is designed to improve resilience under fluctuating network conditions and reduce effective latency compared with legacy transport protocols. Combined with the company’s global CDN and sub‑500ms delivery, the rollout makes the technology universally accessible.
nanocosmos is also an active contributor to the OpenMOQ initiative.
The platform’s security suite, nanoStream Control, has been expanded with new tools for prevention, detection and response. The tools, which include enhanced IP and CIDR filtering, real‑time anomaly alerts, token revocation and the ability to terminate active sessions, are designed for operators whose revenue or proprietary content could be compromised by a single unauthorised stream.
