nanocosmos Showcases Cloud-Based Chroma Key at IBC 2026

The tool runs on the same real-time pipeline behind nanocosmos’s MOQ (Media over QUIC) deployment, one of the first to reach commercial production worldwide, which has now passed a full year in live operation.

The Difference Is Where It Runs

Chroma key itself is decades old. What nanocosmos has changed is the location of the work: the compositing step moves out of the studio and into the cloud.

"Chroma key has been used for a long time. What’s new in our approach is doing it in the cloud: adding multiple backgrounds from one feed without building new studios," said Oliver Lietz, CEO and Founder of nanocosmos. "With a single ingest, we create an unlimited number of streams, entirely in the cloud, without adding hardware to the customer’s setup."

Because the green screen is removed server-side and replaced per output, one dealer in front of one green screen can appear in ten or more distinct environments at once: a beachside resort for one operator, a Monte Carlo penthouse for another, a VIP lounge for a third, all from the same live source.

Why Latency Decides It

In a live dealer game, timing is the product. A roulette ball in motion, a card being dealt, a betting window closing, all happen in a narrow window, and any compositing step between capture and delivery is a place where delay can build up.

nanocosmos treats chroma key processing and video delivery as one pipeline rather than separate stages. Running on the company’s MOQ-powered platform, every additional branded background reaches the viewer without added delay.

A Commercial Tool, Not Just an Effect

For live casino providers, the case is direct: more branded tables from the same studio footprint, faster operator onboarding, and no duplicated hardware or workflows for each new brand. Chroma key shifts from a visual effect to a way to scale a branded-table portfolio without scaling the studio behind it.

Cloud-Based Chroma Key is available now and can be tested at nanocosmos.net/nanostudio-chroma, or through a 30-day free trial. nanocosmos will be showing it at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam, 11-14 September.
