Oliver Lietz: “The Key to Live Streaming Platform Success in Germany Is Ultra-Low Latency”
Oliver Lietz founded nanocosmos in 1998 with a strong background in video R&D for video/audio coding and streaming for the broadcast industry. Since then he has been focusing on developing solutions that integrate video technology into custom business applications. This includes innovation of new technologies like H5Live for low latency live streaming, now part of nanoStream Cloud. His approach has always been building up trustful long-term customer relations. Oliver studied Electrical Engineering at Technische Universität Berlin and has founded other companies and helped startups getting their streaming applications successfully deployed.
Streaming Media: Tell us a little about the background of your company.
nanoStream Cloud enables audience participation and interaction. It is an end-to-end solution that delivers a unique combination of software, global CDN services, unique delivery protocol and live player (nanoPlayer) including ABR and Live Stream Analytics.
Streaming Media: What are your current markets and use cases?
Deutsche Bahn, the German railway corporation, used our solution to engage local citizens with development projects in a timely fashion, complying with legal regulations despite the pandemic lockdown.
Another interesting use case is live music and theatre. A music event company that we are working with is hosting interactive live concerts where viewers can discuss and cheer, or request their favourite songs and donate money. Some of our customers rely on the highest quality studio-grade video input like Full HD High Profile video which they use with professional live encoder soft- or hardware; others just use browser based webcasting applications to seamlessly integrate into their web apps. With our new product nanoMeet, integrated with nanoStream Cloud, you can now integrate a virtual meeting scenario to share with large audiences.
Streaming Media: What new developments can you tell us about?
The recent major addition is nanoMeet, a browser-based video conferencing and collaboration platform which integrates with nanoStream Cloud for seamless interactive live streaming. This is ideal for businesses and anyone looking to address large numbers of people. Where video conferencing meets ULL live streaming – you can think of it as a result of this synergy.
