Introducing Chronostream — More Video. Less Hardware.
The way we think about video infrastructure needs to change.

The way we think about video infrastructure needs to change. For years, growth in Catch-up TV, Cloud DVR and time-shifted viewing has usually meant the same thing:
More viewers → more storage → more servers → more power → more cost.
At More Screens, we wanted to challenge that equation.
At IBC 2026, we are introducing Chronostream — our new patent-pending video storage technology, engineered specifically for demanding video workloads.
Chronostream combines standard enterprise hardware with an optimized storage and I/O architecture and a video-tuned operating environment.
The result:
Up to ~3× higher effective video read, write and delivery performance
compared with comparable standard storage configurations, based on our current internal testing and real-world implementations.
But the benchmark itself is not the most important part.
The real question is:
What does this do to the cost of every hour watched?
This is where Chronostream connects directly with a metric we believe will become increasingly important for streaming businesses:
Cost per Viewer Hour — CVH.
If the same infrastructure can record more channels, retain more content and serve more concurrent viewers, operators can reduce the infrastructure cost associated with every hour of video consumed.
That means:
Fewer servers. Less power and cooling. Less rack space. Less maintenance. Longer hardware lifecycle. Lower CAPEX and TCO. Lower CVH.
And Chronostream does not necessarily mean replacing your existing infrastructure.
It can be deployed as a software layer on qualified existing storage, helping operators extract substantially more value from hardware they already own. Or it can be delivered as a fully integrated Chronostream appliance, on-premises or in suitable cloud environments.
The technology is already running in real operator environments, and a patent application has been filed for key elements of the Chronostream architecture.
At IBC, we want to change the conversation.
Instead of asking: “How many more servers do we need?” we should be asking:
“How much more video can we deliver from the infrastructure we already have?”
