1 Mainstream

1 Mainstream was a cloud-based OTT (over-the-top) video streaming platform for content owners and distributors, enabling operators to launch live and on-demand video services across connected devices including iOS, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, game consoles, smart TVs, and Apple TV, with DRM (Widevine, PlayReady), multi-CDN control, subscriber management, entitlements, and a CMS-based analytics engine. Backed by Sky and DCM Ventures, the company was acquired by Cisco in October 2015 and folded into Cisco's Infinite Video suite of cloud-powered video entertainment solutions. The standalone 1mainstream.com domain no longer resolves; this profile is retained as a historical portfolio-lead record.

1 Mainstream is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Enterprise, Media, OTT, and Streaming.
