VisualOn, Inc.
VisualOn is a Silicon Valley video software company that helps streaming services and device makers deliver and play back video across every screen. Founded in 2003, its multi-platform media player SDKs power more than 200 million devices, and its AI-driven Optimizer for content-adaptive encoding cuts streaming bitrates by up to 40% on average while preserving picture quality. The company sits in the plumbing of online video - the codecs, players, DRM, and analytics that most viewers never see but rely on every time they press play.
Mux
Mux is the video API for developers. The San Francisco company gives engineers a simple set of endpoints for live streaming, on-demand video, encoding, playback, and quality-of-experience analytics, so they can ship video features without rebuilding the streaming stack from scratch.
