THE SOURCE
Index
Struggling to find the media you’re looking for? Tired of waiting for your index to update?
Nara provides media-specific metadata for fast search and access while its advanced, native API indexing system ensures your index and storage are always in sync.
Access
Tired of hunting through lists of files, unable to find what you’re looking for? Fed up with downloading the wrong files or being denied access to the media you need?
Nara provides a web-based media browser which allows for streamlined browsing with minimum risk. Each file is presented with a thumbnail and associated metadata for informed searching of media assets – all while leveraging industry-leading, enterprise-level security authentication to provide secure media access.
Stream
Wishing you could just hit play on any media, regardless of size or format? And that you could guarantee the files you’re viewing are colour accurate?
Nara’s web-based media streaming offers the most colour-accurate playback. It natively decodes and streams over 160+ media codecs remotely and accurately in a web-browser, without the need to transcode to proxy files – enabling faster and precise media streaming.

How does Nara benefit me?
Nara will allow you and your team to maximise efficiency by providing instant search and find tools, as well as accurate, bandwidth-friendly streaming of any media file you can imagine irrespective of its encoding or format. This allows you to seamlessly share and collaborate on the media at hand, without having to jump through the regular workflow ‘hoops’ that plague our industry today.
Is Nara supported in the cloud?
Currently, Nara is an on premise solution but Nara in the cloud will be available at some point later this year.
Can I deploy my own hardware?
We do allow customers to deploy their own hardware. However, as we have very strict hardware requirements we would always recommend purchasing the hardware through us or one of our sales partners.
How many users can stream at the same time?
Each Nara appliance is limited to five simultaneous streams; however, you can deploy an unlimited number of Nara appliances.
