At IBC2025, Nara was a recipient of Future’s Best of Show Award, presented by TVBEurope. Evaluated by a panel of engineers and industry experts, the Best of Show Awards are selected based on innovation, feature set, perceived value and application in serving the industry.
Nara enables creatives working with large media files to maximise efficiency by providing instant search tools, as well as accurate, bandwidth-friendly streaming of any media file, irrespective of its encoding or format (supporting 160+ formats, including all camera RAW files). This allows users to seamlessly share and collaborate on the media at hand, without having to jump through common workflow ‘hoops’ we see in the industry today – saving facilities valuable time and money in the creative process.
“The products nominated for the Best of Show program, provide an outstanding overview of new technology at the show and recognise the very best broadcast and AV products and solutions on display at IBC – shining a spotlight on the very best,” said the awards editorial team.
“We’re delighted to see Nara recognised by TVBEurope with a Best of Show Award,” says Sam Lempp, Head of Business Development for Nara at FilmLight. “In today’s media industry, massive and complex image files are the norm – whether they’re RAW camera codecs, EXR files used in visual effects, or DCP formats for theatrical distribution. These media formats contain a wealth of information which often leads to hefty file sizes and intricate and expensive workflows. We introduced Nara to help solve this challenge – totally transforming how media is accessed, reviewed and processed.”
