Nara has a unique ability to support every media file format under the sun (almost). Supporting 160+ codecs and formats, including Camera RAW (OCF), intermediary files like EXR, TIFF, JPG as well as complex deliverables like IMF, DCP and Dolby Vision mastered files – all without the need to transcode the media beforehand. It also supports standard web friendly formats like MOV and MP4. This feature makes Nara unique in its available applications, as it can be introduced as a tool at any stage in the pipeline.

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 results in large amounts of data, but this abundance of data often leads to hefty file sizes and intricate workflows. Teams must store, process, and track these files through multiple project stages, which demands robust infrastructure, significant expertise, and sizeable budgets.

With Nara’s media engine these struggles are no longer an issue.
