LAS VEGAS - April 29, 2026 — creative.space Intelligence (CSI), part of the creative.space Platform developed by DigitalGlue, has received Future’s Best of Show Award, presented at the 2026 NAB Show by TV Tech.
Future’s Best of Show Awards are evaluated by a panel of engineers and industry experts. Criteria for selection includes innovation, feature set, perceived value and application in serving the industry.
“The products nominated for the Best of Show program provide an outstanding overview of new technology on the show floor and shine a spotlight on the very best,” said the awards editorial team.
Making its debut at NAB Show 2026, CSI was recognized for addressing one of the biggest challenges in modern media production: the growing volume of content that remains unused due to the time required to find it.
Creative teams are sitting on massive libraries of footage, but most of it is effectively invisible. Content is stored, but not understood. Editors spend hours digging through folders, scrubbing timelines, or relying on incomplete tags just to find the right shot, quote, or moment. As libraries grow, that inefficiency compounds, slowing down production, limiting reuse, and leaving valuable content untouched.
The newest addition to DigitalGlue’s creative.space Platform, CSI addresses this by automatically analyzing video libraries and transforming media into searchable, structured information. Using natural language, teams can instantly locate people, quotes, topics, logos, or specific moments across entire archives without manual tagging, spreadsheets, or fragmented search workflows.
Beyond discovery, CSI reduces the time it takes to turn footage into usable content. Instead of starting from scratch, editors can generate rough cuts, stringouts, and alternate versions based on intent, not just file names or metadata. Its conversational interface reflects how creative teams already think and communicate, helping move projects from ingest to first draft faster while making better use of the content they already have.
“We’re honored that CSI has been recognized with a Best of Show Award from TV Tech,” said Tim Anderson, CEO/CTO at DigitalGlue. “We designed CSI to solve a real industry problem - turning 'dark data' into creative capital. We are delighted the judges recognized the extraordinary value it brings to creatives who can spend less time searching and more time creating.”
