Autodesk^® WiretapCentral^™ is a fully integrated Web application that provides interactive access to all media assets in your facility network. It presents editorial, visual effects, and grading assets stored on any network-accessible Stone filesystem or standard filesystem framestore.

The intuitive Web interface eliminates the need to be at an Autodesk creative workstation to import, play, encode media, or to submit and monitor background jobs. This allows the artist to offload media management and transcoding, and stay focused on creative tasks.

WiretapCentral straddles several different technologies, including Autodesk Visual Effects, Finishing and Colour Grading workstations, low-bandwidth Web video, and several different networking and collaboration protocols and tools.

WiretapCentral enables you to directly import REDCODE RAW and multi-channel OpenEXR files by leveraging the Autodesk^® Wiretap^® Gateway.

When importing media, WiretapCentral can use Autodesk^® Backburner^™ distributed background processing to maximize efficiency.
