Autodesk Developer Network
Autodesk® Developer Network (ADN) Sparks developers are dedicated to building highly optimized pipelines and inventing new Autodesk systems software-compatible tools for in-house and commercial use.
Affiliate Software Partners
Autodesk Media & Entertainment software partners offer Autodesk® Wiretap™-enabled tools and applications that ease and extend Autodesk systems integration into existing post-production pipelines.
Instinctual Software: shrink / tether
shrink is an encoding application geared for Flame and the post-production industry. tether enables access to clips on Autodesk® Stone® arrays in any QuickTime application and provides the ability to transfer any QuickTime-readable file into the Stone file system. |
Creative Technology: C>me
Creative Technology presents C>me, an interface program to Autodesk systems software. C>me is a Windows XP-based program which opens any Stone media to any Windows or Macintosh platform, and does not require the media to be copied for external processing. C>me can upload, download, and cross-load media between legacy Autodesk systems, using libIO when necessary. With the addition of a BlackMagic Design Decklink adaptor, tape I/O and professional monitoring become available. C>me also has the ability to create a simple DVD directly from the Stone. |
Fairlight: AVTransfer
Fairlight AVTransfer, with Wiretap support, enables file transfer of media and metadata between Fairlight’s DREAM and Pyxis audio products and Autodesk effects and finishing systems. A typical workflow may involve a Fairlight system accessing multi-track editorial audio content over a local area network (LAN) or secure wide area network (WAN) to permit mixing of audio to picture in the Fairlight systems. The completed mix is returned to an Autodesk system for a seamless file-based “digital data” workflow.
Maximum Throughput: Xstoner
Xstoner is a software application for both Mac and PC used primarily for transferring images and clips from one facility location to another, while applying a vast array of image editing, resizing, cropping, color space transform, and transcoding operations. The application offers intuitive browsing with smart grouping, sorting, and filtering operations, offering a fast and effective way to find the required material regardless of where it is stored. Xstoner provides the ideal solution for moving data both into and out of Autodesk systems’ local storage, even while the Autodesk system remains in use. Xstoner is fully integrated with Autodesk’s latest Wiretap interface, while remaining fully compatible with all legacy Autodesk systems, regardless of release version. |
Telestream: FlipFactory
FlipFactory® automatically converts and transfers digital media files between professional formats and systems in today’s IT-centric video environments. Editing system file format support includes Apple QuickTime and Final Cut Pro IMX, DV50, DVCPRO HD, AAC audio and HDV, and Avid MXF decode. Camera support now includes decoding of Grass Valley Infinity DV25 and JPEG2000, Sony XDCAM HD MXF files, and Panasonic DVCPRO HD from P2 cameras. Media server support expands to include Omneon MXF, Leitch MXF, full support for Grass Valley K2 and SeaChange BML servers. Emerging formats now supported include VC-1 and Dolby 5.1. |
Tiger Technology: stoneGate
Tiger Technology stoneGate is an innovative virtual file system enabling your graphics and animations workstations to tap directly into Autodesk Media & Entertainment Stone file system. stoneGate integrates seamlessly with standard applications. Using stoneGate, every artist within your facility can manipulate image file sequences concurrently on the stone array, without disrupting the high-end workflow. There is no burden placed on the advanced system and there is no need to wait for clips to be encoded. The modified sequence is immediately available for playback on the advanced system and doesn't need to be re-imported (Stonifized). |
