    Wiretap Gateway

    Wiretap is a protocol for accessing media and metadata from Creative Finishing applications. Wiretap Gateway is a Wiretap server that exposes a filesystem as a Wiretap hierarchy of directories, files, and clip nodes, and streams them as raw RGB to local or remote Wiretap clients.

    The ifffsWiretapServer is installed with Creative Finishing applications and runs independently of them. Wiretap Gateway, Backburner, Backburner Manager, and Backburner Monitor are installed by default on an Autodesk workstation.
