Autodesk Inferno - Infrastructure

Infrastructure
Autodesk® Stone® Direct software storage solution-high-speed fiber channel storage solutions for real-time access to high-resolution media.
Autodesk® Stone® FS software-advanced file system promotes performance and reduces fragmentation risks.
Autodesk® Wiretap^TM technology-API provides convenient access to Stone FS file system by third-party applications.
RAID 5 protection from data loss of audio and video media, and non-obstructive background healing.
Supports Autodesk® Backdraft® Conform software-an assistant utility for project and media management, I/O, conform, and editing.
Autodesk® Wire® software networking for visual browsing and high-speed transfer of clips. Support for InfiniBand® networking protocol delivers faster-than-real-time transfer of clips up to 2K 10-bit resolution.
Supports standard file systems. Multiple Autodesk systems can connect to and share the same storage, such as a SAN or NAS, resulting in significantly faster media access and reduced media duplication (Linux® operating system only).

Motion Estimation Timewarp
High-quality timewarp for speeding up or slowing down frame rate of a clip.
Minimizes the telltale ghosting, softening, and stepping artifacts typical of traditional frame-averaging timewarps.
Powerful optical flow algorithms track changes in image pixels from frame to frame and interpolate movement for crisp, clean rendering of extreme slow motion.
Enables interaction with onscreen motion vectors to improve accuracy. Speed curves facilitate setup and animation of speed changes.

Animation: Channel Editor
Easily create and manipulate animations in the ubiquitous Channel Editor.
16 x 9 user interface is standardized across Autodesk editing/finishing and visual effects systems applications.
Animation capabilities include auto-keyframing, motion paths, expressions, and editable spline curves with choice of interpolation and extrapolation modes.
Convert expression and extrapolated curves into keyframed curves for additional manual control.
Track Editor lets you view and slide individual keyframes on a track with multiple tracks or keyframes selected.
Automatic and user-defined filters organize channel display for improved usability in large, complex setups.

Expressions
Create accurate animations based on user-programmed parameters.
Library of functions includes mathematical, logical operators, conditional operators, vectors, and constants.
Parameters can be linked so that an object's rotation varies as a function of its distance from a light source-as you animate the object's position, its rotation is calculated automatically.
