Setup guide

4 To enable remote access to clip libraries, in /etc/exports specify all directories you want remote hosts
to be able to access. You can export the entire/usr/discreet directory to enable remote access to all
clip libraries, projects, user preferences and setups. Or you can export only certain subdirectories, such
as/usr/discreet/clip or /usr/discreet/project. For example, to export the /usr/discreet/clip
directory, add the following line to the end of the exports file: /usr/discreet/clip *(rw, sync,
no_root_squash). Save the updated exports file, and run the command exportfs -a to apply the
changes.
5 To configure the Wiretap server edit /usr/discreet/wiretap/cfg/wiretapd.cfg. The house network
IP address should already be present in the file, as it is added automatically during installation. Specify
any additional IP addresses Wiretap should broadcast for self-discovery, for example:
IP1=10.10.0.1IP2=10.10.11.200. Optional: If your network comprises Windows or Mac OS X systems
that will use Wiretap to access media from your workstation, configure the Wiretap Path Translation
service so that media paths are accurately translated between operating systems. See Wiretap path
translation (page 59).
6 To restart and test Wire: /etc/init.d/stone+wire restart. To test Wire is working:
/usr/discreet/sw/tools/sw_framestore_dump which should show all Wire hosts discovered on your
network.
Upgrade projects to the current version
You do not need to do this if you are applying a service pack. This can be done manually .
Transfer clip libraries to current projects
To access clip libraries from projects created with any Creative Finishing software between the 2007 version
and the current one, you must transfer the clip libraries to a project created in the current version. You can
install the current version and use Wire to transfer the clip libraries to a current project. See your application
help. For a Linux system where you do not wish to install the current version, or for IRIX systems, you can
also use the following procedure to transfer media to the current version.
1 Use Backdraft Conform 2007 or later application to create a project and a clip library on the 2013.1
system. See your application help. The project and library is formatted for the software version it was
created with.
2 Use the 2007 or later application to move clips over the network into the previously created project
on the 2013.1 system. You can use Background Wire to help free up the resources of the workstation
running the older version of the application. See your application help.
3 Create a new project on the current version system. If you have many projects, use the copyProjects
script.
4 Use the current application to open the library created in step 1 (the library is read-only).
5 Use Dual View to drag the clips into the 2013.1 project and library.
6 Use the older application version to remove the project created in step 1. 2013.1 applications cannot
remove projects created with previous versions because they are read-only.
TIP If you have versions previous to 2007 installed on your current version system, you can access the older system
remotely to transfer the media using Wire without interrupting a session on that station.
Configure Backburner services
Background Wire transfers and proxy generation rely on Backburner. Backburner can also be used to manage
background processing jobs sent to Burn render nodes, and distributed transcoding jobs to import certain
media formats, such as REDCODE RAW or OpenEXR.
