Ingest and processing software for LRIT and HRIT data from EUMETCast, MSG, GOES and MTSAT services
The Dartcom XRIT Ingester software acquires, decrypts, decompresses and archives raw LRIT and HRIT data, then outputs it ready for display and further processing, all in one program.
Images can be automatically enhanced, masked, exported, printed, animated, reprojected and coloured using the Dartcom MacroPro software, then displayed, manipulated and processed further using the Dartcom iDAP software.
Features of the Dartcom XRIT Ingester include:
- Handling of all LRIT and HRIT data from EUMETCast, MSG, GOES and MTSAT.
- Fully automatic ingest and output, with no user intervention required after configuration.
- Multi-threaded, layered architecture allowing simultaneous ingest from different services.
- Designed to meet CGMS and EUMETSAT specifications for implementation and timeliness.
- Rolling archiving of raw and decrypted data up to 7 days and decompressed data up to 366 days.
- Automatic preview creation, with vector map overlays and geographical position read-outs on image previews.
- Output of image data as single plane or multi-plane Dartcom iDAP images (navigated and calibrated where possible for albedo or temperature, and with vector map overlays) and as 8-bit or 16-bit PGM files, with area selection, sub-sampling and archiving for up to 366 days.
- Output of text data (such as service messages) via e-mail (access to SMTP server required).
- Activity logging, on-screen alarms and e-mail alarms (access to SMTP server required), plus monitoring of disk space and data stream.
