Standardized SEG-D
MIDI is a SEG-D field data copy system providing the necessary tools to update your SEG-D library. It has long been recommended that digital data libraries be refreshed on a regular basis, with the figure of 10 years often mentioned. MIDI provides the opportunity to input the various historic versions of SEG-D and output standard SEG-D 2.1.
The SEG-D 2.1 format was recently ratified by the SEG Technical Standards Committee to improve support for high capacity media such as the IBM3592. The main aim was to allow the recording of multiple lines on a tape by use of a line sequence number.
Troika has developed a highly efficient SEG-D copy utility within MIDI. This crucial software provides the necessary tools to standardize your entire SEG-D library and transfer data from low-density, typically 9 track, 3480/3490 or 3590 to high capacity media (such as 3592). This package embraces the new SEGD 2.1 format which records a sequence number for each seismic line within a survey so that multiple lines may be written to tape.
Connectivity
MIDI can be interfaced to any standard SCSI devices via IBM/Windows drivers and "off-the-shelf" controllers including:
- 9-track: 3480, 3490, 3490(E), 3590, 3592
- Exabyte: 8500,8505, 8700
- DLT
- DAT
- DVD
- CD
- etc.
Multiple drives may also be attached and run as separate job streams to increase throughput. MIDI includes support for a number of robotic devices including IBM3494 and STK9710, and also supports customized uploading of metadata to databases via XML.
Listing
A number of lists are created whilst transcription is being carried out, which may be used for quality assurance purposes, saving to disk, printout, etc. These lists include details of the data that has been read from and written to tape providing a machine-readable listing for import to a database, spread sheet for labeling, or documentation such as transmittals.

A Toolbox For Your Data Input, Ouput, Reformat and QC Requirements
Magma has been developed to provide a highly efficient range of data manipulation modules, flexible enough to handle all types of exploration data as well as transcribing, reformatting, and copying seismic data. With the ability to handle data recorded on historic 21 and 9 track drives, the system provides a conduit for the fast transfer of information to and from High Capacity Media, hard disk, and across networks. Magma has been thoroughly tested to be able to work at the near theoretical maximum of the very latest tape cartridge and disk technologies.
Hardware
Magma runs on commodity PC hardware running Windows or Linux, as well as Sun Sparc workstations running Solaris. Because Magma is portable, it can be ported to other platforms if required. Magma can access standard SCSI tape devices, and Troika provides solutions to connect legacy devices such as 9 and 21 Track.
Magma - A Brief Overview
Magma is a data manipulation package that efficiently handles seismic inputs, outputs, reformats, and quality controls of seismic data. It is designed to transcribe and/or copy data to/from a variety of media and format types, and is flexible enough to transcribe all kinds of oil exploration data.
Magma has two distinctive parts, the Utility Log and Job Editor, which use GUIs to operate commands (the option to control by a text interface or through building scripts is also allowed).
Magma can be a vital tool in organizing, re-encapsulating, repairing, and analysing your valuable data assets. Copying data from tape to disk, tape to tape, disk to tape, or disk to disk provides the user with a huge variety of options to restructure a data library. An easy copy process lists valuable information contained within the bytes of your seismic data, and assures you of your data's validity.
Wide Selection of Job Options to Run
Written in the highly efficient portable C++, Magma is capable of running on multiple platforms with ease, providing simple methods to separate the functionalities within the modules as required. This may often include the addition of specific company defined formats, connection to clients’ systems, transfer of data via network to clients’ existing hardware, and large robotic or centralised data management centres. The modular structure supports proprietary formats to be added easily as front-end or back-end solutions, and support can be assured through quick solutions supplied from Troika’s comprehensive format library.
