The Basic Package ingests data from the Acquisition Facility and provide all the necessary tools for basic processing and operation of the receiving station. The LRIT image, meteorological data and messages files are then directly available for the user. The HiRID data is automatically processed into calibrated and geocoded products that are stored in the product database. HiRID image products and LRIT image files can be displayed in animation sequences. All operations are automatic.
Processing is both automatic and interactive.
This package is an add-on to the basic package. It is equipped with a PCI expansion cabinet that holds the receiver and frame synchronizer board. The high level of digital and software implementations gives a system that can run with a minimum of maintenance. The software is designed for unattended operation and automatic distribution of images and data to users. Thus an operator is only needed if specific value added processing is desired.
