Features of Metaseis
Metaseis has been built from the ground up to give our customers a service that adapts to their exact data needs. From uncovering issues in vintage formats to handling vast volumes of processed data, its flexible and customisable tools are designed to meet unique challenges and keep pace with evolving standards.
Developed in-house by Moveout, Metaseis has been refined over years of real-world use, enabling tailored remastering solutions and continuous improvements.
Java-based and platform-independent, it runs anywhere, anytime - futureproof without the need for porting.
TRANSCRIBE
Metaseis is compatible with both vintage and modern Linux operating systems, enabling the connection of any tape drive regardless of cabling type - from SCSI to FC and SAS.
Read Any Tape As Tap File
In this mode Metaseis reads from tape to disk, irrespective of the data format... SEG-A, SEG-B, SEG-C, SEG-D, SEG-Y, ASCII, EBCDIC, LIS, LAS, Proprietary Formats etc.
The output is a tape image file that can subsequently be decoded into the appropriate format. Essential for reading 9-track tapes. Difficult and damaged tapes can be re-started and run from start to finish in one pass.
Read SEG-D
Automatically rename SEG-D files and sort to LINESEQ directories
Read SEG-Y
Read SEG-RODE
Read SEG-B
Read P1/90
Read P1/84
Read SPS
Write to SEG-D 2.1 or 3.0
Write to SEG-Y 1.0 or 2.1
ANALYSE
SEG-D Dump - General, Extended, External, Summary, Trace Headers
SEG-Y Dump - EBCDIC, Binary, Trace Headers
SEG-Y Show - Immediate view of first & last 30 trace headers of a file & EBCDIC
SEG-Y Diff - Create difference file between SEG-Y data
SEG-D, SEG-Y, P1 Reports - Trawl through multi directory libraries creating customisable reports
CONDITION
Automatically rename SEG-Y files using info from EBCDIC, Binary or Trace Headers
Edit SEG-Y EBCDIC and Binary Headers

Our Team Says
“Writing our own software was a game changer. We can update code quickly to match any challenge and run Metaseis on as many systems as demand requires.”
