SSEC Data Ingestor (SDI-104) and
SSEC Desktop Ingestor (SDI)
Software Updates

Notice:

The original SDI systems (bottom table below) will be sunset 31 December 2013. See the sunset notice for additional information, including future options for sites with original SDI systems.

The software updates available here contain ingestor and server binary updates to install on SDI-104 and SDI systems. The software is available to all SDI-104 and SDI sites that purchased MUG support for their systems or have been contacted and been given apporoval by SSEC. See the SDI-104 Information Page and the Overview in the SDI Operator's Manual for more information about the SDI-104 package, and the SDI Migration Page for information about migrating from an old SDI to a new SDI-104 system.

A login name and password is required to download any software. Once you've entered your valid login name and password, you can obtain any other McIDAS software your site is licensed to receive (e.g., McIDAS-X and McIDAS-XCD).

The tables below contain links to the SDI-104 and SDI versions available for each ingestor type. The versions are ordered chronologically, with the most recent for each ingestor toward the top of its column. Therefore, to read about and/or obtain the current version for an ingestor, click the version closest to the top of the ingestor's column and follow the instructions.

Historical Notes:
SSEC has been designing and building satellite ingestors since the mid-1970s. The two most recent generations are contained on this page. The SSEC Data Ingestor (SDI-104; top box below) is the successor to the SSEC Desktop Ingestor (SDI; bottom box below), which were manufactured between 1997 and 2005 for DMSP, GMS, GVAR, Meteosat-5 and -7, MTSAT HiRID, POES and NOAAPORT. Beginning in 2005, the SDI NOAAPORT system was replaced by the NOAAPORT Receive System.
