Abstract

A transcriber system for receiving previously recorded data in a first medium and outputting the data in a second medium, and which includes at least one input device for receiving the data in the first medium, an output device for outputting the data in the second medium, a control and processing device which controls the input and output devices for a selected mode of transcription and in one embodiment, for selected processing of the data in the field. In one embodiment, the transcriber system receives seismic data from tape cartridges and/or solid state memory devices and outputs the seismic data onto a magnetic tape for later processing and analysis or transmission to a remote facility via a satellite link. The transcription system can include a printer/plotter for analysis of different seismic data recording and processing arrangements in the field.
