Kodak Cineon
A pioneering 10-bit logarithmic format designed by Kodak for digital film scanning and mastering.
The Cineon format (.cin) was developed by Kodak in the early 1990s as part of their Cineon Digital Film System. It was designed to capture the full dynamic range of film negatives. Unlike standard linear image formats, Cineon stores data in a 10-bit logarithmic density format, which closely mimics the response of film to light. This allows it to preserve highlight and shadow details that would be lost in linear 8-bit formats.
Cineon files use 10 bits per color channel (Red, Green, Blue), packed into 32-bit words (with 2 bits of padding). The key feature is the logarithmic encoding: pixel values represent printing density rather than linear brightness. A value of roughly 95 represents 'D-min' (clear film base), and the values scale up to represent increasing density. This allows the format to store a dynamic range that exceeds standard video formats.
Introduced in 1993, the Cineon system was the first end-to-end 4K digital intermediate workflow for motion pictures. While the hardware system was discontinued in 1997, the file format became the industry standard for visual effects and digital mastering until it was eventually superseded by the more flexible DPX (Digital Picture Exchange) format, which is directly based on Cineon.
Targa ICB
A legacy extension for Targa images created by Truevision ICB boards.
The ICB file extension is functionally identical to the standard TGA (Truevision Targa) format. It was specifically used to denote images created by or for the Truevision Image Capture Board (ICB). Like standard TGA files, it supports simpler raster data with optional RLE compression and alpha transparency.
An ICB file respects the TGA 2.0 specification. It contains a header defining image dimensions and pixel depth, followed by pixel data. The pixel data can be uncompressed or RLE-compressed. It supports bit depths of 8, 16, 24, and 32 bits. In 32-bit mode, 8 bits are dedicated to an alpha channel, which was a pioneering feature for video overlay graphics.
Truevision (now part of Avid) introduced the Targa video boards for IBM PC-compatibles in the 1980s. To distinguish files created by different hardware models, they used specific extensions: .tga (generic), .icb (Image Capture Board), .vda (Video Display Adapter), and .vst (Video Super TarGA). Modern software treats them all as standard TGA files.
