About ICB Format

Targa ICB

A legacy extension for Targa images created by Truevision ICB boards.

Overview

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.

Technical Details

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.

History

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.

Common Use Cases

  • Legacy Hardware Support: Opening archives of graphics created for broadcast TV in the late 80s/early 90s.
  • Texture Assets: Old game engines might use .icb files for textures (though .tga is far more common).

Advantages

  • Simplicity
  • Alpha Support

Limitations

  • Obscure Extension
  • File Size

About WBMP Format

Wireless Bitmap

The pixel format of the Nokia 3310 era.

Overview

WBMP (Wireless Bitmap) is a monochrome graphics file format optimized for mobile computing devices using the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). It was designed for the extremely limited bandwidth and display capabilities of early 2000s feature phones.

Technical Details

A WBMP file is an uncompressed sequence of bits with a minimal variable-byte integer header usually encoding generic type (0), width, and height. It supports only 1-bit color (black and white). There is no compression, palette, or gray scale.

History

Developed by the WAP Forum to deliver icons and simple graphics to mobile phones over 2G networks.

Common Use Cases

  • Retro Development: Creating authentic WAP site simulations.
  • Embedded Systems: Displaying logos on 1-bit LCD microcontrollers.

Advantages

  • Simplicity

Limitations

  • 1-bit Color
  • Obsolete
