About MDC Format

Minolta RD-175 RAW

A multi-sensor raw format from the 90s.

Overview

MDC is the raw format used by the Minolta RD-175, a DSLR released in 1995. The camera was unique because it used *three* separate CCD sensors to create a single image, similar to 3CCD camcorders.

Technical Details

The RD-175 used three 0.38 megapixel sensors. Two sensors captured green and one captured red/blue. The MDC file stores this split data, which must be interpolated to form the final 1.75 megapixel image.

History

One of the first portable DSLRs.

Common Use Cases

About ICO Format

Microsoft Icon

The standard format for icons on Microsoft Windows and the web (favicons).

Overview

The ICO format is a container for one or more images at multiple sizes and color depths. It allows a single file to store appropriate icons for different display contexts (e.g., 16x16 for menus, 256x256 for desktop). It supports transparency and, in modern versions, PNG compression.

ICO files contain a header followed by an icon directory that lists each image entry. Each entry can use either BMP (uncompressed) or PNG compression. The format supports 1, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32-bit color depths with optional alpha channels.
