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.

About XPM Format

X PixMap

Color icons written as text.

Overview

XPM (X PixMap) is the usage successor to XBM. It allows for color images (and transparency) to be stored as C source code arrays. It was the standard format for icons in the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) and many Unix window managers.

Technical Details

An XPM file is valid C code defining a character array: `static char * icon[] = { ... }`. The data defines a color palette (mapping characters like '.' or '#' to hex colors) and then draws the image using those characters. This makes it human-readable and editable in a text editor.

History

Developed by Groupe Bull in 1989 to bring color support to X11 icons.

Common Use Cases

  • •Application Icons: Embedding a logo into a compiled C++ binary.
