Convert FTS to CIN

The Flexible Image Transport System (FTS) file extension, is predominantly utilized for the storage, transmission, and manipulation of scientific and astronomical data. Developed by NASA in the late 1970s, this standardized format facilitates data interchange among the astronomical community. FTS is highly extensible, supporting various data types such as images, tables, and multidimensional arrays. Its widespread adoption stems from its capability to encapsulate metadata efficiently, enabling accurate and effective exchange of complex datasets among researchers and institutions.

The CIN file extension stands for Kodak Cineon Bitmap Image, a format developed by Kodak in 1992 to digitize film images for electronic compositing, manipulation, and enhancement. It stores a single frame from a motion picture or video data stream with 10-bit color depth per RGB channel. Although the Cineon System is now discontinued, the format is still used in visual effects and film restoration. CIN files can be opened and converted using applications like Adobe Photoshop and XnViewMP.
