The ICB file extension, associated with Targa Graphics, stands for Image Capture Board. It was originally used with the AT&T EPICenter Image Capture Board video card and software like ICB-PAINT and TARGA-PAINT. This format is a raster graphics file used for storing and exchanging deep-pixel images, supporting 8, 16, 24, and 32 bits per pixel. Developed by Truevision Inc., it played a significant role in early computer graphics for high-color display on IBM-compatible PCs.
The SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
