The J2C file extension stands for JPEG 2000 Code Stream, a format defined in Part 1 of the JPEG 2000 standard. Developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) from 1997 to 2000, J2C files utilize wavelet-based compression, supporting both lossy and lossless compression. This format is primarily used for high-quality image storage and transmission, offering superior compression efficiency and flexibility compared to the original JPEG standard. J2C files are often embedded within other file formats like JP2 for enhanced metadata support.
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.
