Convert RMF to FITS

The RMF (Raw Media Format) file extension is primarily associated with Canon's digital cinema cameras. RMF files store uncompressed raw image data, capturing each frame in high detail, which is crucial for post-production flexibility. Introduced with Canon's Cinema EOS line, RMF files are used in professional filmmaking to maintain maximum image quality by preserving the original sensor data. This format supports high dynamic range and color depth, making it ideal for advanced color grading and visual effects.

The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file extension is widely utilized in the field of astronomy for storing, transmitting, and manipulating scientific data and images. Originating in the late 1970s, FITS was developed by NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to standardize the format for astronomical data. Its primary use is to archive astronomical images, spectral data, and other multidimensional data arrays, enabling efficient data interchange among scientists and astronomers. FITS files are known for their ability to store metadata and large datasets, making them essential for detailed scientific analysis and long-term preservation in research environments.
