Convert SGI to DPX

The SGI file extension stands for Silicon Graphics Image, a raster graphics file format developed by Silicon Graphics Inc. primarily for their IRIS workstations. This format, originating in the late 1980s, supports uncompressed and RLE-compressed data with up to 48-bit color (16 bits per channel for RGB) and an alpha channel. SGI files are widely utilized in 3D graphics, visualization, and high-end imaging due to their ability to store high-quality images and intricate details, making them an essential asset in professional graphics and animation industries.

The DPX (Digital Picture Exchange) 2.0 file format is a widely adopted standard for exchanging high-quality, resolution-independent, pixel-based images, primarily used in the film and post-production industries. Developed by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), DPX files store individual frames of scanned film or digital images, supporting both color and grayscale data. Introduced in 1994 and updated to version 2.0, DPX facilitates the transfer of digital images for film recording and digital cinema projection, ensuring consistent image quality across different platforms and devices.
