Convert SIX to CIP

The SIX file extension, short for "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Introduced initially to send bitmap graphics to DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, SIX later facilitated the transfer of soft fonts to terminals such as the VT220. This format encodes images using a series of six-pixel-high patterns, making it efficient for transmitting graphics over 7-bit serial links. Rediscovered around 2010, SIX remains in use with modern terminal emulators for tasks like video playback.

A CIP (Cisco IP-Phone Image Bitmap) file is a proprietary format used to store images and graphics for Cisco IP phones. It allows customization of phone interfaces with logos, branding, and themes. Created with Cisco Phone Designer software, CIP files can be installed via Cisco Phone Administrator software or USB drives. While primarily for Cisco IP phones, they can also store subtitles and other data.
