Convert SIX to HRZ

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.

The HRZ file extension is associated with Slow Scan Television (SSTV), a method used by amateur radio operators to transmit still images via radio waves. HRZ files store images rendered from SSTV audio signals, typically as 256x240 pixel RGB bitmaps. These files can be viewed using software like XnViewMP or Logipole Konverter. SSTV allows for the transmission of images over high-frequency bands using single-sideband modulation (SSB). The HRZ format is not widely produced by specific programs, but several image viewers support it.
