Convert SUN to AAI

The Sun Raster (SUN) file extension, originating from Sun Microsystems, is a bitmap image format used primarily on SunOS systems. Known for its versatility in storing raster graphics, it supports various color depths, from monochrome to 24-bit true color. Initially created for the Sun workstation's image processing software, it facilitated efficient graphical data manipulation and transmission. Over time, its straightforward structure and compatibility with different Unix-based systems ensured its adoption in diverse graphic applications. Today, while largely historical, the SUN file format remains an important part of the legacy of early computer graphics development.

The Dune HD AAI file extension, AAI, stands for Alpha-Alpha Image and is a raster image format used by Dune HD media players to display images with transparency, such as icons for Internet radio stations or channels. It stores 32-bit RGBA image data, which includes an alpha channel for transparency. This format is primarily used within Dune HD's ecosystem for organizing and displaying media content. The AAImageGen app, available from Dune HD, allows conversion of images like JPG, PNG, and BMP to AAI format.
