Convert SUN to DPX

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 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.
