The VDA file extension, associated with Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter (TARGA), is a raster graphics file format developed by Truevision Inc. It was designed for high-color and true-color display on IBM-compatible PCs, supporting resolutions matching NTSC and PAL video formats. VDA files are used for digital photos, textures, and video editing, offering various color depths (8 to 32 bits) and alpha channel transparency. The format includes both lossless and lossy compression options, ensuring high-quality image preservation.
The CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image file format, developed by the United States Department of Defense in the mid-1980s, is a standard for storing raster (bit-mapped) image data, typically black-and-white. It ensures efficient data interchange and retention of orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images. This standard was part of the broader CALS initiative aimed at improving electronic publishing and data management within the federal government.
