The PCX file extension, standing for PiCture eXchange, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation in 1985 for its PC Paintbrush software. It became one of the first widely accepted DOS imaging standards, supporting palette-indexed images from 2 to 256 colors and later true-color (24-bit) images. PCX files use RLE (Run-Length Encoding) compression, making them smaller in size. Although largely replaced by formats like BMP, JPEG, and PNG, PCX was pivotal in early computer graphics and is still supported by various image processing software.
The HRZ file extension is integral to Slow Scan Television (SSTV), a digital imaging technique used in amateur radio to transmit images via radio waves. The HRZ format efficiently stores images in a 256 x 240 RGB bitmap, making it ideal for low-bandwidth transmissions. SSTV encodes images into audio signals, which are then decoded back into visual files, producing an HRZ file. This technology is crucial for image communication in bandwidth-constrained environments.
