DEC Six Pixels (.six)

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.

Braille Ready Format (.brf)

The Braille Ready Format (BRF) is a digital text file format used to store braille transcriptions. Developed by the National Federation of the Blind and the American Printing House for the Blind, BRF files represent braille pages in ASCII text, making them readable by braille displays and embossers. This format supports both contracted and uncontracted braille, facilitating accessibility for visually impaired users. BRF files are essential for converting printed text into a format usable by braille notetakers and refreshable braille displays.
