8.1.8. Multi-page Raw Format (MRF)

Multi-page Raw Format (MRF) is an uncompressed IDT proprietary file format. Multiple raster images are stored in a single file. The format is described below.

Each MRF file contains a file header, an image header and an array of bytes that defines the image data bits. The image raster data is not compressed and stored in the file “as it is”. Both

8 bit and 16 bit data are supported. The file structures are the following:

8.1.8.1. File header

 

 

A MRF file begins with a file header structure containing the IDT raw file signature.

 

 

 

typedef struct _RCFILE_HEADER

 

{

// IDT raw file signature

 

char szSign[8];

 

unsigned long nReserved;

// reserved

 

} RCFILE_HEADER, *PRCFILE_HEADER;

 

 

 

Members

szSign[8]: a 8 char buffer which contains the signature “IDT-MRF”. It indicates that the remainder of the file contains a Multiple Raw File.

nReserved: this field is reserved for future use.

8.1.8.2. Image header

The file header is followed by the image header which contains general information about the data stream.

typedef struct _RCIMG_HEADER

 

{

// size of this header

unsigned long nSize;

unsigned long nPages;

// number of pages/frames

unsigned long nWidth;

// image width

unsigned long nHeight;

// image height

unsigned long nBPP;

// bits per pixel

unsigned long userData[64];

// user data array

} RCIMG_HEADER, *PRCIMG_HEADER;

 

 

 

Members

 

nSize: size of the structure in bytes. It should be 84.

 

nPages: number of images contained in the file

DIGITAL CAMERA specifications

Sharp has long been a name associated with high-quality electronics, and its foray into the digital camera market showcases the company's commitment to innovation and excellence. The Sharp Digital Camera is designed to cater to both amateur photographers and seasoned professionals, combining user-friendly interfaces with advanced imaging technologies.

One of the standout features of Sharp's digital camera is its high-resolution sensor. Many models are equipped with sensors exceeding 20 megapixels, allowing for stunning detail and clarity in images. This high resolution is complemented by Sharp's proprietary image processing technology, which enhances color accuracy, contrast, and overall image quality. The result is vibrant photos that truly capture the essence of the moment.

In terms of optics, Sharp digital cameras often incorporate high-quality lenses with fast apertures. This enables photographers to shoot in various lighting conditions, from bright daylight to low-light environments. The cameras' optical zoom capabilities allow users to capture distant subjects without sacrificing clarity, making them ideal for landscape photography and wildlife shots.

Another notable characteristic of Sharp digital cameras is their advanced autofocus systems. Utilizing phase detection and contrast detection technologies, these cameras can quickly and accurately focus on subjects, ensuring that even fast-moving scenes are captured with precision. The inclusion of face detection and tracking enhances user experience, making it easier to take stunning portraits.

For video enthusiasts, Sharp digital cameras also offer impressive video recording capabilities. Many models support 4K video recording, which ensures that footage is both detailed and immersive. Features such as image stabilization help reduce shake, allowing for smooth video capture even in dynamic situations.

The user-friendly interface of Sharp cameras is another key selling point. Touchscreen controls and intuitive layouts make navigating through settings simple, even for those who may not be tech-savvy. Additionally, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity enable seamless sharing of images and videos to mobile devices and social media platforms.

Durability is also a consideration in Sharp's design. Many models feature weather sealing that protects against dust and moisture, which is essential for outdoor photography. This rugged build is complemented by compact and lightweight designs, allowing for easy portability.

In summary, Sharp digital cameras are a blend of advanced imaging technology, excellent optical performance, and user-friendly features. Whether capturing breathtaking nature scenes or precious family moments, these cameras present an exceptional option for anyone looking to elevate their photography experience. With their emphasis on quality and innovation, Sharp continues to make a mark in the digital camera landscape.
