- Description
- The AVR (Audio Visual Research) file format is a proprietary audio format developed by Audio Visual Research for use on Macintosh computers. It was primarily used in older Mac operating systems and is less common today. AVR files were designed for storing digitized audio data, often used in conjunction with early audio editing and processing software on the Mac platform. This format allowed for the storage and manipulation of various types of audio information, making it a useful tool for researchers, musicians, and audio engineers during its time of popularity.
- PCX, standing for Paintbrush Bitmap Image, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation for their PC Paintbrush graphics program. Initially released in the 1980s, PCX was one of the first widely used bitmap image formats on IBM PC compatible computers. The format supports 1-bit monochrome, 4-bit palette, 8-bit palette, and 24-bit true color images, allowing for a wide range of colors and shades.
