- Description
- This format is used to compress TIFF images when sending them via fax machines. This format helps reduce the data transmission time. Group 3 eliminates redundant data during compression in order to reduce file size. The standard 10:1 compression ratio may be increased to the user's preferences, but it can lead to a significant loss of image quality.
- CIP is a proprietary image format developed by Cisco Systems for its IP phones. It is used to store images, backgrounds, icons, and logos, and is optimized for use on Cisco IP phones. It is not compatible with other image formats.
