The PHB Brother ULT Embroidery Format is a proprietary embroidery file format created by Brother. It is used to store embroidery designs for Brother embroidery machines, and can be read by Brother's embroidery software. The PHB file format is not compatible with other embroidery software.
Created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), SIXEL is a bitmap image format in an escaped sequence (seen as six pixels high and one pixel wide). You have to convert it into a more accessible format if you don’t have a DEC terminal to view it.
