FAQ
ACE2 to MTV Conversion
What are ACE2 files?
ACE2 is a raw binary raster format used to distribute the Altimeter Corrected Elevations (Version 2) global Digital Elevation Model (DEM), developed through a synergistic fusion of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) dataset and multi-mission Satellite Radar Altimetry. Distributed primarily as 15 by 15 degree geographic tiles, a file of this type contains matrix elevations with spatial resolutions available at 3, 9, and 30 arc-seconds, as well as 5 arc-minutes. The format inherently lacks embedded geospatial metadata, meaning its exact georeferencing and spatial bounds are determined entirely by standard filename conventions referencing the southwestern edge of the southwestern-most pixel. Native compliance allows these files to be seamlessly integrated into specialized environmental, climate, and terrain modeling software.
What are MTV files?
The MTV extension is associated with the MTV Ray Tracer, a piece of software created by Mark VandeWettering and currently discontinued. The software's ray tracing abilities allow it to display 3-D images in 2-D by tracing a path of light through pixels on an image surface. The MTV format uses a simple algorithm and design, and continues to be used for designing computer games and animations or in television and film production.
