FAQ
GGF to CIN Conversion
What are GGF files?
GGF is the Trimble Grid File, a binary format that stores a geoid model as a regular grid of values. Geoid heights describe the separation between the reference ellipsoid used by GNSS receivers and mean sea level, so a GGF file lets Trimble field and office software convert ellipsoidal heights from satellite measurements into elevations above sea level. Each file represents one geoid model, such as a national or regional model, and the right file is chosen according to the geoid defined in the project's coordinate system. Files can be large, and Trimble Business Center offers to cut a smaller sub-grid for the survey area before sending a file to a field device.
What are CIN files?
The CIN or Kodak Cineon format is a raster graphics format originally associated with the process of film editing and production using the Cineon System designed by Kodak, developed during the 1990s. Though later on Kodak stopped producing this system, the CIN format remained popular especially in the process of creating visual effects. The format's main advantage is its ability to offer a high-quality rendering of scanned film negatives, thus allowing their future editing.
