FAQ
NSF to EMF Conversion
What are NSF files?
NSF is an extension used for files of the NATO Secondary Imagery Format (NSIF), which is the alliance's version of the American National Imagery Transmission Format. NATO armed forces and their partners need to exchange images from satellites, aircraft, and reconnaissance systems in a way that every member's equipment can read, and NSIF was created for this purpose, as the standard STANAG 4545. A file of this type is a package that holds one or several images together with graphics, text, and the information that describes them, for instance the sensor, the time, and the security classification. In practice, NSIF version 1.0 is almost identical to NITF 2.1, so the two formats are largely interchangeable, and many programs read both.
What are EMF files?
EMF (Enhanced Metafile) is a format used by the Windows operating system to store spooling information connected to printing. The term "spooling" comes from the acronym for "simultaneous peripheral operations online" and represents the creation of a list of tasks scheduled for completion by Windows at a later time. EMF files can contain vector or bitmap components and they replaced the original WMF (Windows Metafile) format, using a 32-bit structure instead of a 16-bit one and thus providing better quality of printing.
