FAQ
SI to FITS Conversion
What are SI files?
The SI format is associated with Softimage, a program first released in 1988 for Silicon Graphics workstations. The software specialized in creating 3D animation for the film, broadcasting, gaming and advertising industries, and by 2000 it was replaced by an upgraded version called Softimage XSI. SI images are currently considered rare and obsolete.
What are FITS files?
The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is a standard format used particularly for storing, transferring and processing scientific images from fields such as astronomy. FITS was first launched as an open standard in the early 1980s and has gone through several subsequent upgrades. FITS files contain not just images, but also data related to photometry and spatial calibration, and information about the origin of the image. Similar formats include FIT and FTS.
