35mm Color Slide Makers: DICOMED DDC Format Conversion Utilities


There have been requests for a product that takes presentation graphics (35mm
color slides) prepared on a DICOMED system and converts them for use, editing,
or display, on a color Macintosh II. DICOMED has two file formats. The "DDC"
file format works with DICOMED's film recorder. The "DICOMEDia" file format
works with other DICOMED equipment.

The 'DDC' file format is included in the film recorder's documentation.
Currently there is no product that can translate DDC to/from Macintosh.
However, with documentation available for both 'DDC' and Macintosh, a
translator could be written.

The 'DICOMEDia' file format is propriety. An application exists that converts
Macintosh images to the 'DICOMEDia' format. However, it does not convert
'DICOMEDia' to Macintosh. This program is available from Stradeware of
Denver, Colorado.
