SRF to MTV conversion is the process of transforming an image file in the SRF format (commonly a Sony RAW or scanner-specific raw raster format) into an MTV image container or bitmap variant used by legacy multimedia tools and some imaging pipelines. The conversion decodes SRF's raw sensor or raster data, applies any required demosaicing or color profiles, and re-encodes the result into the MTV target format with chosen compression and quality settings.
