About SR2 to ODD Conversion
SR2 is Sony's earlier RAW format from cameras predating the Alpha mirrorless system, including the DSC-R1 and early Alpha DSLRs like the A100. SR2 files store 12-bit CCD sensor data in a TIFF-based container. ODD is LibreOffice Draw's format for annotated documents.
Converting SR2 to ODD decodes the early Sony sensor data and embeds the photograph into a Draw document. These cameras represent Sony's transition from CCD to CMOS sensors, and their captures have a distinctive warm color character worth preserving and documenting.
Why Convert SR2 to ODD?
SR2 format support is diminishing as Sony's focus shifted entirely to the ARW format. Converting to ODD preserves these photographs in a modern open-standard format while enabling annotation. For collectors and archivists of early Sony digital camera output, ODD provides long-term format stability.
The distinctive CCD sensor color rendering of SR2-era Sony cameras — warm tones, rich blues, smooth gradients — has a nostalgic quality that digital photography enthusiasts value. ODD conversion preserves this character in annotated archival documents.
Common Use Cases
- Preserve early Sony DSLR photography archives in a modern annotatable format
- Create documented catalogs of vintage Sony DSC-R1 and Alpha A100 photography
- Build annotated reference collections comparing early Sony CCD sensor rendering
- Annotate SR2 photography with camera history and technical context notes
How It Works
The conversion reads the SR2 TIFF-based container, decodes the 12-bit CCD sensor data, applies Sony's embedded color matrix and white balance, and embeds the resulting RGB image into an ODD XML package. SR2 cameras typically captured 8-10 megapixel images.
Quality & Performance
Early Sony CCD sensors produced 8-10 MP images with warm, saturated color rendering characteristic of CCD technology. The ODD conversion preserves this distinctive color character. Image noise is moderate by modern standards but part of the era's digital photography aesthetic.
