The DDA file extension is used with formats of import files, in the TNT MIPS Software from MicroImage. TNT MIPS is a program for mapping and image processing, that is used all over the world for GIS, or geographic information analysis, CAD, advanced image processing, atlas preparation, desktop cartography, and other spatial visualization and database management applications.Files in the .dda file extension contain import files to be used for raster and vector processing and visualization for cartographic layouts in 2D and 3D. These import files are stored in the .dda file extension, while you are working with the geospatial software. TNT MIPS has an import process that lets you choose either the format or the file first. The format is set into default at "Any supported format", and you can select the files for import set to this option. This is especially useful if you are unfamiliar with the data that you are working with. Several file formats utilize the .dda file extension even for several types of data.Import files with the DDA file extension can contain raster objects of any dimension, or numeric type, that can be edited directly with the draw and paint processes of the software TNT MIPS. It can also be vector objects that contain lines, points, polygons, and elements for labels in a defined topography. Files in the .dda file extension can also be CAD objects that has elements like points, lines, and polygons. It is different from vector elements, because it also contains geometric blocks and shapes. Import Files can also contain database objects that are separate objects, but are attached to elements in vector, raster and CAD objects.
On December 1st, 2008 a new option opens up for both consumers of music, and the producers of the music they love, when Sneaky Sound System and Gurrumul, amongst others, release their current albums on the revolutionary new DDA format. Like a CD package, each DDA has album tracks, lyrics, liner notes/credits, photos and artwork. Unlike a CD package, a DDA can have hundreds of tracks (over varied file formats) and thousands of photos. And significantly, the DDA owner also gets their own space within the D:Net Media System - ‘myDDA’. Not just a back up of each user’s content, myDDA is a means to acquire new content, and access the content they own, from any internet enabled computer. Other online features include a non-stop music news service and exclusive artist forums - a great way to socially network with like-minded people. Importantly it’s all about content, which is owned by the consumer and stored locally and remotely for them. It’s not content they visit when online at someone else’s website. Each DDA features its own player, track list builder, media transfer unit (with a simple click to transfer playlists to iTunes > iPods and burn CDs), a video viewer, plus interaction with the users Facebook page!
