ARW at a glance
ARW
As Sony expanded from consumer electronics into serious camera bodies and sensors, ARW became part of the broader shift that put Sony raw support on the critical path for many photo applications.
SLN at a glance

What should I review after converting ARW to SLN?
After conversion, review these destination checks: Open converted output in Asterisk and verify behavior on real samples; Compare output against the expected depends quality profile; Not a general-purpose consumer exchange format.
How can I keep quality stable in ARW to SLN conversion?
Run representative samples, keep settings deterministic, and monitor these risks: Requires workflow context to interpret sample-rate-specific extensions correctly; Not a general-purpose consumer exchange format; Validate destination compatibility before large-batch conversion.
