What is an SCV file?

SCV files mostly belong to CASmate by SAi. SCV filename extension is mainly associated with signs (e.g. poster) created with CASmate digital design software. The sign in an SCV file is made up of graphics, layout information, text, and color data stored in a vector image format that is compatible with various plotters, cutters, and routers. Although CASmate is now obsolete, you can still open SCV signs with Flexi signage design/print software. SCV is also a rare video file format used on older, portable video/audio players installed in some vehicles. Another type of SCV file contains images that are saved in the ColorRIX raster image file format which was used by ColorRIX VGA Paint and EGA Paint graphics packages on classic MS-DOS platforms. XnView image manipulation software can open this last type of SCV files.
