Medical Data: Electronic Transcript Files hold electrocardiogram records and test results. They are used in medical systems, for example by Philips SpeechExec Pro, to store patient measurement data.
Simulation Textures: In flight simulation, ETC files can contain texture maps. Programs like Microsoft Flight Simulator X and tools used in X-Plane use these files to add detail to simulated environments.
Encrypted Multimedia: Some ETC files encapsulate encrypted video data using an MP4 format. These files require a proper decryption key and can be played with software such as VLC Media Player. More details can be found at VideoLAN.
Test and Configuration Data: Other ETC files store test data or configuration settings using XML. Instruments like the PROFITEST 204 and devices from Secutest S5 use them. Information regarding these implementations is available at Gossen Metrawatt.
Gaming Data: In the gaming sector, ETC files may hold encrypted game data such as texture files for titles like Titanfall 2.
