Many thanks for your answers!!

I am developing a library to read/write some type of GeoTIFF images, and for validate the tool I am looking to a GeoTIFF written in Tiles and which has multiplanar configuration (PlanarConfiguration = 2), Do you have any example of this type of image?

Best Regards,

Jorge Martin

Jorge,

Yes, this all sounds right.

And given five bands/samples you will have 60*5 = 300 strips.

Yes.
