Relationships Related Term:  pixel depth n. ~ The number of bits used to form a pixel in a graphics array.

The number of possible color values used in a digital image. A higher bit depth improves the tonality of an image because there are more color values to choose from.

Determines the maximum number of colors that can be displayed at one time. Bit depth is the number of bits per pixel, which determines the number of colors that the image can display. The minimum requ [..]

Bit depth (aka "word length") fixes the encoded dynamic range of an audio event or item. 24-bit audio provides a dynamic range that approaches the limits of the dynamic ranges of sou [..]

The number of bits used to represent each pixel in an image. The term can be confusing since it is sometimes used to represent bits per pixel and at other times, the total number of bits used multipli [..]

the number of bits used to represent the color of an individual pixel on a computer screen. A bit depth of 1 would represent that the pixel could only be on-off — a black-and-white display. 8-bit disp [..]

Number of possible color choices, represented in the number of bits per color channel; for instance, in RGB there are three color channels: red, green, and blue. See also color depth.

Synonym bits per pixel.

In computing, the number of bits used to represent a discrete item, using a coding system based on numeric values. In digital imaging, the number of bits used to represent a pixel (at least 15 bits fo [..]

The number of bits used to represent each pixel in an image, determining its color or tonal range.

This refers to the color or gray scale of an individual pixel. A pixel with 8 bits per color gives a 24 bit image. (8 Bits X 3 colors is 24 bits.) 24 bit color resolution is 16.7 million colors. Bitmap

The bit depth is an indication of the color depth that a pixel in a digital image may have. For example, when the image is available in 8 bit, each pixel in the image will provide one of 256 colors (28); when the image is in 10 bit, up to 1024 colors (210) are available.

The number of bits which hold the colour information needed to display one pixel of an image. When compressing graphics for use on the web, lowering the image's bit depth can result in much small [..]

Refers to the colour or grey scale of each individual pixel. For example a pixel with 8 bits per colour (red, green and blue), gives a 24 bit image. 24 bit resolution is 16.7 million colours.

The level of gradation used to define a shade of dark or light. Higher bit depth allows more accuracy and fidelity of captured images, and allows finer adjustments when editing. Most point-and-shoot c [..]

The number of bits used to represent each pixel in a digital image. This figure suggests the image colour or tone range.

The number of possible color values used in a digital image. A higher bit depth improves the tonality of an image because there are more color values to choose from.

The number of bits (binary digits) used to specify the brightness or colour range of each pixel in an image sensor. JPEG images are always recorded with 8-bit depth, which can record 256 (28) levels o [..]

The number of bits (smallest unit of information in a notation using the binary system) that are digitized by a system's A/D converter.

The bit depth is an indication of the color depth that a pixel in a digital image may have. For example, when the image is available in 8 bit, each pixel in the image will provide one of 256 colors (2 [..]

The number of bits used to represent a single pixel in a digital image.

The number of bits that are digitized by the A/D converter or the representation of how many bits can be made from the signal in a pixel.

See Colour depth.

The number of bits used to describe each sample within a digital audio file. In PCM audio, the bit depth determines the maximum possible dynamic range of the signal.
