Binary prefix

A binary prefix is a unit prefix for multiples of units in data processing, data transmission, and digital information, notably the bit and the byte, to indicate multiplication by a power of 2.

Bitmap

In computing, a bitmap is a mapping from some domain (for example, a range of integers) to bits.

Byte

The byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits, representing a binary number.

Color depth

Color depth or colour depth (see spelling differences), also known as bit depth, is either the number of bits used to indicate the color of a single pixel, in a bitmapped image or video frame buffer, or the number of bits used for each color component of a single pixel.
