4bitperchannel
4bitperchannel is a color depth specification used in digital imaging and video encoding to describe the number of bits allocated to represent each color channel in a color image or video frame. In this system, each color channel (typically red, green, and blue for RGB) is encoded using four bits, resulting in a total of 12 bits per pixel for three channels. This configuration limits the number of distinct color values each channel can represent, reducing the overall color gamut compared to higher bit depths like 8-bit or 16-bit per channel.
The 4-bit per channel format is commonly found in older digital video formats, such as those used
While 4-bit per channel offers limited color resolution, it can be advantageous in scenarios requiring minimal
