Systems with a 9-bit RGB palette use 3 bits for each of the red, green, and blue color components. This results in a (2 3) 3 = 8 3 = 512-color palette as follows: 9-bit RGB systems include the following: Atari ST (Normally 4 to 16 at once without tricks) MSX2 computers (up to 16 at once) Sega Genesis video game console, (64 colors at once) Sega ...
The Atari ST series has a digital-to-analog converter of 3-bits, eight levels per RGB channel, featuring a 9-bit RGB palette (512 colors).Depending on the (proprietary) monitor type attached, it displays one of the 320×200, 16-colors and 640×200, 4-colors modes with the color monitor, or the high resolution 640×400 black and white mode with the monochrome monitor.
A heightmap created with Terragen The same heightmap converted to a 3D mesh and rendered with Anim8or. In computer graphics, a heightmap or heightfield is a raster image used mainly as Discrete Global Grid in secondary elevation modeling. Each pixel stores values, such as surface elevation data, for display in 3D computer graphics.
Usually the color is represented by all 16 bits, but some devices also support 15-bit high color. [1] In Windows 7, Microsoft used the term high color to identify display systems that can make use of more than 8-bits per color channel (10:10:10:2 or 16:16:16:16 rendering formats) from traditional 8-bit per color channel formats.

Procedural heightmap generation using fractal, terracing and erosion tools. Possibility to create and assign multiple layers of heightmaps for each zone. Manual editing of heightmap layers using selection layers and brushes. Flexible brush system that allows custom orientation, mask, strength, directions and pen tablet pressure.
In computer architecture, 16-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are 16 bits (2 octets) wide.Also, 16-bit central processing unit (CPU) and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. 16-bit microcomputers are microcomputers that use 16-bit microprocessors.
1: 32-bit is really (8:8:8:8), but the final 8-bit number is an "empty" alpha channel. It is otherwise equal to 24-bit colour. Many GPUs use 32-bit colour mode instead of 24-bit mode merely for faster video memory access through 32-bit memory alignment. VGA= 864 [ 352 (0160h)] also appears to select 1280 ×800 (8-bit) for various laptops' displays.
Many 16-bit Windows legacy programs can run without changes on newer 32-bit editions of Windows. The reason designers made this possible was to allow software developers time to remedy their software during the industry transition from Windows 3.1x to Windows 95 and later, without restricting the ability for the operating system to be upgraded to a current version before all programs used by a ...
