About Bit Depth & Bandwidth

This calculator helps determine bandwidth requirements and compression needs for LED video content delivery.

Bit Depths:

• 8-bit: Standard for most content (16.7 million colors)
• 10-bit: Professional video with better gradients (1 billion colors)
• 12-bit: High-end cinema and medical displays (68 billion colors)
• 16-bit: Scientific and extreme precision applications

Bandwidth: Uncompressed video requires significant bandwidth. Most practical implementations use compression to reduce data rates while maintaining acceptable quality.
