Cards in this deck (10)
- 1Parity CheckingEach time a byte is transferred, the parity bit is checked. One-bit parity systems will detect if one of the eight bits in the byte has been erroneously switched from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1.
- 2ASCII CodeASCII is the most common format for text files in computers and on the Internet. In an ASCII file, each alphabetic, numeric, or special character is represented with a 7-bit binary number.
- 3UnicodeAn international encoding standard for use with different languages, by which each letter, digit, or symbol is assigned a unique numeric value that applies across different platforms and programs.
- 4PixelA minute area of illumination on a display screen, one of many from which an image is composed.
- 5ResolutionResolution is the number of pixels (individual points of color) contained on a display monitor
- 6Colour DepthColor depth, also known as bit depth, is either the number of bits used to indicate the color of a single pixel
- 7MetadataA set of data that describes and gives information about other data.
- 8Vector GraphicsVector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygons—all of which are based on mathematical expressions—to represent images in computer graphics.
- 9Bitmap GraphicsA bitmap graphic is composed of many tiny parts, called pixels, which are often many different colours. It is possible to edit each individual pixel.
- 10Raster GraphicsRaster graphics are digital images created or captured (for example, by scanning in a photo) as a set of samples of a given space. A raster is a grid of x and y coordinates on a display space.
