| 64-bit | 64-Bit- (Of, pertaining to, or descriptive of the amount of data -64 bits, or 8 bytes- that certain computer systems or programs can process at one time) |
| 8-bit color | 8-Bit-Farbe (A display setting that holds up to 256 specific color entries. Any color palette attached to a picture is by definition an 8-bit palette) |
| bit density | Bitdichte (A measure of the amount of information per unit of linear distance or surface area in a storage medium or per unit of time in a communications pipeline) |
| 128-bit encryption | 128-Bit-Verschlüsselung (A high level of encryption that uses a 128-bit key to scramble the contents of a file or data packet to make the data unreadable without the decryption key) |
| 40-bit encryption | 40-Bit-Verschlüsselung (A low level of encryption that uses a 40-bit key to scramble the contents of a file or data packet to make the data unreadable without the decryption key) |
| bit image | Bitbild (" A sequential collection of bits that represents in memory an image to be displayed on the screen, particularly in systems having a graphical user interface. Each bit in a bit image corresponds to one pixel (dot) on the screen. The screen itself, for example, represents a single bit image; similarly, the dot patterns for all the characters in a font represent a bit image of the font. In a black-andwhite display each pixel is either white or black, so it can be represented by a single bit. The "pattern" of 0s and 1s in the bit image then determines the pattern of white and black dots forming an image on the screen. In a color display the corresponding description of on-screen bits is called a pixel image because more than one bit is needed to represent each pixel. ") |
| 32 bit machine | 32-Bit-Computer (A computer that works with data in groups of 32 bits at a time. The Apple Macintosh II and higher models are 32-bit machines, in terms of both the word size of their microprocessors and the size of the data buses, as are computers based on the Intel 80386 and higher-level microprocessors) |
| bit manipulation | Bitmanipulation (An action intended to change only one or more individual bits within a byte or word. Manipulation of the entire byte or word is much more common and generally simpler) |
| bit mask | Bitmaske (A numeric value intended for a bit-by-bit value comparison with other numeric values, typically to flag options in parameter or return values. Usually this comparison is done with bitwise logical operators, such as And and Or in Visual Basic, && and || in C++) |
| bit rate | Bitrate (The speed at which binary digits are transmitted) |
| bit-rate throttling | Bitratendrosselung (The ability to slow down the rate at which files can be downloaded) |
| bit specification | Bitspezifikation (The number of colors or levels of gray that can be displayed at one time. The amount or memory in the computer's graphics controller card controls the display. An 8-bit controller can display 256 colors or levels of gray; a 16-bit controller, 64,000 colors; and a 24-bit controller, 16.8 million colors) |
| 128-bit SSL encryption | 128-Bit-SSL-Verschlüsselung (An encryption level used for SSL. The number refers to the length of the key, so the higher the number, the more difficult the encryption is to break) |
| bit stream | Bitstrom (In synchronous communications, a continuous flow of data in which characters in the stream are separated from one another by the receiving station rather than by markers, such as start and stop bits, inserted into the data) |
| bit-wise comparison | bitweiser Vergleich (A bit-by-bit comparison of identically positioned bits in two numeric expressions) |
| broadcast bit | Übertragungsbit (A one-bit field value in the flags field of the DHCP packet sent by the client to provide a hint to the DHCP server and to the relay agents to broadcast any messages sent to the client) |
| constant bit rate | konstante Bitrate (A characteristic of a data stream in which the bit rate remains nearly uniform for the duration of the stream) |
| constant bit rate | konstante Bitrate (A characteristic of a data stream in which the bit rate remains nearly uniform for the duration of the stream) |
| multiple bit rate | Mehrfachbitrate (A characteristic of a data stream in which the same content is encoded at several different bit rates in oder to optimize content delivery) |
| multiple bit rate encoding | Codierung mit Mehrfachbitrate (An encoding method where a single WMV file contains several streams of varying bit rates) |
| parity bit | Paritätsbit (In asynchronous communications, an extra bit used in checking for errors in groups of data bits transferred within or between computer systems. In modem-to-modem communications, a parity bit is often used to check the accuracy with which each character is transmitted) |
| secure bit | Sicherheitsbit (The bit in a key message used to notify the supplicant and authenticator when a key exchange is complete and a link is considered secure. The bit is set to 0 (not secure) or 1 (secure)) |
| sign bit | Vorzeichenbit (The most significant, or leftmost, bit of a number field, usually set to 1 if the number is negative) |
| variable bit rate | variable Bitrate (A characteristic of a data stream in which the bit rate fluctuates, depending upon the complexity of the data) |
| variable bit rate | variable Bitrate (A characteristic of a data stream in which the bit rate fluctuates, depending upon the complexity of the data) |
