power function of the input video signal, the exponent of which is called gamma.
Grayscale
An achromatic scale ranging from black through a series of successively lighter grays to
white. Such a series may be made up of steps, which appear to be equally distant from one
another. If the Analog/ Digital converter is 8 bit, then the monitor can display at most 2
256 levels. For a color monitor, R.G.B. each color hads 256 levels. Thus, total color can
display is 256x256x256= 16.7 million.
H
