3(b)(ii)Image RepresentationEasy2 marks
The bitmap images have a bit depth of 2 bytes. Each image is 2048 pixels wide by 1536 pixels high. One second of video contains eight individual bitmap images.
There is no sound recording in this part of the video.
Calculate an estimate for the file size of one second of the video in mebibytes (MiB).
Answer =
MiB
