Representation: capture bytes: A-D

• An LCD unit or picture tube generates a voltage for each of the three primary colors, for each picture element (pixel).
• The Analog to Digital converter produces an integer 0-255 for each value.
• The resulting bitstream is an interleaving of the 3 values, produced for the overall image that is scanned left to right, top to bottom.
• Each value takes a byte, so we have 24 bit color
