Bit (Computing and Social Science)

A bit is the smallest unit of information that a computer can work with. Each bit is either a one or a zero. Often computers work with chunks of bits rather than one bit at a time; the smallest chunk of bits a computer usually works with is a byte which is 8 bits.

Bit (DTV)

Binary digit. The smallest unit of data in a digital system. A bit is a single one or zero. A group of bits, such as 8-bits or 16-bits, compose a byte. The number of bits in a byte depends upon the processing system being used. Typical byte sizes are 8, 16, and 32.

Bit (DVD)

A binary digit. The smallest representation of digital data: zero/one, off/on, no/yes. Eight bits make one byte.

Bit (DVD and CD)

A binary digit. The smallest representation of digital data: zero/one, off/on, no/yes. Eight bits make one byte.

Bit (Data Recovery)

A binary digit: the smallest piece of information that can be recognized and processed by a computer. A bit is either 0 or 1. Bits can form larger units of information called bytes (8 bits).

Bit (E-Learning)

The most basic unit of information on a computer. In accordance with binary code, each bit is designated as either a 1 or a 0; all other information stored on the computer is composed of combinations of bits.

Bit (Electronic Cinematography)

A bit is the primary unit of digital data. Written in binary language as a "1" or a "0".

Bit (Entertainment)

An acting role with very few lines.

Bit (Equestrian Sports)

The metal mouthpiece to which the reins are attached.

Bit (Film Production)

A minor acting role in which an actor may only speak a few lines.

Bit (Hard Drive Recovery)

An abbreviation for a binary digit which can be either 0 or 1. A bit is the basic data unit of all digital computers. It is usually part of a data byte, or data word; however, a single bit can be used to control or read logic ON/OFF functions. A bit is a single digit in a binary number. Bits are the basic unit of information capacity on a computer storage device. Eight bits equal one byte.

Bit (Health Informatics)

1. On binar digit i bas 2 Th basi uni fo electronicall store o transmitte data Se also Byte.
2. Pe second measur o dat transmissio rate Se also Bit.

Bit (Import Cars)

1. Breakerless ignition tester 2. The smallest unit of information recogized by a computer

Bit (Interactive Marketing)

The smallest unit of data in a computer. A bit has a single binary value of either 0 or 1. There are eight bits in a byte.

Bit (Internet)

(Binary DigIT)
A single digit number in base-2, in other words, either a 1 or a zero. The smallest unit of computerized data. Bandwidthis usually measured in bits-per-second.
See also: Bandwidth, Bit, bps, Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte

Bit (Java)

The smallest unit of information in a computer, with a value of either 0 or 1.

Bit (Linux, Red Hat)

Short for binary digit. The smallest unit of information a computer can read and manipulate. The value of a bit is 1 or 0.

Bit (Magnetic Tapes)

A single numeric character. Each bit of a binary number can either be 0 or 1. An n-bit number is composed of exactly n numeric characters. An n-bit binary number can have 2n distinct values. For example, an 8-bit binary number has 28 = 256 distinct values, namely all the numbers between 00000000 (0 in decimal) and 11111111 (255 in decimal), inclusive. 8-bit quantization would discretely sample a signal and assign each sampling a value between 0 and 255, permitting 256 possible values.

Bit (Microprocessor)

A binary digit.

Bit (Music Technology)

Smallest unit of digital currency, and the basis of the binary numbering system (bit is a shortening of "binary digit). A bit may be either 0 (off), or 1 (on). Eight bits make a Byte (see below).

Bit (Networking)

A Binary Digit (either a one or a zero); a single digit number in base-2. A bit is the smallest unit of computerized data.

Bit (Photography)

The basic unit in a binary numbering system. Binary Digit.

Bit (Pipe Smoking)

The part of the pipe stem that fits in the mouth. Also called the mouthpiece.

Bit (Professional Photography)

Short for binary digit, which in a computer is the smallest unit of storage.

Bit (RAID Drive Recovery)

An abbreviation for a binary digit which can be either 0 or 1. A bit is the basic data unit of all digital computers. It is usually part of a data byte, or data word; however, a single bit can be used to control or read logic ON/OFF functions. A bit is a single digit in a binary number. Bits are the basic unit of information capacity on a computer storage device. Eight bits equal one byte.

Bit (Satellite Meteorology Acronyms)

Binary digit

Bit (Satellite Tv)

Bit is short for binary digit. It’s the smallest unit of data in a digital system, with a value of either 0 or 1. A group of bits, such as 8-bits or 16-bits, compose a byte.

Bit (Scanner)

The smallest unit of memory in the computer. A bit can be either off or on, representing a value of 0 or 1. Bits can be used in combination to represent higher numbers.

Bit (Sports, Equestrian)

The metal mouthpiece to which the reins are attached.

Bit (Storage Media)

Abbreviation for binary digit. A binary digit may have one of two values - 1 or 0. This contrasts with a decimal digit, which may have a value from 0 to 9. A bit is one of the logic 1 or logic 0 binary settings that make up a byte of data. See also Byte.

Bit (Technology)

Short for binary digit. The smallest unit of information handled by a computer. One bit expresses a 1 or a 0 in a binary numeral, or a true or false logical condition, and is represented physically by an element such as a high or low voltage at one point in a circuit or a small spot on a disk magnetized one way or the other. A single bit conveys little information a human would consider meaningful. A group of 8 bits, however, makes up a byte, which can be used to represent many types of information, such as a letter of the alphabet, a decimal digit, or other character. See also ASCII, binary, byte.

Bit (Telecommunications)

A Binary digIT. It is a number in base 2 (binary), which means that it can only be a 0 or a 1. It is used in the expres-sion `bits per second'. [See also byte].
