24 APPENDIX - Glossar y Dithering When going from one type of bit resolution to a lower , e.g. from 24 bit to 16 bit, you actually loose 8 bits of information. The process of cutting of bits is called truncation and it introduces digital distortion of low level signals, due to the lack of complete signal information.
