 Not necessarily.  Remember Radium said that he's imagining a psychedelic
 entertainment system (of a remarkably slow sort...)  How many pixels are
 described by each bit, and how, is determined entirely by his
 (unspecified) encoding.
 
 Think postscript or PDF.  In postscript I can make an entire page any
 colour I like with a few bytes, irrespective of the final resolution of
 the page.  Obviously Radium's encoding may be different, but since his
 information delivery rate and frame/sample rates are so low, I don't
 imagine the result being very interesting.
 
 Cheers,
