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,
