24-bit and video
Video sampling tends to work on a completely different scale altogether thanks to the highly nonlinear response both of cathode ray tubes ( for which the vast majority of digital video foundation work was targeted ) and the human eye, using a " gamma curve " to provide an appearance of evenly distributed brightness steps across the display's full dynamic range-hence the need to use RAMDACs in computer video applications with deep enough colour resolution to make engineering a hardcoded value into the DAC for each output level of each channel impractical ( e. g. an Atari ST or Sega Genesis would require 24 such values ; a 24-bit video card would need 768 ...).
