En ekstra værdi, som - foruden værdierne for rød, grøn og blå - lagres med hvert billedpunkt i bitmapbilleder. Alfa-værdien bestemmer graden af gennemsigtighed (transparens). Typisk benyttes 8 bits (1 byte) til hver værdi, så almindelige RGB-bitmaps benytter 24 bits. Med den ekstra alfa-kanal benyttes 32 bits.
Især nyttig i forbindelse med anti-aliasing.

Asynchronous
Term describing digital signals that are transmitted without precise clocking. Such signals generally have different frequencies and phase relationships. Asynchronous transmissions usually encapsulate individual characters in control bits (called start and stop bits) that designate the beginning and end of each character
