Huh? All 16 bits are significant. If you want to insert something
with fewer bits (as a server), I suggest you duplicate your bits until
all the bits are filled. E.g. if you have a 5-bit intensity 01001b, I
suggest that you send 01001 01001 01001 0b, or 0x4a52. If you only need
less (as a client), I suggest you grab the most significant bits.
