The trick is actually quite simple. If a 16bit displacement map is converted to a color map, using the lower 8 bits for pure red and the higher 8 bits for pure green, you can use Component nodes to separate the two bytes. Multiply the output of the green component by 256, add the output of the red component, and voila, a 16 bit displacement map. You could even go to 24 bit by also using the blue channel.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
