Bit Rate
makerBit rate is the number of bits transmitted per second in a digital network.
expanded
In digital communication systems, bit rate refers to the volume of data expressed in bits that are conveyed or processed per second. It is an important parameter in determining the quality and speed of data transmission, affecting everything from video streaming quality to network connectivity. Higher bit rates can accommodate more data-intensive applications, such as HD video streaming or high-quality music playback.
examples
A video streaming service transmits content with a bit rate of 5 Mbps (megabits per second) to ensure high-definition quality.
This is commonly used in streaming platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video where the bit rate is a crucial factor for video quality and buffering time.
An audio file encoded at a bit rate of 320 kbps (kilobits per second) for high-fidelity sound quality.
High bit rate audio files are often used in music streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music to ensure clear and accurate playback quality.
