  2. HTTP Live Streaming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Live_Streaming

    HTTP Live Streaming (also known as HLS) is an HTTP-based adaptive bitrate streaming communications protocol developed by Apple Inc. and released in 2009. Support for the protocol is widespread in media players, web browsers, mobile devices, and streaming media servers.

  3. List of interface bit rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interface_bit_rates

    Wireless devices, BPL, and modems may produce a higher line rate or gross bit rate, due to error-correcting codes and other physical layer overhead. It is extremely common for throughput to be far less than half of theoretical maximum, though the more recent technologies (notably BPL) employ preemptive spectrum analysis to avoid this and so ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units

    The ISQ symbols for the bit and byte are bit and B, respectively.In the context of data-rate units, one byte consists of 8 bits, and is synonymous with the unit octet.The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per ...

  5. Bit rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rate

    For real-time streaming multimedia, the encoding bit rate is the goodput that is required to avoid playback interruption. The term average bitrate is used in case of variable bitrate multimedia source coding schemes. In this context, the peak bit rate is the maximum number of bits required for any short-term block of compressed data. [17]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_bitrate_streaming

    Adaptive streaming overview Adaptive streaming in action. Adaptive bitrate streaming is a technique used in streaming multimedia over computer networks.. While in the past most video or audio streaming technologies utilized streaming protocols such as RTP with RTSP, today's adaptive streaming technologies are based almost exclusively on HTTP, [1] and are designed to work efficiently over large ...

  8. Comparison of video codecs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_codecs

    Variable bitrate (VBR) and; Constant bitrate (CBR). Variable bitrate (VBR) is a strategy to maximize the visual video quality and minimize the bitrate. On fast-motion scenes, a variable bitrate uses more bits than it does on slow-motion scenes of similar duration, yet achieves a consistent visual quality.

  9. Variable bitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_bitrate

    Single-pass VBR encoding is usually controlled by the fixed quality setting or by the bitrate range (minimum and maximum allowed bitrate) or by the average bitrate setting. Multi-pass encoding is used when the encoding quality is most important. Multi-pass encoding cannot be used in real-time encoding, live broadcast or live streaming. Multi ...
