  2. 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]

  3. Adaptive bitrate streaming - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  4. Average bitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_bitrate

    Average bitrate can also refer to a form of variable bitrate (VBR) encoding in which the encoder will try to reach a target average bitrate or file size while allowing the bitrate to vary between different parts of the audio or video. As it is a form of variable bitrate, this allows more complex portions of the material to use more bits and ...

  5. Data-rate units - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  6. 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.

  7. Variable bitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_bitrate

    Variable bitrate (VBR) is a term used in telecommunications and computing that relates to the bitrate used in sound or video encoding. As opposed to constant bitrate (CBR), VBR files vary the amount of output data per time segment.

  8. Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Adaptive_Streaming...

    DASH is an adaptive bitrate streaming technology where a multimedia file is partitioned into one or more segments and delivered to a client using HTTP. [15] A media presentation description (MPD) describes segment information (timing, URL, media characteristics like video resolution and bit rates), and can be organized in different ways such as SegmentList, SegmentTemplate, SegmentBase and ...

  9. Constant bitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_bitrate

    Constant bitrate (CBR) is a term used in telecommunications, relating to the quality of service.Compare with variable bitrate. [1]When referring to codecs, constant bit rate encoding means that the rate at which a codec's output data should be consumed is constant.
