Normally when people read or listen to some of the terms they use frequently referred to music or video when playing on a digital device, it is possible that some terms are very confusing for the common user.
Sometimes people do not understand at all what these terms refer to and therefore make bad decisions in this regard, it may also happen that they completely ignore this information which generates an unsatisfactory result.
That is bitrate, a complete explanation.
When we play music or video, we are transmitting information from a file to the medium that reproduces that information. Bitrate measures the amount of information What is transmitted every second.
let’s look at an example that will allow us to understand very clearly what exactly bitrate is.
Imagine that I must tell you what happened at a dinner, but I can only use three words to tell you what dinner was like.
I could say For example “it was very tasty” and already there use the three words you could use. Of course the description and information is too short.
and instead, I can use 10 words, my description will have information and therefore it will be a higher quality description.
“It was a tasty dinner, with a very familiar and warm atmosphere” if you look closely at crypto contains more information so much makes a better portrait of what happened that night.
And if instead of using 10 words I can use 300 words it could be a much clearer story, with better quality.
Well that’s exactly what happens with bitrate. when a song or video is played if only a small amount of bits can be transmitted every second, detail that can be displayed will be poor because many details will have to be omitted. on the other hand, as the amount of bits increases every second, the audio will continue to be enriched so much will be of higher quality.
So now we are clear. Because it is important the amount of information transmitted every second, going to have greater wealth is to say higher quality. then act to what the term bitrate refers and now we understand exactly what it means. It is obvious that more bits per second will take up more space on the hard disk. Why the file will contain much more information And in return we will get more details and more richness in reproduction.
We will have to decide if what we want is to save disk space and therefore we will choose a low bit rate or on the contrary our priority will be quality and in that case we will choose a higher bit rate, with much more information per second. but that will take up much more space on the hard drive.
in the same way that a description of three words occupied much less space but transmitted a much poorer description, on the other hand a description of 400 words will occupy much more space But it will offer description in much more detail and therefore with greater quality.
Did you see that it was very easy to understand what bitrate means?
