What is the bit rate in a video?
![]()
Bit rate is the amount of data that can be processed within a certain period of time and the transmission speed of the communication, and is generally expressed as the number of bits processed / transmitted in one second (Bit per second / bps).

Since the video also shows an image that changes over time, there is a certain amount of data that needs to be processed / displayed within a certain period of time. This is also called the bit rate. Set the required / appropriate value for the video bit rate according to the video specifications (resolution, pitch, frame rate, compression performance, etc.).
That is, each of the video frames requires a large amount of information, because depending on the resolution, it will show many pixels, each with different brightness, colors, etc. There is also sound, which in itself is an important amount of information.
And since the duration of each frame in the video lasts a certain time, graphic information must be forwarded in addition to the audio. This implies that you need to send a number of bits every second to be able to obtain a video with good image and sound quality.
As the amount of bist is smaller, the quality will be less good.
