 Bit rate

The bit rate counts transmitted data bits per unit time. State which representation is being counted: payload bits and encoded link bits need not have the same rate.

Bit rate, often expressed in bits per second (bps), refers to the amount of binary data transmitted or processed in a given amount of time over a communication channel. It is a key indicator of the quality and performance of digital audio, video, and other types of multimedia transmissions. There are several contexts in which bit rate is commonly discussed: 1. **Audio Bit Rate**: In digital audio, bit rate typically affects the quality of the sound.
