●●What is bit rate

Bit rate is the data volume for a given period of time. The bigger the volume, the higher the picture quality. This unit uses the “VBR” recording method. “VBR” is an abbreviation of “Variable Bit Rate”, and the bit rate (volume of data for definite period of time) is changed automatically depending on the subject to record. Therefore, the recording time is shortened when a subject with fast movement is recorded.
