TANDBERG MSE 8510, MCU 4500 manual Streams setting

Sets the audio and video combination to use, and the overall media bit rate.

Typically, when two streaming rates are used, one is set up as a low bit rate combination and the other configured to use a higher bit rate. This enables those users with a low bandwidth connection to achieve useful streaming while at the same time allowing those with a high bandwidth link to take advantage of enhanced video.

The available options vary depending on which media player you have chosen.
