Bit Rate

The rate at which bits are transmitted over a communication path. Normally expressed in bits per second (bps). The bit rate should not be confused with the data signaling rate (baud), which measures the rate of a signal changes being transmitted.www.shiftnetworks.com/glossary.cfm

Measured as "bits per second," and used to express the rate at which data is transmitted or processed. The higher the bit rate, the more data that is processed and, typically, the higher the picture resolution.www.hdtvinfoport.com/HDTV-Glossary.html

the number of bits of data transmitted over a phone line per second203.162.7.73/cesta/www.2wire.com/lcenter/glossary.html

Number of bits transmitted per second. Expressed in bit/s or kbit/s (thousands of bits per second).www.broadcastisdn.net/glossary.php

A bit rate is the amount of information (or bits) that is transferred per second (bits per second or bps).www.idvd.ca/dvd-definitions-glossary.htm

The amount of data being transported, measured relative to quantity over time in bits per second (thousand bits per second or Kb/s, million bits per second or Mb/s, billion bits per second or Gb/s and trillion bits per second or Tb/s).www.adec.edu/tag/glossary.html

The data rate plus metadata and framing overhead make up the bit rate. Data rate refers to the “raw” or baseband data rate over time at which some file or stream is being delivered.mixonline.com/education/articles/audio_pedant_big_box/

This is the speed of a digital transmission and is measured in bits per second.www.satellite-tv-hq.com/telecom-glossary-b.htm

The number of bits (binary digits) transmitted in a specified length of time. This rate is usually expressed in bits per second (bps).www.fortfrancesbroadband.ca/terms.htm

The amount of data per unit time necessary to store or transmit audio information for a particular audio encoding method.www.sagebrush.com/audtech.htm

The rate of a binary-coded transmission which is the number of bits per secondwww.anadigics.com/glossary/b.html

a measure of bandwidth which tells you how fast data is traveling from one place to another on a computer network. Bit rate is usually expressed in kilobits (100 bits) per second or Kbps.www.iab.net/resources/glossary_b.asp

Unlike the other settings show below, the bit rate is not set by directly setting and clearing flags in tios.c_cflag . Instead, a function cfsetspeed is provided to diddle the bits for us. 7 cfsetspeed(&tios, B9600); Note that we use the preprocessor symbol B9600 , not the number 9600.frank.harvard.edu/~coldwell/terminals/

The number of bits of data sent per second. This is frequently confused with baud in the literature. For bit rates above 600 bits per second, the bit rate exceeds the baud (or baud rate).amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary/browse

The volume of data measured in bits over time. Equivalent to data rate.www.dvd-makers.com/public/485.cfm

The speed of transmission of bits. Usually measured as Bps.www.voiceanddata.com.au/vd/admin/glossary.asp

Speed of digital transmission, measured in bits per second (bits/s or b/s), or multiples of thousands or millions (Kbits/s or kb/s; Mbits/s or Mb/s).www.indiantelevision.com/inforesources/tvglossary/b.htm

the rate of transfer of information in bits per second on a communications channel.www.gbc.t-online.hu/english/bszotare1.htm

The amount of data transported in a given amount of time, usually defined in Mega (Million) bits per second (Mbps). Bit rate is one means used to define the amount of compression used on a video signal. Uncompressed D1 has a bit rate of 270 Mbps. Mpeg 1 has a bit rate to 1.2 Mbps.www.psps.com/pages_frames/tech_talk/film_and_video_terms.htm

The bit rate is the number of bits used to store one second of a digital video and/or audio sequence.biology.ncsa.uiuc.edu/library/SGI_bookshelves/SGI_EndUser/books/MediaTls_UG/sgi_html/go01.html

The speed at which digital audio and video content is streamed from a source, such as a file, to be rendered properly by a player, or the speed at which binary content in general is streamed on a network. Bit rate is usually measured in kilobits per second (Kbps), for example, 28.8 Kbps. The bit rate of a Mpeg-4 file or live stream is determined during the encoding process, when the streaming content is created. Bandwidth is the total bit rate capacity of a network. ...www.intertraff.com/support/glossary.php

Amount of digital information transmitted in a certain period of time, expressed in bits per second.www.nsab-sirius.com/list.asp

The resolution of the recording of the music file. MP3's are generally recorded at 128 kbps for the best compromise between speed and file size. source - www.mp3phonezone.com/glossary.htmwww.incendosoft.com/glossary.php

A bit is a binary digit representing two different states, either ON or OFF. The bit rate is the number of bits transmitted per second.www.homepost.co.uk/glossary.htm

A measure of how many bits of information describe each sound in an audio file. A low bit rate means lower

quality and a smaller file size, while a high bit rate means better quality and larger files.www.cdlabs.co.uk/glossary/

In telecommunications and computing, bit rate (sometimes written bitrate) is the frequency at which bits are passing a given (physical or metaphorical) "point". It is quantified using the bit per second (bit/s) unit.
