bitrate

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Bitrate' refers to the rate at which data is transferred or processed. It's typically measured in bits per second (bps). This is an important factor in things like media streaming, because it can affect the quality and speed of the data transfer.

Examples in Different Contexts

While discussing digital marketing, a content strategist might suggest, 'To reach users with slower connections, we might consider offering a lower bitrate version of our promotional video.'
