4. Once you are on the vendor's calculator (#1 above), proceed to select the model number and then
specify the video codec, resolution, frame rate, and any additional parameters (#2 above) that may
be applicable to calculate the DATA RATE. It is recommended that you save a screenshot of the
calculation for future reference. Repeat for any additional model numbers.
