Monitoring Bitrates
The BNP can simultaneously monitor up to 14 programs. If the total selected number of programs
exceeds 15, the programs in the earlier monitoring list are shifted out, and newly selected programs are
added to the bottom of the list. The bit rate monitor window only keeps up to 14 programs. Each
program is shown as a percentage of the total.
