Note on frame rate
A moving picture consists of continuous still
images. Frame rate indicates the number of
images played back in one second. The more the
number increases, the more natural the moving
picture becomes.
Note on transmission rate
The higher the transmission rate, the more
natural the moving picture becomes.
