Bitrate control
With bitrate control, you can manage the bandwidth consumption of your video stream.
Variable bitrate (VBR)
With variable bitrate, the bandwidth consumption varies based on the level of activity in the scene. The more activity in the scene,
the more bandwidth you need. You are guaranteed constant image quality but it requires storage margins.
