Definition of Bitrate


Bit rate (bitrate or as a variable R) is the number of bits transferred or processed per unit of time in telecommunications and computing.

The bit rate is given in bits per second (symbol: bit/s), which is sometimes followed by a SI prefix such as kilo (1 kbit/s = 1,000 bit/s), mega (1 Mbit/s = 1,000 kbit/s), giga (1 Gbit/s = 1,000 Mbit/s), or tera (1 Tbit/s = 1,000 Gbit/s). The non-standard shorthand bps is sometimes used to substitute the usual symbol bit/s, so that 1 Mbps means one million bits per second.

Bitrate, which is commonly measured in bits per second (bps), is critical in determining the audio quality of podcasts. It has an impact on file size and streaming quality, making it an essential factor for creators such as podcasters who make use of podcast hosting services.
