Bit Rate

The rate at which bits are transmitted over a

communication path. Normally expressed in bits per
second (bps). The bit rate should not be confused with
the data signaling rate (baud), which measures the rate
of a signal changes being transmitted.

"easured as #bits per second,# and used to express the
rate at which data is transmitted or processed. The
higher the bit rate, the more data that is processed
and, typically, the higher the picture resolution.
