Maximum bitrate (MBR)

With maximum bitrate, you can set a target bitrate to handle bitrate limitations in your system. You may see a decline in image
quality or frame rate when the instantaneous bitrate is kept below the specified target bitrate. You can choose to either prioritize
image quality or frame rate. We recommend that you configure the target bitrate to a higher value than the expected bitrate. This
gives you a margin for additional complexity that needs to be captured.
