TOTAL CONTENTS TIME
If you already know the duration of the video to be recorded, this parameter can be set to the
corresponding time to allow your BD-X200 to select the optimum encoding bit rate. (Make a setting
in hours and minutes.)
●
If the recording time is set using this parameter, ENCODE QUALITY will be set automatically,
and this setting may not be modified manually.
●
If this function is not to be used, set it to NO USE.
When this setting is made, ENCODE QUALITY will be returned to its previous setting.
ENCODE QUALITY (Mbps)
This parameter can be set when TOTAL CONTENTS TIME has been set to NO USE.
Specifically, it allows direct setting of the encoding bit rate (i.e., the amount of data per second).
Large values increase the quality of the video; however, this also increases the overall data size.
Setting range:
The range of values that can be set depends on the audio encoding format.
LPCM
: 4.0 to 7.8 Mbps (in 0.2 Mbps steps)
DOLBY DIGITAL : 2.0 to 9.0 Mbps (in 0.2 Mbps steps)
