quality, the “bps” unit is used to represent how much data can be
recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the picture
quality becomes but more capacity is required for the recording.
Select XP or SP for programmes where quick movement occurs,
such as sports programmes, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc. with
relatively less movement.
