installations, 10–15 frames per second is adequate. Full Frame is 30
frames per second, which is equivalent to movie theaters.
Max Bitrate Mode affects how you choose your maximum bitrate.
Selecting General gives you a variety of stock choices. Selecting
Custom lets you use the virtual keyboard to enter any number
between 32 and 6144.
Max Bitrate (Kbps) is where you actually determine your maximum
bitrate, This will either be a dropdown or a manual entry, based on
your choice above.
Max Bitrate Range Recommended is not editable. It provides a
recommended speed based on throughput for typical installations.
