+**Bitrate** measures the amount of data transferred or processed per unit of time, typically expressed in bits per second. It quantifies the richness of a digital stream, directly influencing [Media Quality](/wiki/media_quality) and [File Size](/wiki/file_size) for content like audio or video. A higher bitrate generally means more detail, but also larger data.
