BitRate Property
Summary
Gets the average bit rate achieved by the multiplexer.
Syntax
[DispIdAttribute(1)]
int BitRate {get;}
<DispIdAttribute(1)>
ReadOnly Property BitRate As Integer
[DispIdAttribute(1)]
property int BitRate {
int get();
}
Property Value
An System.Int32 value that represents the average bit rate achieved by the multiplexer.
