BitRateLimit Property

Summary
Gets or sets the forced bit rate limit, in bits per second.
Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
[DispIdAttribute(2)] 
int BitRateLimit {get; set;} 
[DispIdAttribute(2)] 
property int BitRateLimit { 
   int get(); 
   void set (    int ); 
} 

Property Value

An System.Int32 value that represents the forced bit rate limit, in bits per second. The default value of the bit rate limit is -1, which means that the multiplexer is not restricted to a bit rate.

Remarks

The multiplexer will output the data at a slower rate, in relation to the input rate, to limit the bit rate. However, the average bit rate may slightly exceed the requested limit.

Example
C#
using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Multimedia; 
using LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm(); 
public CaptureCtrl _captureCtrl; 
 
const int MaxBitRate = 128; 
const int TestBitRate = MaxBitRate + 1; 
 
public void NetworkMultiplexerExample() 
{ 
   // reference the capture control 
   _captureCtrl = _form.CaptureCtrl; 
 
   // output file 
   string outFile = @"ltsf://127.0.0.1:27015"; 
 
   try 
   { 
      // try to find a USB camera 
      if (_captureCtrl.VideoDevices["Logitech"] == null)

            _result = true; 
         } 
 
         // start capture 
         _captureCtrl.StartCapture(CaptureMode.Video); 
 
         // we'll loop on the state and pump messages for this example. 
         // but you should not need to if running from a Windows Forms application. 
         while (_captureCtrl.State == CaptureState.Running) 
         { 
            if (pMux != null) 
            { 
               // confirm that the actual bitrate does not exceed our max specified above 
               _result &= (pMux.BitRate / 1024 < TestBitRate); 
            } 
            Application.DoEvents(); 
         } 
 
         // release the mux since its a COM object 
         if (pMux != null) 
            Marshal.ReleaseComObject(pMux); 
      } 
   } 
   catch (Exception) 
   { 
      _result = false; 
   } 
}
