contracts as necessary to maintain the data rate constant.
! Quality Sets a constant compression level, ensuring a defined level of quality regardless of
how much data that level requires.
Note: Excess Bitrate and Quality settings can cause memory buffer overload, and stop
recording, a red ! will show on the OSD.
