Encoders with Variable Bit Rates
We recommend that customers with variable bit rates cap the bit rate at the encoder to avoid bit rate
spikes, which may result in throughput exceeding the supported throughput allowed in the Cisco ECDS.
Use the show bitrate [movie-streamer | wmt] command in Privileged EXEC mode to display the bit
rate allocated to a particular device. Use the bitrate command in Global configuration mode to configure
the maximum pacing bit rate for large files for the Movie Streamer and to separately configure WMT
bit-rate settings.
