IP Video Bitrate & Switch Calculator

Pick a codec, get the stream bitrate, then the whole system's bandwidth and the switch you need.

Encoders and decoders follow the system counts above automatically.

Switching capacity = ingress + egress; plan ≈20% headroom. Codec bitrates are planning values — verify with the vendor.
