Bps( bits per second )
Refers to the number of bits transferred in one second. The bps not often found on modems and serial interfaces.
BPS: Bits Per Second. Measurement of the number of bits transferred in a data communications system. Measures speed.
Kbit/s
Kilobits per second. The number of kilobits transmitted per second.
Kbyte
Kilobyte.
A very fast external bus standard that supports data transfer rates of up to 400 Mbps (400 million bits per second). Products supporting the 1394 standard go under different names, depending on the company.
Bit rate, which is commonly confused with bit depth, refers to the rate at which digital data is transferred or processed (most commonly bits per second). In audio and video it refers to the amount of information (number of bits) stored per second, e.
Bitrate is the amount of data used to record each second of video and is usually specified in megabits per second (mbps) - the higher the bitrate, the more detailed your videos are likely to look.
The USB standard supports data transfer rates of 12Mbps (million bits per second), a vast improvement over the serial port standard it is beginning to replace.
bps
abbrivation for bits per second.
brayer
a small hand roller used to distribute ink on a test slab or proof press.
If you do, people tell me UDMA stands for Ultra Direct Memory Access/33 megabits per second, twice the speed of some previous standard. Likewise, "300x" is only meaningful for comparing to other cards that rate themselves with the same method.
This is essentially the 'universal' method to connect a digital camera to a computer (as well as many other devices that interface with computers). Standard USB can transfer data at 480 megabits per second.
Let's not forget then that those little boxes we call modems, routers and switches were all born from a need to connect teletype machines together, transferring information at a stunningly slow 25 bits per second.
USB 2.0 - The newest USB standard, close in throughput speed to FireWire now. Up to 400Mb/s, that's Megabits per second not MegaBytes.
