Bandwidth	Minimum: 200 kb/sec Recommended: 600 kb/sec Note: The minimum streaming video bandwidth requirement is approximately 200 kb/sec per user for the lowest quality stream. Therefore, if 10 users were streaming video concurrently, the minimum bandwidth requirement would be approximately 2 Mb/sec. The recommended bandwidth requirement is 600 kb/sec per user for the highest quality video stream. Quality of videos: Videos are streamed at 3 different bit rates to allow for the best quality for your bandwidth. The NBCU Video Player automatically determines your connection speed and chooses the highest quality stream for the amount of bandwidth that is available.
Internet Connection	Broadband/High Speed Internet Connection (DSL or Cable) Note: We do not recommend viewing streaming videos using any low bandwidth connection (weak wireless or dial-up).However, all videos may be downloaded to your local computer and played back without an internet connection. We recommend using this feature for schools with weak or no internet connection. Downloaded videos can be played back on a PC or Mac, and can be embedded into PowerPoint presentations.
