SureStream

SureStream optimizes your media experience by shifting between streams encoded at higher and lower bandwidths.

If there is heavy Net Traffic, RealPlayer can opt to "downshift" to a stream that will have fewer problems during playback. Also, if you have a particularly good connection, or if congestion clears on the net, RealPlayer can "upshift" to a higher quality stream.

Although SureStream usually switches between streams without any interruption in playback, you may occasionally experience interruptions during a stream switch.

Watch your Status bar for information about Net Traffic and SureStream during playback.
