SureStream optimizes your media experience by shifting between streams
encoded at higher and lower
bandwidths.
If there is heavy congestion on the Web, 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.
Though SureStream usually switches between streams without any interruption in
playback, you may occasionally experience interruptions during a stream
switch.
Watch your Net Health icon for
information about the quality of your connection and SureStream during
playback.
