SureStream

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.
