# kVTCompressionPreset_Balanced

## Declaration

```swift
let kVTCompressionPreset_Balanced: CFString
```

## Discussion

Discussion A preset to provide a balanced compression quality and encoding speed. An encoder configured using this preset is expected to achieve a higher quality than an encoder configured with the preset kVTCompressionPreset_HighSpeed. The preset kVTCompressionPreset_HighSpeed may be preferred for a faster encoding. The preset kVTCompressionPreset_HighQuality may be preferred for a higher compression quality. See also kVTCompressionPreset_HighQuality, kVTCompressionPreset_HighSpeed, kVTCompressionPreset_VideoConferencing, kVTCompressionPreset_ConsistentQuality.
