PCM - Pulse Code Modulation

PCM or pulse-code modulation is a method to digitally represent sampled analog signals. This is the standard system for digital audio in computers and various DVD, Blu-ray formats and in digital telephone systems.


Each sample is quantized to the nearest value within a range of digital steps. The two properties of PCM are the sample rate and the bit depth, this determines the number of digital values in the range.


See article on Bit depth and Sample Rate for more info.

Matt Price
