PCMpohjaiset
PCMpohjaiset is a term used in Finnish-language technical literature to describe systems and architectures that are based on pulse-code modulation (PCM). In this framing, PCM streams function as the primary data representation for digital audio and related signals, in contrast to compressed, encoded, or object-based formats. The name combines PCM with pohjaiset, a Finnish suffix meaning "based on" or "grounded in."
Applications of PCM-based designs are common in consumer and professional digital audio devices, telecommunication equipment, and
Technical characteristics include linear PCM data with typical bit depths of 16 or 24 bits and sampling
History and usage: PCM has long been a standard in digital audio and telephony. While modern systems
