Study Notes
Digital Audio Standards
- The standard form of digital audio in computers, compact discs, and digital telephony is Pulse Code Modulation (PCM).
PCM Quantization
- In Linear PCM (LPCM), the quantization levels are linearly uniform.
PCM Stream Properties
- The number of possible digital values in a PCM stream is determined by the number of bits used for quantization.
- The sampling rate of a PCM stream is defined as the number of times per second that samples are taken.
Non-Linear PCM Encodings
- In contrast to LPCM, non-linear PCM encodings, such as A-law and μ-law, have quantization levels that vary as a function of amplitude.
