== Nomenclature? ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote>The word pulse in the term Pulse Width Modulation is somewhat confusing, as there appear to be no "pulses" per se anywhere to be found.</blockquote><br />
I believe this should read 'Pulse Code Modulation'. Please confirm.<br />

== High Definition Media ==<br />
<br />
From what I have read, many Blu-ray movies have PCM soundtracks. But HD DVD? I don't think ANY of my HD DVD movies have a PCM soundtrack. I am not sure "many" applies to HD DVD PCM soundtracks.<br />

== Floating point PCM ==<br />
<br />
PCM is usually assumed to be integers, but also includes floating point samples. Is the definition basically "samples encoded as binary"? So it could use some other encoding scheme like [[Unum (number format)]] and still be PCM? https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=520701 — [[User:Omegatron|Omegatron]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Omegatron|talk]]) 16:59, 6 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== LPCM ==<br />
<br />
Could someone who understands this please provide a more detailed explanation?<br /><br />
Perhaps a diagram - the sine wave diagram is very nice but I am having trouble relating this to LPCM... <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/207.81.124.137|207.81.124.137]] ([[User talk:207.81.124.137#top|talk]]) 02:45, 12 January 2022 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--></div>imported>Barkercoder
