the representation of analog signals as discrete pulses of digital information

Jensen's Technology Glossary
PCM
Pulse Code Modulation of audio waveform sampling that records actual values rather than the ADPVM difference between samples. This decreases fidelity with higher resolution than ADPCM. (See also Audio and ADPCM )

PCM
Pulse Code Modulation: An audio encoding algorithm which encodes the amplitude of a repetitive series of audio samples. This encoding algorithm converts analog voice samples into a digital bit stream.

PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation)
This is the form of the digital audio signal used for both CD and laserdisc. It is a serial data stream that is coded for transmission or recording. PCM is also used for many other types of serial data communications.

PCM
Project Cycle Management

The dominant donor approach to [donor-] evaluations locates them within the ‘project cycle management’ (PCM). While the details and nuances of this terminology will vary from donor agency to donor agency, PCM will always include the same basic components: project identification and design; project implementation and project evaluation. These are often represented as being in a dynamic, interactive relationship with a built in feedback loop.

PCM
Pulse-Code Modulation: A technique in which an analog signal, such as a voice, is converted into a digital signal by sampling the signal's amplitude and expressing the different amplitudes as a binary number The sampling rate must be at least twice the highest frequency in the signal.

Telecommunication Standard Terms
PCM
Abbreviation for pulse-code modulation.

pulse code modulation (PCM)
Modulation in which a signal is sampled, and the magnitude (with respect to a fixed reference) of each sample is quantized and digitized for transmission over a common transmission medium. (188 ) Note 1: In conventional PCM, before being digitized, the analog data may be processed (e.g., compressed), but once digitized, the PCM signal is not subjected to further processing (e.g., digital compaction) before being multiplexed into the aggregate data stream. Note 2: PCM pulse trains may be interleaved with pulse trains from other channels.

PCM
Abbreviation for pulse code modulation, a way of digitally recording an audio signal. Used in most 8mm decks and in some high-end VHS and S-VHS decks. Peak to Peak The measurement of any signal from the lowest value to the highest. In a composite or full video signal, this should be 1 Volt.

PCM Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Pulse-code modulation
Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a digital representation of an analog signal where the magnitude of the signal is sampled regularly at uniform intervals, then quantized to a series of symbols in a digital (usually binary) code. PCM has been used in digital telephone systems and is also the standard form for digital audio in computers and the compact disc red book format. It is also standard in digital video, for example, using ITU-R BT.601. However, straight PCM is not typically used for video in consumer applications such as DVD or DVR because it requires too high a bit rate (PCM audio is supported by the DVD standard but rarely used). Instead, compressed variants of PCM are normally employed. However, many Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD movies use uncompressed PCM for audio. Very frequently, PCM encoding facilitates digital transmission from one point to another (within a given system, or geographically) in serial form.
