Multichannel Post Code Modulation

Multichannel Post Code Modulation

Overview

MPCM is an acronym for Multichannel Pulse Code Modulation

Audio on a DVD is compressed, normally using Dolby Digital or DTS encoding

As they are compressed formats they are naturally lossy by nature

With Bluray discs there is room for non-compressed audio which is called MPCM or 5.1 Uncompressed.

MPCM can only be utilized through an HDMI cable and through certain home audio receivers.

It is not normally turned on by default and the user must choose MPCM or 5.1 Uncompressed to utilize uncompressed audio
