Large binary objects?

I've been asked to look into setting up a database for storing audio footage
with accompanying descriptive data, but as I look at the PostgreSQL specs
I don't find a "binary" data type.  Is that because this sort of thing can't
be done with PostgreSQL, or because I'm looking at it the wrong way?

TIA,
