Seeing this digital camera today, Feng Yu suddenly thought that many of these digital cameras in his previous life have since become digital video cameras, which can take both photos and video clips.
Nowadays, there are digital cameras. Even as early as 1998, Sunny launched the first true digital camera, but the storage device at that time was still a 3.5-inch floppy disk.
In other words, that digital camera can only shoot short videos. If it is longer, the capacity will not be enough. Later, there were digital cameras that used VCD discs as storage devices, and now DVDs are used as storage devices, after several generations of development.
However, Feng Yu is very clear that in the future, either flash memory or hard disk will be used as storage device. This kind of DVD will also be eliminated soon.
In the previous life, it seems that companies such as Sunny and Dongzhi later joined forces to formulate the DV standard and HDV standard, which are high-definition digital video standards. Then they made a lot of money just by relying on patent licensing, technology licensing, etc.
At that time, various domestically produced DVs were available in the country, and the prices were not too expensive, and they used the technology of Sunny and others. In this way, it blocks the technological research and development of domestic manufacturers, forcing them to continue to purchase new technologies from companies such as Suini, thus monopolizing upstream resources by companies such as Suini.
Feng Yu pinched his chin. Now there is only the DV standard. Should we get the HDV standard first
If this is the case, it will hinder the development of island country enterprises for a long time, right? Taking a step back, it can also allow them to start a confrontation with themselves and thus abandon their monopoly position.
This needs to be discussed with Philip, Jiang Wanmeng, Xu Lihua and others. Even if the investment is high, we still have to do it. This future profit is not a small amount.
Besides, this technology can be applied to mobile phones. All mainstream mobile phones in the future will be able to shoot videos. If Fengyu Mobile is the first to launch a mobile phone that shoots videos, then the saying that Fengyu Mobile leads the trend will never be shaken again!
But the most urgent task now is to upgrade the DVD format.
Fengyu Electronics leads the DVD forum and develops HDDVD, which is a high-definition DVD format. Of course, this is also a product that comes with the emergence of high-definition TVs.
TVs weren't that clear back then, so no matter how high-definition a DVD you develop, it's still useless, and the effect will still be the same.
But now that TVs are available in high definition, the difference between high-definition DVDs and ordinary DVDs can be seen with the naked eye. Who doesn't like to see movies more clearly if possible
As for you saying that high-definition DVD discs will be more expensive? That's not a problem at all. People who buy high-definition TVs are not short of money!
Moreover, Feng Yu also learned that the DVD Alliance, which Sunny and others joined, has also begun to lead the development of Blu-ray DVD, which is also a high-definition DVD, but the standards of the two parties are different again.
Island companies that were originally in the DVD Forum, such as Songxia, JVC, Hitachi, and Siling, had problems with Fengyu Electronics in other aspects, so they withdrew from the DVD Forum and instead invested in the DVD Alliance.
They believe that the unfair treatment they received in the DVD Forum is mainly because after Songxia's approval representative seat expired, other companies in the island country did not even take the turn of approval representatives. Instead, those small companies in China were successfully elected. The shady story is too damn It’s serious!
And they have completely forgotten that the technology they obtained in the DVD forum turned around and hooked up with companies such as Sunni to help the DVD Alliance in exchange for other benefits.
Otherwise, with the greater strength of the DVD Forum, which is far ahead in terms of technology, funds, and number of members, the DVD Alliance should have given up long ago.
This time the Blu-ray DVD Alliance will lead the formulation and promotion of the Blu-ray DVD standard format, and companies such as Songxia joined it without hesitation.
Feng Yu had long expected this kind of backstabbing behavior. Fortunately, the major companies are still here in the HDDVD Forum, such as Philips, Thomson, Tata, Four Star, Minji, etc.
In this case, except for some second- and third-tier electronic consumer goods companies in island countries, Europe and the United States, other companies are still on the DVD forum.
However, the island nation has always been one of the best in the world in the field of consumer electronics, and their energy cannot be underestimated.
Blu-ray DVD and HDDVD actually still have a lot in common. For example, they still use the original 120 mm diameter optical disc as the storage medium, and both use 405 nanometer blue laser beams for reading and writing operations (DVD has a wavelength of 650 nanometers. Red light read and write operations, CD has a wavelength of 780 nanometers), but just like the standard dispute between the DVD Forum and the DVD Alliance, everyone has formulated different format standards.
The HDDVD promoted by Feng Yu and others has a great advantage, that is, its manufacturing process is the same as that of traditional DVD. In other words, the manufacturer does not need to replace the equipment, but only needs to debug it.
As for the capacity, the single-layer data of HDDVD is 15G, while the single-layer data of Blu-ray DVD promoted by Sunny can reach 25G. It seems that Sunny's Blu-ray DVD has a larger storage capacity and should be more popular.
It's a pity that Sunny and the others don't understand that this high-definition DVD is destined to be just a transitional product, because the development of flash memory applications is getting faster and faster at this time.
Yes, in theory DVD can record sixteen layers, so the peak capacity of HDDVD promoted by Feng Yu is only 180G, while the peak capacity of Blu-ray DVD promoted by Suini can reach 400G.
Not to mention that this is only a theoretical capacity. Currently, there are relatively few mainstream devices that can record double layers and three layers. There are none above the fourth floor!
Sunny's Blu-ray DVD format itself is different from the traditional recording method. If they want to update the product production line, it will naturally increase their manufacturing costs.
HDDVD, on the other hand, can win at low prices in the early stages. After all, a two-hour high-definition movie at this time will not exceed 15G. Even if it is like Titanic, double-layer data is enough, and the equipment does not need to be upgraded.
Sunny and the others believe that their Blu-ray DVD can also be used as a commercial data storage device to provide server data backup and so on. Not to mention, most people use mobile hard drives for storage, and the most criticized thing about mobile hard drives is that they are fragile. But aren’t Blu-ray DVD discs vulnerable
In the future, most of this type of commercial data storage equipment will use flash memory!
When Blu-ray DVD develops, the capacity of flash memory will exceed 128G. When there are more stable and compact flash drives, what do you think others will choose
Feng Yu and others promoted this HDDVD, on the one hand, to make a profit, and on the other hand, they dragged island companies into the high-definition optical disc technology competition, so that they would have no energy to focus on the development of flash memory technology.
After two years, they will regret it!
