Chapter 783: Disruptive Innovation and Product Pricing

"DVD!" Jiang Wanmeng took a deep breath and said, "This kind of product doesn't just stay on PPT, we already have actual samples on site!"

A 3.6GB DVD disc has 5 times the capacity of the previous VCD disc!

Larger-capacity discs make the disc clearer and more high-definition!

You know, we have launched a super VCD disc before, through the software optimization of VCD, barely achieve 720P resolution, but a disc can only store content below 30 minutes.

Therefore, the 720P high-definition version of the VCD disc is usually not used to store TV dramas, but to store high-definition animations!

One disc at a time, like this!

Even so, the optimization of various software and hardware aspects of super VCD actually only achieves the effect of pseudo 720P!

The real 720P clarity should be more than 1G, or even 2G, 3G capacity!

Therefore, a DVD disc can really store 720P or more high-definition movies!

Even...... The resolution of DVD is not only 720P, but 1080P HD is our new HD standard!

1080P movies, if the data is as high as 7G, we only need 2 DVD discs, which can really be done, and the current theater, the same level of high-definition ......"

In an instant, the atmosphere present quickly became more hot, and bursts of applause rang out!

Even if the audience and media personnel who may have come to observe with a provocative mentality before, they couldn't help but be attracted by Jiang Wanmeng's topic.

After all, there are many people in the world who have great curiosity about novel scientific and technological advances. Even if you don't have the ability to innovate and change the world, as long as you have a certain amount of common sense, you know that technological innovation is the main driving force for the continuous development of human beings.

Therefore, people are often easily attracted by the continuous advancement of new technologies. In particular, new technologies and products that can be understood and applied quickly by them.

Subsequently, the staff brought the DVD player to the scene, and it began to be very down-to-earth, allowing the curious audience and media reporters to get closer to experience the shocking effect brought by the DVD player.

The matching display screen is a 65-inch, 1080P plasma large screen produced by Konka. Although, Konka plans to transform the TFT-LCD technology route in the future. However, the current LCD technology is not mature, even if TFT-LCD, the later generation, defeated the technical route of plasma screen. But the real winner is still at the beginning of the 21st century.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the cost of TFT-LCD screens has decreased, and in terms of resolution and other indicators, it has begun to surpass plasma screens.

Some of the disadvantages of the plasma screen are also gradually exposed, such as the high heat generated by the boot for a long time, and the continuous work will be unstable. In addition, the power consumption is greater than that of LCD screens, plasma screens are more bulky than LCD screens, and more importantly, the development of plasma screens = technology development has gradually stagnated!

Because of the stagnation of technology, and the cost can not be lowered, more power consumption, high heat generation, can not make smaller screens and other shortcomings, and finally in the 21st century, plasma fell out of favor in the field of displays and televisions.

However, in 93 years, if you want to make a 65-inch high-definition display, the cost is still acceptable to the market, then, plasma is a more mature solution. The resolution and cost of liquid crystal, as well as the yield rate of large-size screens, cannot be compared with plasma.

Therefore, the high-definition film and television resources of DVD also need to use a plasma large screen in order to better display it!

As a showcase, it was "Kung Fu Panda", which aired a few years ago. Felix Animation Company, a subsidiary of the New Entrepreneurship Department, is known for its high-quality animated films. Over the years, the cumulative global box office of "Kung Fu Panda" has gradually reached 630 million US dollars, which can be called a world-class animated film.

The quality of this animated film has always been highly acclaimed. Therefore, when demonstrating the high-definition technology, "Kung Fu Panda" was used, so that everyone present could experience the shocking experience of DVD HD up close!

In the early days of DVD's release, the sound effect was quickly recognized by the market, and the sound was considered to be more three-dimensional, and even the home audio supporting the DVD was once very popular. However, in the early days of DVD's release, the clarity of the video was not recognized by many users...... Because,Many users still use a very low resolution CRT TV to play DVD discs,Even if the definition is 1080P,But the resolution of the TV is extremely low,Naturally, it is impossible to show better results。

In addition, in the early days of DVD's release, most of the discs were just VCD transcoded to DVD, which naturally did not provide a better viewing experience. However, the effect of a DVD disc that is truly made according to the standard is very shocking in this era!

The first time I saw the 1080P high-definition picture, the shock was even more than the 2K and 4K screens used later, and I could appreciate the visual shock brought by the resolution increase!

Subsequently, Jiang Wanmeng asked people to disassemble a Pangu computer again, and the CD drive was replaced with a DVD drive, saying: "In the networked environment, there is a default driver search in the Pangu system, if the DVD drive is not installed, search for the corresponding driver online, download and install the driver, and it will be used soon." The driver is not very large, only 1MB in size, OK, the driver is installed. This Pangu computer already has the ability to read DVD-ROM...... We can now read the program on DVD discs, and it is a new game that everyone loves.

That's right, it's a new game with a post-apocalyptic gunfight theme that combines elements of Resident Evil and CS. I am a very energetic person, and my colleagues in the game development department of the New Venture Electronics Group talked and laughed with me, so I was able to get this game "Biochemical Survival" that has not yet been released, and the game is mainly a different survivor camp, because of the lack of resources, I have to go out to collect survival resources. With limited resources, conflicts erupt when people from different survivor camps meet. At the same time, you'll not only have to face enemies against you, but also zombies and monsters. These things will kill you coldly! So, while fighting zombies, you have to be careful of humans! This game will come out in the future to fight against people on the Internet, and we can only fight human machines now! Of course, it's for you to see, this game is awesome...... After the whole game is installed, it will require 3.5GB of hard disk capacity, of course, if you play it alone, you can play it on a DVD disc. So, you know, how powerful DVD discs are now, right? 99% of computer users have less than a DVD disc on their hard drives!"

While introducing, while playing games, but I have to say that Jiang Wanmeng's game level is fundamentally dish, so that the audience present feels that the dish is okay, and some viewers who have played "Resident Evil" or, "CS", simply asked to change them.

Jiang Wanmeng readily agreed, and after that, although the press conference became a feast for gamers, it has to be said that the black technology of DVD has begun to be recognized by the users present.

In the era when the capacity of hard disks is insufficient, large-capacity cheap optical disc storage is very easy to be favored by users!

In the future, the hard disk is TB round, and many users have even canceled the optical drive when the hard disk capacity has been excessive. Because,The software doesn't need to be installed with a CD.,The computer with the system installed.,As long as it's networked,Then,All kinds of applications,Download it directly on the Internet.,Who will have a pain to buy a CD.。 Not to mention...... In later generations, the distribution channels of optical discs continued to shrink, and they may have traveled several streets to find that the stores that used to sell optical discs have long disappeared.

"The hardware of our DVD players and DVD-ROM drives is certainly not cheap, but a blank DVD disc that can burn data is priced at only $1! The cost performance is almost the same as that of a CD-ROM! And a 3.6G hard disk with the same capacity is now priced at no less than $300! Most users have not yet configured such a large-capacity hard disk! So, do you think DVDs are worth it?" Jiang Wanmeng took the opportunity to arouse the emotions of the media and the audience present.

"Value!" a large number of users said in unison.

"So, what do you think of the DVD-ROM drive, how much price are you willing to buy?" Jiang Wanmeng asked.

"$300!"

"No, it's acceptable to be more expensive than $300!"

"No matter how good it is, it can't exceed $1,000, and now a computer is only about $1,000!"

Soon after, Jiang Wanmeng announced the price: "$599! This is the price of a DVD-ROM drive that is on sale to the public! In addition, our DVD player is priced at $799!"

This price is naturally much more expensive than CD-ROM drives and VCD players, which have been popular for many years. You know, the cheapest CD-ROM nowadays can be purchased for less than $100. VCD players have also gone through a series of brutal price wars, with prices generally below $200.

If Xinfei Electronic Technology Company only makes a VCD with slightly stronger functions, most users will not recognize the current price!

However, DVD is an epoch-making product, with several times larger storage capacity, which can provide a more high-definition viewing experience. It is precisely for this reason that the new team of Xinfei Company is confident that the pricing will be several times higher than that of CD-ROM and VCD products!
