Chapter 365: Layout

Professor Bai Siwen cooperates with the foundation, but this does not mean that he is completely subordinate to the foundation system, as a university professor, it is also an unshirkable responsibility to undertake the development of other national key scientific research projects, and now what he can do is to help the foundation complete the entire industrial layout as much as possible.

For example, why is it a 135-camera-level CMOS sensor this time, why not use the larger 120 camera sensor specifications, the effect of that guy is obviously better, anyway, the national project is not too sensitive to cost.

These problems are very simple to explain, mainly because the mainstream products used in the camera market are 135 cameras, and the digitization of cameras in the future is more likely to inherit the specifications of the products.

"According to our estimates, at least one or two more upgrades will be made to Kaiyang's semiconductor manufacturing process, and then it will be possible to produce optical sensors with good quality and more than 1 million pixels, and the cost will be controlled at an acceptable level. ”

After all, it is a 135 full-width optical sensor, no matter how the process cost of this thing is controlled, Wang Zhengguo will not think that it can be cheaper.

In the next 20 years, DSLR cameras are destined to be only high-end players, or units with commercial needs can afford to use, ordinary people forget it, after all, who can withstand the price of 100,000 yuan, but also after the 2000 technology explosion, DSLR gradually reduced in price, and became something that ordinary people can afford to use through gritted teeth.

I have probably visited everything that should be seen, what is the level of things, in fact, needless to say, Wang Zhengguo understands it very well.

"Continue to work hard, anyway, in the foreseeable ten years, the DSLR camera industry is still in the exploration period, for now, or bury your head in hard work, set standards, market products temporarily use the Tianshu series to maintain a sense of existence. ”

Change is never achieved overnight, the so-called qualitative change, that is also achieved on the basis of continuous accumulation of quantitative changes, and now it is obvious that it is still in a period of accumulation of quantity.

As for the issue of standard-setting, it is the opinion of the benevolent, and the wisdom of the wise.

After Shuhang Optics successfully won the ultrasonic motor technology, it can be said that the problems that can really plague the further development of autofocus technology in the camera industry of the Republic have actually been basically solved.

In 87, Touching Energy launched the world's first autofocus camera using an ultrasonic motor, which means that the era of ultrasonic motors has arrived.....

"The price of the 135 camera is expensive, but it is the biggest cake in the current market, Shuhang has the only autofocus motor technology in China, and has convened many domestic camera manufacturers to study the new generation of autofocus camera mount standards, if you have time, it is best for you to communicate with you about the problems related to the 135 full-frame CMOS sensor. ”

Finally, there is an opportunity to gather 70% of the domestic camera manufacturers under the coordination of the state, and this time to develop a new camera mount to meet the needs of autofocus technology, which actually means that the national camera industry will usher in a major reshuffle.

Camera manufacturers who have the strength to make major changes to the cameras and lenses in production, and even make new designs for the new bayonet standards, can certainly take the opportunity to complete the upgrading of products, while those small units that have no strength can only be gradually introduced to the market.

The big explosion of the camera industry in the 80s of the Republic is largely due to the fact that domestic manufacturers do not need to pay legal costs, and there is no false prosperity caused by brainless reverse of other cameras.

Since this time has been the formulation of a new 135 camera mount standard, Wang Zhengguo hopes that Professor Bai Siwen can take the opportunity to promote the concept of digital SLR camera, and directly let the new system reserve room for improvement of the digital back at this standard-setting conference.

In terms of the mileage of early DSLR cameras, it is actually very rare to directly design the body around the word "digital" from the beginning, but most of them are slightly improved based on the body of the film era, after all, the cost of the top 135 camera is still not cheap.

Now we are preparing to develop a new AF head and body for the Film 135 camera, and if this system is only used for about ten years and then has to be replaced, it is really not cost-effective, and from the perspective of manufacturers or consumers, everyone loses!

Rebuilding a complete camera system does not mean that it can be done in one or two years, including the body series and lens family, it will take at least five to ten years to build all of them.

"Isn't it too early to advertise the 135 full-frame CMOS sensor now?"

Professor Bai Siwen only develops CMOS sensors and does not have too much research on the camera industry, so he sees the details of the future industry.

"Isn't it early, yesterday there was news from Shuhang, manufacturers from all over the world who came to participate in the conference, everyone is very interested in the Tianshu 1 launched by Shuhang, and they are quite respectful of this kind of digital camera, including a local private company in Rongcheng, they are not only once inquiring about where the CMOS sensor of Tianshu 1 is provided. ”

Listening to this meaning, it seems that China is now quite interested in the research of digital cameras, and Professor Bai is becoming more and more confident in his research.

"According to what you mean, there are other camera manufacturers in China who are also interested in the dual-camera scheme, and even have a plan to launch the project?"

"That's right, that's probably it, in fact, there are still a lot of long-term people in China, with the launch of Tianshu 1, although this camera has not been recognized by the market, but it has set off a lot of waves in the entire industry, among which Phoenix Optics is the most concerned about the digitization of the camera, but it is the magic seagull, they really haven't seen any action in this regard. ”

To say that this is also a third-line engineering project of Phoenix Optics, this unit has been called the existence of two great birds by the Chinese people in the future, although it failed in the trend of camera digitization, but it was at least a long time ago, as early as 87 years to begin digital camera research, but also because the domestic supporting basic industries can not keep up, unable to master the core technology, the upper plane has been gloomy.

However, it is with the relevant technology accumulated since 87 years that Phoenix Optics can have the strength to OEM the production of various digital camera lenses, mobile phone lenses, and scanner lens products, which can barely keep the company alive.
