Chapter 1205 HD DVD
Seeing this digital camera today, Feng Yu suddenly thought that many of the digital cameras in his previous life had become digital video cameras, that is, they could take both photos and video clips. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now, there are digital video cameras, and even as early as 98 years, the first real digital video camera was launched, but the storage device at that time was still a 3.5-inch floppy disk.
In other words, the digital camcorder can only shoot short films, and if it is longer, the capacity will not be enough. Later, there were VCD discs as storage devices for digital camcorders, 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 will be used as a storage device, or a hard disk will be used as a storage device, and this kind of DVD will soon be eliminated.
In the previous life, it seems that companies such as Shuni and Dongzhi later joined forces to formulate the DV standard and the HDV standard, that is, the high-definition digital video standard, and then they made a lot of money just by relying on patent licensing, technology licensing, etc.
At that time, all kinds of domestic DVDs flooded the country, and the prices were not too expensive, and the technology used was the technology of the company. In this way, the pace of technology research and development of domestic manufacturers has been blocked, so that they can only continue to buy new technologies from companies such as Soni, so that companies such as Soni monopolize upstream resources.
Feng Yu pinched his chin, now there is only the DV standard, so do you want to get the HDV standard first?
In other words, it can prevent the development of island enterprises for a long time, right? Taking a step back, it can also make them start to fight against themselves, so as to abandon their monopoly position.
This has to be discussed with Philips, Jiang Wanmeng, Xu Lihua, etc., even if the investment is very high, it must be done, and this future profit is not a small amount.
Besides, this technology can be applied to mobile phones, and mainstream mobile phones in the future can shoot videos. If Fengyu Mobile is the first to launch a mobile phone to shoot videos, then the phrase that Fengyu Mobile Phone leads the trend will never be shaken again!
However, the top priority at the moment is to upgrade the DVD format.
Fengyu Electronics dominates the DVD forum and develops HDDVD, which is a high-definition DVD format. Of course, this is also a product that came with the advent of high-definition televisions.
At the beginning, the TV set was not so clear, and no matter how high-definition the DVD you developed, it was useless, and it was still the same effect when you put it out.
But now that TVs have high-definition, the gap between high-definition DVDs and ordinary DVDs can be seen with the naked eye. If possible, who doesn't like to watch a movie more clearly?
As for you saying that HD DVD discs will be more expensive? That's not a problem at all, people who buy HDTVs are not bad for money!
And Feng Yu also learned that the DVD alliance joined by Yu Ni and others also began to lead the development of Blu-ray DVDs, which are also high-definition DVDs, but the standards of the two sides are different again.
The island companies that were originally in the DVD forum, such as Songxia, JVC, Hitachi, Sitsubishi and other island companies, withdrew from the DVD forum and invested in the DVD alliance because they had a dislike with Fengyu Electronics in other aspects.
They believe that the unfair treatment they received in the DVD forum is mainly due to the fact that after the expiration of the approval representative seat in Songxia, other companies in the island country did not have a round of approval representatives, but those small companies in Huaxia were successfully elected, and the shady scene was too serious!
And they have completely forgotten that the technology they acquired in the DVD forum turned around and hooked up with companies such as Soni to help the DVD alliance in exchange for other benefits.
Otherwise, with the stronger strength of the DVD Forum, whether in terms of technology, funds or the number of members, it is far ahead, and the DVD Alliance should have conceded defeat a long time ago.
This time, the Blu-ray DVD Alliance wants to lead the formulation and promotion of the Blu-ray DVD standard format, and Songxia and other companies did not hesitate to join it.
This kind of stabbing in the back, Feng Yu had long expected it. Fortunately, on the HDDVD forum, the major companies are still there, such as Philips, Thomson, Tata, Four Star, Mingji and other companies.
In this way, in addition to some second- and third-tier consumer electronics companies in island countries and Europe and the United States, other companies are still on the DVD forum.
However, island countries have always been among the best in the world in the field of consumer electronics, and their energy should not be underestimated.
Blu-ray DVD and HDDVD still have a lot in common, such as the use of the original 120 mm diameter disc as the storage medium, and both use 405 nm blue laser beam for reading and writing operations (DVD is 650 nm wavelength of red light read and write operations, CD is 780 nm wavelength), but just like the DVD Forum and the DVD Alliance standard dispute, we have developed different format standards.
Feng Yu They promoted HDDVD, this product has a great benefit, that is, its manufacturing process is the same as traditional DVD, that is, the manufacturer does not need to change the equipment, only need to debug it.
As for the capacity, the single-layer data of HDDVD is 15G, and the single-layer data of Blu-ray DVD promoted by Soni can reach 25G, it seems that Soni has a larger Blu-ray DVD storage and should be more popular.
It's a pity that they don't understand that this high-definition DVD is destined to be just a transitional product, because the development of flash memory applications at this time is getting faster and faster.
That's right, theoretically DVDs can burn sixteen layers, so the peak capacity of HDDVD promoted by Feng Yu and them is only 180G, while the peak capacity of Blu-ray DVD can reach 400G.
Not to mention that this is only a theoretical capacity, the current mainstream equipment, that is, can burn two layers, can burn three layers are relatively few. More than four floors, not at all!
Their Blu-ray DVD format is different from the traditional way of burning, and if they want to update the product line, it will naturally increase their manufacturing costs.
HDDVD, on the other hand, can win at a low price in the early stage. After all, at this time, a two-hour high-definition movie will not exceed 15G, even if it is the Titanic, double-layer data is enough, and the equipment does not need to be upgraded.
And they believe that their Blu-ray DVDs can also be used as commercial data storage devices, providing server data backup or something. Not to mention, most people use mobile hard disks for storage, and the most criticized thing about mobile hard disks is that they are fragile. But are Blu-ray DVD discs less fragile?
In the future, most of these commercial data storage devices will use flash memory!
After the development of this Blu-ray DVD, the capacity of flash memory should also exceed 128G, and when the time comes, there will be a more stable and compact flash drive, what do you say others will choose?
Feng Yu and they promoted this HDDVD, on the one hand, to make a profit, and on the other hand, to drag island companies into the technology competition of high-definition discs, so that they have no energy and focus on the development of flash memory technology.
After two years, it's time for them to regret it!
