Chapter 1037 The Shock Brought by Lianchuang Technology: Up
readx;
As soon as he entered the second hall, David. Carl's eyes lit up!
What do I see? icq!
Although it is not a difficult thing for ICQ pure service companies to participate in the Consumer Electronics Show, for example, Microsoft is a software company, but in the last 10 years of CES, they have not fallen every year, but ICQ? David. Carl was really curious, what could ICQ show?
Jean David. Carl was a little surprised that there were a lot of people gathered around the ICQ booth, and the crowd of visitors gathered in several circles, and from time to time let out an exclamation, as if everyone had seen something remarkable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
What could it be? Curious Dave. Carl, walk briskly over to the ICQ booth.
See Davy in outfit. Carl, the reception staff in the special costume of the conspicuous ICQ walked over briskly with a warm smile on his face: "Hello sir, can I help you?" ”
"I'm a reporter for The New York Times," said David. Carl showed the other party his press card and asked curiously, "Miss, what are you all looking at?" ”
"Oh, you're looking at our new generation of ICQ, a new generation of ICQ with video and voice capabilities."
"Support video? You mean, when I talk to my friends, I can not only hear each other's voices, but also see places? "David. Carlton was surprised, but he immediately became excited, and as a media practitioner, he immediately realized what a great achievement this was: if ICQ really started to support voice and video capabilities, wouldn't that mean that even if he was traveling abroad, he could have video conference calls with companies, and the cost? Except for a little Internet fee, there are basically no other fees!
If we go a step further, can those war correspondents who go deep into the war-torn areas to conduct live broadcasts of wars in some war-torn areas with the help of this ICQ voice and video system?
David. Although Carl has never been a war correspondent, since he is a colleague, he also knows how troublesome it is for reporters to go to war zones to cover news, and how expensive the video transmission system is.
"Yes." The narrator's face was proud.
"Take me to see it."
ICQ has taken into account the reporter experience when setting up the exhibition, and has set up a special reporter experience area. Carl saw at a glance that there was a silver-white object the size of an egg on top of the computer monitor, could it be that it was ICQ's voice and video capture device?
"This is a camera jointly developed by ICQ and its partner Lianchuang Technology, with 110,000 pixels, which can transmit 320*240 pixel video signals at a speed of 24 frames per second," and at the same time, the microphone function is integrated, as long as the camera is also installed on the other party's computer, you can easily make voice and video calls with the other party......" The narrator said to David. Carl said, sitting down on the computer next to him: apparently this computer was used for demonstration.
Looking at the clear picture that appeared in his chat window, Rao had already prepared in his heart. Carl was still frightened and said in surprise: "It's amazing! The price of this camera should be expensive, right? ”
"It's not expensive, it's cheap, it's only $99."
$99? For $9, you can chat face-to-face with your friends and family on any computer, whether you're at the ends of the earth. Carl nodded: This price is really not expensive. However, as one of the reporters in the New York Times who knows the most about electronics and computer technology, he was immediately keenly aware of a question: "This camera was jointly developed by you and Lianchuang Technology?" Is that the Chinese company that is in a lawsuit with Visteon? ”
"That's right, it's them." The narrator smiled happily.
David. Carl was speechless for a moment: how can you see them anywhere? Thought about it, David. Karl asked again, "What about transmission?" How did you solve the problem of data transmission with such a large amount of traffic? Serial ports don't have such a large bandwidth. ”
"Of course the serial port is not good, only 5kb/s transmission speed can certainly not meet the requirements of video transmission, we use the USB interface."
It turned out to be a USB port, so it's no wonder, David. Carl nodded again and again, and asked a new question, which was almost difficult: "The latest computers may not have a USB interface, and those computers that don't have a USB interface can't use this function, right?" ”
"It's okay, we've developed a special riser card for the computer," the pretty narrator apparently had long anticipated David. Carl would ask this question and pick up a new piece of computer hardware from the table: "As long as this riser card is plugged into the PCI port of the computer motherboard, you can make the computer without a USB interface have up to 4 ports......
It is indeed very thoughtful, and it is worthy of ICQ to become the world's top IT company in just a few years!
But let Dave. Carl was a little curious, how deep is ICQ's cooperation with that Chinese company? The next thing he knew, ICQ's cooperation with Lianchuang Technology was deeper than he had imagined: at ICQ's booth, he saw not only the camera and USB adapter card that could be sold separately, but also a laptop with the "ICQ-TI" logo.
This silver-white laptop looks like a futuristic product out of a science fiction movie. Carl was amazed that this notebook has a camera and a microphone integrated into it, as long as you buy this notebook, you can use the camera and microphone integrated in the system to chat with family and hold meetings with the company...... This is truly an impressive feat!
But even more so that David. What Carr pondered was: Why wasn't something so creative invented by the Americans? What are the geniuses of Silicon Valley busy with every day? Busy eating?!
Thinking that Texas Instruments has been acquired by Lianchuang Technology, Davy. There were even more fragments in Carl's mind.
In Dave. In Carr's view, this kind of creative thing should be born in the United States and Silicon Valley, Chinese right? What can they do, just produce socks, shoes and shirts, or a little bit of porcelain? But now, the Chinese are using the camera and this laptop with an integrated camera to tell the world that the Chinese can have great ideas — which is certainly a good thing, but it makes David . Carl felt a little uncomfortable, and unconsciously became more and more picky in his heart: What can Lianchuang Technology bring?
With this purpose in mind, when passing through the independent booths of two sub-brands of Lianchuang Technology: TI and Beautifulsound, Davy. Carl's heart is a little picky, and even when he sees TI's laptop series and desktop series, and when he sees Beautifulsound's various audio-visual products, he still tells himself in his heart that it is nothing more than a better appearance, no different from those Japanese products. When Carl arrived at the booth of Lianchuang Technology, he was really scared: there were so many people! Many, many people!
The 3,000-square-foot booth was densely packed with people, and the beautiful service ladies couldn't even squeeze into the booth. Carl even wondered if the entire exhibition hall had come to Lianchuang Technology's booth.
How can there be so many people? David. A question rose in Karl's mind.
What is it that attracts them? Immediately following the first question, Davy. A second question crossed Carl's mind.
Americans are also well-informed, and ordinary things are impossible to attract such people's attention, but now, at least 1,000 people will surround the booth of Lianchuang Technology. Carl was immediately keenly aware that he was afraid that Lianchuang Technology had come up with something amazing this time!
What are the elements of media survival?
Undoubtedly, it's material!
It's a material that attracts readers!
Although David. Carl has some resentment towards the Chinese, but such good material is in front of his eyes, and he doesn't even have to think about it, and his instinct as a journalist has pushed him to do something.
However, he still stopped rushing into the crowd, and first began to observe the demeanor of the staff in the surrounding booths: if you want to know how a company's products are, the best way is to understand the performance of their competitors.
The results seen made David. Carl was a little frustrated, and the staff around several booths, although the professionalism was good, but David. Carl still noticed that they didn't pass by Lianchuang Technology's booth with envy and jealousy, and even some eagerness.
Craving? David. Carl was a little puzzled, and his heart became more and more itchy, and the exclamations from the booth of Lianchuang Technology from time to time made David. Carl's heart itched like a cat scratch: what exactly did the Chinese take out? How can even their competitors be like this?
Perhaps, they really came up with something amazing, right?
It's hopeless to get the staff to bring themselves in, and it seems like there's a separate media experience area like at the ICQ booth. David. Carl cursed why Lianchuang didn't rent a bigger booth and squeezed into the crowd with all his might. r1152
