Chapter 183 The Problem with the Optical Drive

On the other hand, with the sale of VCD, the research of VCD-up is also on the agenda. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network

Nowadays, VCDs need about 4 discs to play a movie, and some even need 6 cops, so it will be very troublesome to play.

A full video of VCD that requires two discs to complete. If a single disc is used, the disc surface required for VCD will increase by about 3o%.

But in that case, the board is just too big.

In particular, the four laser heads should be concentrated on one disk, which is indeed a bit technically difficult.

However, the research of Vcd-up is necessary because it can facilitate the experience of users.

For users, the simpler and easier to use the product, the better the user's experience. It was impossible for Catherine to ignore this.

So the opening of VCD-up is a must.

In this regard, Catherine is handed over to Apple. And she, then ran and Heidi. Rama met.

This legendary woman, known as the most beautiful woman in the world, is now 52 years old, although so, even now, she is still charming.

"Hello, Ms. Heidi."

This was the first time Catherine had seen this woman, and although she was very old, she seemed to be full of processing.

Her eyes were so deep that it was as if she were telling someone "I don't belong to anyone."

Heidi's life is a legend, when she entered Hollywood, she was very dissatisfied with the six-month practical contract, so she found MGM's boss Meyer. Eventually, she used her eloquence to convince Meyer to win herself a long-term contract of up to three years.

"Sit down, Kate, don't be so inhibited."

Heidi smiled softly at Catherine.

"Actually, I've heard of you a long time ago." Heidi has been on the National Council of Bright Families since she left MGM, probably for this reason.

"Honestly, you're such an amazing girl." Heidi looked at Catherine with a look that seemed slightly envious, which made her a little embarrassed.

"Actually, I didn't do anything." Catherine replied.

In fact, in Catherine's opinion, she is also very dissatisfied with the progress of her career, because her current career is really far from what she wants to see.

Compared with those who entered the world's top 500 in three years and became the protagonist of the world's richest YY novel in seven years, Catherine's company, since 196o, knows that it has been seven years now, but it can still only be regarded as a small influential company.

"When I was your age, I was still doing some ridiculous things, but now you have something that I didn't have back then."

18-year-old Heidi. Lamar...... She was filming the world's first full-featured film at the time. Videos with nude plots......

"I really envy you......" She didn't look like she was 5o years old at all, she still seemed to be full of energy.

Heidi. Rama had always wanted to be recognized in the academic world, but sadly, it wasn't until 1997. At that time, Heidi had only the last three years left.

"My patent was originally intended to be used in guided weapons, but why did you think that this thing could be used in wireless communications?"

"Human beings are creatures that run and move, and now the phone has become an essential object in our lives...... However, it is too counterintuitive for a landline phone to tie our movements. The phone should be worn with you and be able to take it out anytime, anywhere."

Catherine said.

"And your technology, ma'am, is the most important link in our wireless telephone network, as long as we have your technical support, I think, it doesn't take 2o years, we can develop a phone that everyone can take with you everywhere, we can be anywhere, and call anyone"

The more Catherine spoke, the more excited she became.

"Yes......" Heidi obviously didn't expect Catherine to have such a high opinion of her own skills.

-- Little did she know that her technology would make Qualcomm a "tax collector" for one-third of the world's people.

"It sounds like we're going to have a great future."

"That's right, So, Ms. Heidi, I wonder if you're interested in the real yàn room?"

"Real yàn room?"

"I would like to set up a real yàn room to specialize in wireless communication technology." Catherine explained.

"It's my pleasure...... But allow me to think about it. ”

Heidi laughed.

Indeed, this was the first time the two sides had met, although the two had already spoken to each other before.

Saying goodbye to Heidi, Catherine returned to the company, and then came to Vbsp; "Is there any movement from IBm?" Catherine asked.

Sanders replied, "It's okay for the time being, but Japanese manufacturers have TVs that not only have jacks for our chromatic terminals, but also with RgB jacks......"

"Leave the rat ends alone. Our most important purpose now is to promote Vbsp; Catherine said.

"By the way, Miss Catherine." Sanders seemed a little solemn.

"If we do sell Vcd-up next year, it could have a negative impact on our Vcd......"

Catherine shook her head.

"No, the new machine will be fully compatible with the old one, and the cost will be lower, we just need not to make the platter that big."

The new technology will need to use four laser heads to work, because the work between the laser heads cannot be affected, so Vcd-up has to put a lot of effort into this aspect, and in fact, this is also the most important technical difficulty to break through.

According to the technicians' estimates, if the latest technology is used, the VCD platter needs to increase by 2o%. This size is within Catherine's acceptable range.

"No, I mean, what should people who bought our old machines do?"

"It's very simple—change." Catherine said.

"Change?" Sanders had no idea that Catherine would come up with such an idea.

"Yes, you only need to subsidize a certain price, and you can change to a new Vcd-up, and that's it." Catherine's trick was learned from later generations.

"Actually, we don't need to make a lot of money. What we need is to tell our customers, and we are thinking from their point of view. What we protect is the rights and interests of consumers. In this way, users will not have a feeling of disgust after purchasing our products in the future. ”

After-sales must be done well, and word of mouth is needed no matter what.

For example, Catherine's first-generation Microsoft computer, although it was not sold too much and has been discontinued, the company still maintains the warranty on the first-generation Microsoft computer - this is the company's commitment, a lifetime warranty.

"I see."

After all, Sanders is still young, and not a business elite who has been fighting against the original historical Intel for 30 years, as he later did.

"In addition to Vcd-up, how is the research on counting discs?" Catherine asked again.

"The bit error rate is still too high, but it's not a problem to read the device to make zuò out......"

The improvement of the production process is the top priority for the further development of the optical drive.

"That's right...... If it is used to make a music CD...... What do you think? ”

Catherine asked suddenly.

Sanders, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment.

"In this regard...... I don't know, maybe I need to argue a little, but it seems to work. In fact, VCD does a great job of this. ”

The original CD appeared as a music storage medium, but Catherine suddenly thought of this at this time. It seems feasible to use music CDs, such as records or something.

That's right...... It seems that at this time, Michael. Jackson

I've seen the Vimbus research team.

The disc wheel console is expected to use a 16-bit CPU, as if it were sFc from the future. However, one of the differences between Catherine's disc wheel game console and sFc is that the disc wheel game console uses an optical drive.

Today's cassettes are too expensive, and the cost will drop significantly only after the 8o, but not everyone can afford to use them.

Relatively speaking, discs are much cheaper, and most importantly, the storage capacity of discs is large, which means that games can be more colorful.

With the CD-ROM in hand, Catherine's other plan can be undertaken, and that is to go digital.

With digitalization, the value of optical fiber can be realized.

One more thing Catherine has to do is make the disc wheel game console have the ability to play online.

Of course, this feature may be a chicken rib for now, but it can also be regarded as laying the foundation for the future, so that your researchers have enough technical accumulation.

After all, the size of today's media converters is too big.

If you can shrink it down to a card, or just let the computer process the optical signal, you can achieve your own purpose.

Catherine is expected to split the disc wheel console and the network card. After all, this feature is a bit of a frustration, and Catherine considered adding a slot to the disc wheel console for placing network cards, while this slot is usually closed.

In addition to these, Catherine's new game consoles also began to increase the demand for color. XBox can only display less than 100 colors.

However, the performance of nimbus should meet the standard of sFc in Catherine's plan, so the requirements for color are much higher.

It's just a pity that the current CG technology has not yet been shown, otherwise, it would be much more interesting.
