Chapter 618 Super VCD

"President Feng, good news, great news!"

Feng Yu put the phone away from his ear, good news is good news, what are you shouting.

"What's the matter, Old Jiang, what good news makes you so excited?" Feng Yu asked. At the same time, I have some expectations in my heart. Could it be that there is finally a breakthrough in product technology?

"The MPEG-II technology we studied has succeeded!" Jiang Wanmeng shouted excitedly.

"What did you say?" Feng Yu was a little dazed.

"According to your request, we have passed this encoding technology, the sound can reach four-channel stereo, more clear and real, and the image can reach 350 lines, which is the highest resolution of the world's TV. Most importantly, the basic There will be no more mosaics!"

Mosaic is the deterioration of the color scale details in a specific area of ​​the image, and causes the color blocks to be disrupted. It looks like small grids one by one, which is somewhat similar to mosaic tiles, hence the name.

Mosaic is an important problem that restricts the development of VCD. VCD is clearer than ordinary video tapes, but the disc is too easy to damage. If there is little friction, it is prone to jamming and mosaic, which makes the user experience very poor.

Especially domestic audio-visual agencies, video halls, etc. have responded that ordinary VCD discs are prone to mosaics after being played several times. The higher the frequency of playback, the more frequently mosaics appear.

Although Fengyu Electronics has launched a disc repair solution, which is a water-soluble cleaning agent, it can remove stains on the surface of the disc, so that the player will not be affected when reading. Later, a cleaning agent with alkaline solvent and car wax was introduced, which is to polish the disc.

Polishing can make discs with deep scratches readable by the player, but polished discs are more likely to be damaged, which is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution.

If the mosaic cannot be eliminated, the frequency of the mosaic should be reduced as much as possible, so Feng Yu remembered the super VCD in his previous life, a substitute between VCD and DVD, and it was the appearance of this that made VCD popular in families rate increased further. Really knocked VCRs out of the market.

Because of the MPEG-1 technology used in the earliest VCD, not to mention the low definition, there is not even a channel selection. The second-generation technology has four channels. It allows a variety of options for the sound of movies, and officially launched bilingual discs in Cantonese and Chinese, expanding the applicable market for discs.

But also let the VCD have a real accompaniment function, increasing the usability of the VCD machine.

And this super VCD,

It also really suppressed the LD big disc. Not only eliminated VCRs, but also seriously threatened the status of LD large video discs, leading to further decline in the LD large video disc market.

Feng Yu has been asking Fengyu Electronics and AIWA to jointly research this technology, but he never expected that this technology will be successfully researched so quickly.

Feng Yu remembers that in his previous life, this technology was successfully researched by Sony, and then he made a technology exchange with Philips, and finally formulated the original standard.

And the player originally produced according to this standard is not called super VCD. It's called DVD. In other words, Super VCD and DVD discs actually use a standard. It's just that the storage capacity of DVD exceeds that of Super VCD.

In the previous life, did many people find out that some discs cannot be played by your VCD, but other people’s can. That's because someone else's is a super VCD, which can read DVD discs.

And this technology has another great advantage, that is, the storage capacity has been increased several times, that is to say, on one optical disc. Just can store a very clear movie, needn't be divided into two discs of upper and lower episodes, avoid watching half of the movie, and suddenly end. Need to change the trouble of disc.

It also allows two discs to store a concert, or more than 20 song MVs can be stored in one disc, so that consumers can get more benefits, so they are more willing to buy song discs.

Before he knew it, Feng Yu found out that he was facing off with Sony again. First let AIWA beat Sony's Walkman. The Walkman business, which had brought high profits to Sony, has been severely shrunk. Then let AIWA launch CD players, and further seize Sony's market in the field of music players.

It also contributed to the break between Nintendo and Sony, causing Sony's game business to shrink severely. In order to restore the business, they had to spend huge sums of money to set up a computer entertainment department to develop CD-ROM game consoles to compete with the game market dominated by Nintendo.

If Feng Yu's memory is correct, at the end of this year, Sony will launch the first-generation Playstation, which is also the famous PS game console. This is one of the most successful electronic products in the world after the Walkman, setting a super sales record of more than 100 million units sold worldwide!

Later, whether it was PSP, PS2, PS3, PS4, all of them were sought after by people, and the sales volume of each product was very gratifying.

This year is also a year of high technology production for Sony Corporation. In the previous life, Sony was very prosperous, but in this life, Sony is doomed to another tragedy. DVD technology no longer belongs to Sony.

Feng Yu asked Jiang Wanmeng and the others to contact Fu Guangzheng immediately to apply for a technology patent around the world, and then publish the specifications first and designate it as an industry standard!

Someone once said that first-class companies sell standards, second-class companies sell brands, third-class companies sell products, and fourth-class companies sell resources. It can be seen that the formulation of industry standards is the most important symbol of an enterprise's status.

Patented technology can only play a protective role, but it cannot prevent the other party from breaking through the technology. And Sony and other big companies can completely crack the technology of Fengyu Electronics and conduct further research.

In the previous life, this industry standard also competed for many years. Everyone has similar effects but different technologies, and they all want to set it as the industry standard, including Dongzhi, Hewlett-Packard, Pioneer and many other world-class electronics giants.

In the end, everyone found that it was meaningless to fight back and forth, and none of us could defeat the other without loss. Once the two strong competitions came to the end, others might take advantage of them, so we shook hands and reconciled.

But looking back, everyone started to compete on the DVD recorder, and then there was a scene where there were multiple specifications for DVD recorder technology.

But in this life, those electronic giants are all behind. Who made VCD be the first to be launched by Fengyu Electronics? They have inherent advantages in technology research and development. And those giants are relatively scattered. For example, Sony is researching PS, Dongzhi and other companies are researching digital cameras, and some companies are researching computers. They can't concentrate on one research.

But Fengyu Electronics is different. Feng Yu doesn't intend to let Fengyu Electronics get involved in the computer business. He has shares in Lianxiang. As for digital cameras, it will be a very big market in the future, but right now, the resolution is simply not comparable to that of film cameras. It will not be truly accepted by the market until the pixels exceed one million.

And at that time, it was already the end of this century, when Fengfeng Electronics exchanged technology with others, it could also get the technology it wanted.

Half a month later, Fengyu Electronics held a press conference in Beijing, announced the technology and indicators of high-density multimedia CD format, and stated that Fengyu Electronics has developed MPEG-II technology, and it is expected that by the end of this year, it will launch a new generation of super VCD!
