Extraordinary Genius
Chapter 609 Line Bid Competition
Windstorm Electronics first introduced the one-sided two-layer format and technical metrics, but compared to the two-sided two-layer technology introduced by the East company, there is a slightly large gap, which is that the two-sided two-layer storage is larger than the one-sided two-layer.
Similarly, single-sided double-layer burning techniques require less and are easier to replicate. Feng Yu and Philip both believe that the storage capacity of the CD-ROM is not that large for the time being, and that the single-sided double-layer structure is sufficient. Even with future enhancements in burning technology, single-sided, single-layer technology will be sufficient.
And most of the future ordinary movies, music, games and other CDs are truly single-sided single-layer structures, because even single-sided single-layer, future storage capacity can exceed 5 G, don't say a normal movie, even HD movies are fine!
You mean the movie collection? And that's a product that came after the millennium, when some movie IPs went on fire, and they started coming up with a series of sequels, and there was a lot of piracy, and most of the pirated products, they were made in Huaxia.
As for television drama, for the time being, it's useless. One of the main demands of DVDs is that it comes from a movie company, which distributes products that are easier to buy by consumers, products that are easier to store, and movie companies don't really own many TV drama copyrights.
And TV drama, more on TV, if the audience likes it, TV will play it again, the movie is basically not on TV, because copyright is too expensive, about the same as TV drama, but the time is too short, the TV station won't make it back.
The biggest TV station in the future to buy movie copyright is the Central Film Channel. At that time, a lot of people shot movies to sell copyrights, sell them to VCD companies, sell them to Central Film Channel TV stations to play copyrights, because they took them to the cinema, and not many people watched them.
So Feng Yu told Thomas that the double-sided double-layer structure is completely wasteful, the technical requirements are high, the cost is high, and it is difficult to implement. Even the single-sided double-layer is temporarily unnecessary. When studying the single-sided double-layer, everyone should continue to improve the burning technique and strive for the single-sided single-layer, which can meet the needs of film companies.
Of course, there's a lot of research to be done on the future Blu-ray HD movies, and if you burn them into a CD-ROM, the regular CD-ROM will never fit, because a HD Blu-ray movie can exceed 20G in size!
But now there's no HD TV. Who's that for? Whether it's a VCD or a DVD, you need to connect the TV now, the resolution of the TV is so high, you can't use the HD disc anymore, put it out or that!
Upon Thomas' return to the Netherlands, Philips immediately held a press conference announcing that it would follow the one-sided, two-tiered format and technical metrics launched by Windstorm Electronics to enter the VCD industry.
This news caused a tremendous shock in the consumer electronics industry.
When Windstorm Electronics launched this format and technology metric, they were laughing, a small electronic producer from Huaxia, who wanted to set industry standards? We are, of course, developing new standards to replace windstorm electronics.
That's what Dong Tzu did, and Sony announced his union with Dong Tzu.
But now a world-class corporation like Philip has announced its compliance with the industry standards for windstorm electronics. Isn't that disguised for the benefit of windstorm electronics?
Everyone knows who sets standards and who is the industry leader. Philip, admitting to being a leader in the multimedia CD-ROM industry?!
But they soon realized that it was Feng Yu Electronics that licensed the patent to Philip, and that having Philip push the standard would certainly make it faster and easier for other companies to recognize it.
For example, Philip's Polly Gold Records started working with Windstorm Electronics to sell music copyrights to Windstorm Electronics at low prices and produce audio discs of this specification.
There are also a number of companies that have worked with Philip, including film companies, record companies, etc., that have quickly announced that they will comply with industry standards for storm electronics.
Now Dongzi and Sony can't sit down, they unite to set standards, they firmly believe that their technology capacity is bigger, more advanced, and should be better suited to the market. So they also started contacting more video companies to promote their standards.
I thought he or she would unite, not to say completely defeat Rain Electronics, but suppressing them would always be fine. When industry standards are set again, their corresponding technologies will be more valuable, and the direction of research on windstorm electronics will be useless and a waste of money.
But they never thought Philip would bow his head and work with Windstorm Electronics!
The angriest part is East, they also looked for AIWA, they looked for Windstorm Electronics, they wanted to get patent authorization for VCD, but they were directly rejected at the time!
Many companies, including NEC, Fujitsu and Xiaoxia, have contacted, but without exception, have not received authorization!
The bigger the company, the less dare to steal the patent, because once caught, the cost of the patent will be amplified, the profits they make will be taken away, the equivalent of working for nothing and then losing brand credibility.
Why didn't Feng Yu authorize them at the time, patent authorization, make a lot of profit?
For two reasons, the first point is, Feng Yu is waiting for the successful research and development of MPEG-II technology, so as not to be led by other companies, and his patent license is worthless.
The second point is even more important, because those companies, they're all island countries!
Feng Yu just didn't want the island company to get the patent and earn the money.
And now, MPEG's generation of technologies, including VCD applications, Feng Yu has contacted other companies, such as Kang Wanbing, to begin large-scale patent licensing.
Technology has taken the lead, old technology, and it's time to create the final value, which many big companies have always used. It makes more money while avoiding technology being transcended by others.
Even many companies specialize in patenting technology and then don't produce products, making a lot of money from patent fees. For example, the future of Ericsson doesn't produce many phones, but the most patented mobile phone company is Ericsson, which relies on patent fees to make more profits each year than many mobile brand companies.
When Dongzhi and Sony started looking for companies to promote their technical standards, Pioneer announced that they were joining HP and would also introduce new standard specifications for recordable DVDs.
The two industry giants joined forces and found new directions in the cracks.
Aren't you competing for single-sided and double-sided burning standards? We can make money by researching and developing new writing standards, dyeing standards.
So now in the market, there are three types of DVD standards, and there are world-class companies that adhere to promotion, and no one can do anything about it.
Most ridiculously, there is no DVD player at all! It's hard to promote DVDs without stopping the battle for standards. The products produced by everyone are not compatible.
Feng Yu admitted that he was disgusted. In their way, they don't make money. Nobody makes money, right? Then you'll see who can laugh at the end!
