After Wind and Rain's product launch ended, Wind and Rain flew back to Shanghai. At this time, Jiang Wanmeng brought back a piece of good news.
When Feng Yu was developing HDVD players, he had mentioned to Jiang Wanmeng that he wants to develop an HD video camera. It must be small and portable, and most importantly, it must be clear. This will be aimed at the HD TV market.
Digital video cameras had been around for a long time, and Sony was the first company to develop it. It can be said that Sony has the ability to innovate electronic products, and it can be said in the entire world.
But Sony did not pay enough attention to this initially. This is a common problem among Japanese companies. They like to keep their best technologies in the research labs and introduce their inferior technologies to the market to maximize their profits.
When they discovered that their competitors had introduced products of similar standards, they would introduce the latest product and continue to guarantee high profits.
But there is a drawback to this. Sony's products are not the most advanced, and other companies will have the opportunity to challenge them.
Sony firmly believes that they have better technologies and felt that other companies will only humiliate themselves if they challenge them. Sony might even help them eliminate their outdated technologies. Sony can also use this to delay their competitors' development and make them waste their R&D funds. This will also help them maintain their image as the most advanced technologies.
Once Sony realized that the other party has the potential to catch up with their technologies, they will use another method. Alliance. For example, although Sony is competitors with Panasonic, Sharp, Canon, JVC, Pioneer, etc., they have also cooperated in many areas.
It can be said that these Japanese electronics companies have always maintained a relationship of competition and cooperation with each other. Occasionally, two or three companies will cooperate with each other and push out other companies. Sometimes, they will change partners and push out their former partners. It's a mess.
Feng Yu remembered in his previous life, Sony had cooperated with Sharp and a few other companies to set the HD video camera standards. This will limit the development of their competitors and let them make high profits.
HD video cameras are one aspect. Another aspect is that Feng Yu had mentioned to Jiang Wanmeng that future mobile phones must be able to take pictures. Digital cameras and video cameras must be combined together, and the functions of electronic products must be diversified. They must let the consumers buy one product to have the same functions as the previous products.
Everyone in the company was already familiar with Feng Yu's minimally invasive concept of combining two products.
Jiang Wanmeng had been personally leading people to promote the technology of this high-definition digital camera. Of course, Philips, Thomson, and other companies were also helping.
If Feng Yu wants to implement standards, he must have the support of more companies. If not, he must be like the VCD player, where the patents are in his hands.
Even for VCD, DVD, and HD DVD, they had to pull other companies into the alliance to quickly implement the standards.
Jiang Wanmeng suddenly told him that the HD digital video camera had been developed successfully, and it had also been approved by Philips, Thomson, and other companies. This meant that they should be able to work together to introduce a standard.
This will limit the development of other companies. If you don't follow our standards, then the HD digital cameras will be divided again, and your products will be incompatible.
Feng Yu is not afraid of being split into factions. He is worried that Sony and other companies will set this standard first, and more companies will implement it. Then, they will be in a passive position.
The more enterprises there were in the camp, the more advantages they would have.
… …
"General Manager Feng, this is the standard that we are implementing. There are two types. One is 1280 × 720P HD, and the other is 1920 × 1080P. We call these as Ultra HD. Of course, these two standards are also combined with HD TVs and HD monitors. "
"This standard uses progressive scanning. That means a picture will be scanned in one go. The advantage of this technology is that there will be no flickering and crawling. Actually, we had also developed another interlacing technology. But that technology is not as good as this. One picture needs to be scanned twice, and there will be flickering and crawling when the picture is still. "
"Of course, there is also a difference in frequency. The different frequencies are … …"
Feng Yu quickly waved his hand. "Alright. I also don't understand what you are talking about. As long as you think it's up to standard, I believe you. "
Feng Yu only knows about 720P and 1080P. As for the principles and the classification, he does not know.
"Then shall we hold a press conference to officially introduce this standard?" Jiang Wanmeng asked.
"What do Philips, Thomson, and the rest want?"
"They also think that it is in everyone's interest to introduce this standard as soon as possible. The Japanese companies are also developing this standard. If they are one step ahead of us, we will be in a disadvantageous position. But they felt that we should rope in more companies. It will be best if we can rope in some electronics and electronics companies. For example, China's TV manufacturers, Korea's Samsung Group, Taiwan's companies, etc. We will rope in these companies. Thomson will be in charge of the American companies, and Philips will be in charge of Europe. This will allow our team to grow and force the Japanese companies to follow our standards! "
Feng Yu nodded. "Ok. Contact our former HDVD Alliance members and ask them to join us to develop and implement this HDV standard. Also, when can this digital video camera technology be combined with mobile phones? Or combined with digital cameras? "
"Very soon. The new product will be introduced at the end of the year."
Feng Yu is still not satisfied. "We must do this as soon as possible. If we can think of combining mobile phones and digital cameras, they can also think of combining mobile phones and digital video cameras. Those digital camera and video camera manufacturers can also think of combining these two functions. "
Why can't digital cameras and digital video cameras be combined? Because digital video cameras still use cassette tapes, but it is not those old video cassette tapes. Instead, it is a small video cassette tapes that are smaller than Walkman cassette tapes.
As for the digital camera, it used flash memory cards for storage. The different storage methods determined that these two products could not be combined for the time being.
But what if these two products use flash memory cards, hard disk storage, or CD-ROM storage? It will be easy to combine the functions of these two products.
"General Manager Feng, don't worry. We will use the fastest speed to combine the functions of these two products. Our next product is the HD DV camcorder! "
