    The literal translation is laser disc. In Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, it is usually called laser disc.  Its principle is the same as that of a record player. It records 1 or 0 signals that can be recognized by computers by burning pits on a coated plastic disc.  After the ablation is completed, reflective material is applied to the surface of the turntable. When the laser diode is irradiated along the track, the non-ablated part reflects strongly and is counted as 1, while the pit part reflects weakly and the level signal is  Record as 0.  This is the same thing as the lowest level machine code.  However, due to the low level of integrated circuit technology, although the storage format is purely digital, it is very difficult to decode it digitally.  Therefore, the designer is ingenious and uses a digital/analog conversion circuit to restore the digital signal to an analog signal, which is played back just like a TV signal.  This is actually a laser video technology that uses digital recording and analog playback, which are two completely different technologies from the later digital video.  Precisely because it uses the same storage method, to record a one-and-a-half-hour movie, the diameter of the disc must reach 30 centimeters, and both sides must be used before it can be used.  Correspondingly, to drive such a huge laser disc, the mechanical part is also very large. In addition, the optical head needs to read from both sides, and the structure becomes extremely complicated.  As a result, the entire machine body is huge and heavy, and the price remains high.  A laser video record player costs seven to eight thousand US dollars, which is more than twice as expensive as the game console sold by Taiyu.  For such an expensive DVD player, even if the video reaches more than 720 and 500 lines, it is much higher than the video recorder of the TV station. In this era, it is unparalleled ultra-high-definition video, but even in Europe and the United States with higher incomes,  The general population cannot afford it, and sales are very small.  On the other hand, in East Asia, where incomes are slightly lower, due to the strong karaoke atmosphere, many bought them as karaoke players, and the sales volume was pretty good.  This DVD player produced in the base follows the pure digital decoding route.  From a technical perspective, a digital decoding chip that can achieve TV quality must have an integration level of at least one million levels.  It is precisely because this problem cannot be solved that digital-to-analog conversion is adopted and the clumsiest means are used to circumvent it.  :2p 00¡±>srp p=¡±/aasrp¡±>s_;/sr />Analog circuit as the final decoding method.  It is precisely because this technology is so useless that, through the intermediary of Motorola, Philips agreed to sell it to Taiyu Technology, allowing Taiyu to gain the qualification to enter the laser disc player market.  But who knew that Guan Fei, with the help of the biological accessory brain, decomposed a complete decoding circuit into eight parts.  As a result, we successfully designed a digital decoding circuit using three-micron line width process technology, and exclusively owned all the technology patents, allowing it to come out ten years ahead of schedule.  It¡¯s just that this is no longer a decoding chip, but should be called a decoding circuit board.  Without exposing the current highest level of chip manufacturing in the base area, using the same level of process technology as the 286, this decoding board can only reach the initial level.  Its decoding rate, at the TV station¡¯s picture quality level of 352240, can reach up to thirty frames per second required by the n standard.  At this bit rate, there will be occasional stuttering and mosaic during playback because there is no time to decode.  If you choose the pa format and a decoding rate of 24 frames per second, the stuttering and mosaic phenomena will be greatly reduced.  Tao Xuexiang¡¯s actual perception is similar to this.  As the disc for the DVD player demonstration, I specially selected a landscape film with a large amount of vegetation, rocks and soil to hide the graininess in the picture quality as much as possible so that the viewer will not be too sensitive to it.  But despite this, Tao Xuexiang can easily feel with the naked eye that the picture quality is at most as good as the TV broadcast effect, which is very different from the TV broadcast.  She was greatly disappointed.  Although she is not a successful businessman, she has been with her husband for a long time and has a certain business acumen.  From her point of view, this DVD player has no future.  Since the invention of the video recorder in the 1970s, this video recording and playback device has gradually become mainstream.  Now there are clearer ones coming out, occupying the high-end market.  The price of a video recorder is about three to four thousand US dollars, and the price of a single player that can only play but not record is less than two thousand US dollars.  And this video disc player is obviously the same. It can only play produced laser discs, cannot record other programs, and the picture quality is very average.  With high, high and low-end products already occupied, she really couldn't see the value of this video playback device.  "Comrade, may I ask what kind of DVD player this is? It looks very similar to a laser disc player. How much does it cost you?" She didn't give up immediately and leaned over again.Go ask.  "This is a video player, which means a video disc player. Although it does not have high definition, it is cheap. One unit only costs 2,100 yuan. It also has a wide range of discs, including movies, TV series, karaoke discs, etc.  There are all kinds of variety shows you want to watch." The salesperson just saw her standing next to the boss of the business group, and then saw her similar appearance to Pan Meifeng. If there was anything he didn't understand, in order to show off in front of his boss, he immediately  introduced enthusiastically.  Of course, it would be better if she was willing to buy one.  ¡°One unit costs two thousand yuan, and the commission on one unit is as much as that of several others.  "Two thousand one? How much is it in Hong Kong dollars?" Tao Xuexiang was a little unsure. She blinked and tried her best to calculate the exchange rate in her mind.  "Mom, if you convert it into Hong Kong dollars, it's six thousand nine hundred and sixty." Zhou Xiaoshan supported his wife and walked over slowly. He happened to hear the second half and quoted the price in Hong Kong dollars with a smile.  He has been in Hong Kong for almost two years, calculating foreign exchange prices every day. He is very familiar with the exchange rates between RMB and Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, Japanese yen, and British pounds, and can get results immediately in mental arithmetic.  "It's only 6,900, so cheap!" Tao Xuexiang was startled, covering her mouth and exclaimed.  As for the video recorder, it can only play a single player but cannot record, and it will cost close to two thousand US dollars, which is about 12,000 Hong Kong dollars.  If so, the price would be as high as 40,000 to 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.  What is this? It only costs 6,900!  It¡¯s four to five thousand cheaper than the cheapest single player!  "Wait a minute" "You just said, what DVDs do I want to watch? Do you have them here?" She lowered her voice and asked in a low voice like a thief.  "Yes, we have feature films, TV series, karaoke, everything. Even the latest TV variety shows, we sell them here. Just wait" The little girl turned around and ran into the mall without saying a word. Tao Xuexiang  I couldn't stop shouting.  "This girl, why are you doing things so fast and furious? I haven't even said I want to buy it yet." Tao Xuexiang couldn't laugh or cry. She pulled her daughter and asked in a low voice, "What the hell are you doing? Why do you have so many DVDs? Could it be" "  Yes, we are all pirates!" Pan Meifang admitted openly.  "Ah! How can this be done? If someone catches him, he will be prosecuted!" Tao Xuexiang was shocked.  Zhou Xiaoshan chuckled and said disapprovingly: "Mom, don't worry! Our own game consoles are pirated every day. We have all the witnesses and physical evidence, and we haven't won a few lawsuits. We steal a little bit from them."  What's the matter? They have the ability to catch us. Besides, although it's a pirated disc, we didn't do it ourselves. Even if we want to catch it, we can't be found." "What's going on?" Tao Xuexiang was still a little uneasy.  She grew up in Hong Kong and has always known that foreign governments mostly help their own businessmen.  Sony honestly sold a video recorder, but because it sold so well, it was sued by Hollywood, saying that after customers bought the video recorder, they copied the movies played by the TV station without authorization, infringing on their rights.  They even said that because video recorders can fast forward, viewers don't watch ads and advertisers are reluctant to advertise. This is all caused by the video recorders sold by Sony, and demanded Sony to compensate for huge losses.  Sony negotiated privately with the other party and planned to settle out of court, expressing its willingness to purchase the copyright for use in specialized video rental stores.  As a result, the film company opened its mouth and said that it is okay to make video tapes for rent, but all rental profits must belong to the film company.  Negotiations between the two parties collapsed, and they could only decide the outcome in court.  The lawsuit was fought from 1976 to this year, and it has been a full five years with no resolution in sight.  Sony has spent a lot of money and energy on this lawsuit, which has dragged them to the point of exhaustion, and VCR sales have plummeted.  This was a private act by the users who purchased it, and they were all sued in court. The base area was blatantly piracy, and the circumstances were even worse. If they were caught, the lawsuit could be said to win or lose.  If it affects the Taiyu Group, even OEMs like them will be affected, and business may suffer setbacks.  "Because we have handed over the piracy business to several associations in Hong Kong. And we did not come forward ourselves, but contacted other people and made several detours in the process. Even if the defendant is pirated, let the police catch him and seize the stolen goods.  ," Zhou Xiaoshan said with relief.  "But pirated discs can only be used in your DVD player" "Then it can only be said that our DVD player is good. If people are willing to make pirated discs, it doesn't matter to us!" Zhou Xiaoshan sneered.  As Guan Fei¡¯s little follower, his views on good and evil are completely learned from Guan Fei¡¯s.  If we are treated fairly, then we will do business well and we will go to all the docks that we should pay homage to.bye.  But if we treat people differently, then I'm sorry, you are not the only ones who will do evil things.  ¡°You even dare to behead and rebel, but are you still afraid of piracy?  It¡¯s not like Taiyu hasn¡¯t contacted him about copyright matters, but the film company just wants to drive the audience into the cinema and make all the money without giving any of it to others.  As soon as the two parties came into contact, the other party flatly rejected the suppressed copyright authorization and the possibility of selling genuine copies.  It¡¯s not like a video recorder. It also has a video recording function. What¡¯s the difference between it and a brick without a video source?  Business must be done, this is the first principle.  Since the right path cannot lead, then don¡¯t blame us for taking the sideways path.  The base area secretly passed through several members of the society who had previous contacts, and then quietly smuggled several sets of optical disc pressing equipment to underground societies in Hong Kong, Japan, and the United States, secretly pirated thousands of sets of pirated discs, and hoarded them.  Once it is available in the above places, they will start selling pirated discs quietly to various video rental stores or other channels.  Guan Fei knew very well that even though it was so expensive, until the production line was finally shut down, a total of 16.8 million units were sold in the past thirty years, with an average annual sales of more than 500,000 units.  Video recorders are even more popular, with average annual sales of millions of units.  We don¡¯t seek to seize all their markets. We are very satisfied if we can get one-tenth of the market share, sell hundreds of thousands of units every year, and create profits of more than one billion for the base area.  If you upgrade to this in the future, your meal tickets for the next twenty or thirty years will be guaranteed.  With such a big gold mine, he will fight against anyone who wants to stop him from making a fortune!  Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
