Rebirth of the Tech Madman

"You are just thinking about it from a conventional perspective, but I have a deeper worry." Yamauchi, who struggled for a while, finally shook his head, "Sharp did not launch a color TV, known as the second generation When the Xiaobawang game consoles are paired together, they can provide a better entertainment experience than other similar products. This is not a lie."

Having said that, Hiroshi Yamauchi called the secretary and gave instructions, and soon a Sharp color TV and the second-generation Xiaobawang game console were moved in.

"If it weren't for Yokoi Junpei's reminder, I wouldn't have realized that the new product of the second-generation Xiaobawang game console is likely to force changes in the TV industry." Yamauchi pointed to the second-generation Xiaobawang game console. Said the connection cable between and Sharp TV.

...

In front of the Sony headquarters, Akio Morita and Norio Oga, there is also a combination of Sharp TV and second-generation Cassidy game console, as well as a combination of Sharp TV and Epson video recorder.

"At the level of technical application, we seem to be a little behind." Akio Morita smiled wryly and put down the remote control in his hand.

As a terminal, the TV is also advancing with the continuous development of the entire TV program system, such as the conversion of program signal data from analog composite to analog component.

Black-and-white TV sets display pictures based on the gray scale of brightness. When it comes to color TV sets, a color coding method called yuv has been developed.

Among them, "y" represents brightness, and "u" and "v" are chromaticity density.

If you ignore the "u" and "v", the remaining "y" signal will be the same as the previous black and white TV signal, that is, the color TV is compatible with the black and white TV.

At present, how do you transmit your own program data to the TV, which is different from the video recorder of the TV station? It mainly relies on a device called rf modulator radio frequency modulator.

In short, let the TV pass a blank channel. Receive this type of signal like watching a normal TV station program.

This special channel is channel 3 or 4 in North America. The frequency is between 66 and 72mhz; the European area is channel 36; the Japanese area is the first or second channel, and the frequency is between 90 and 102mhz; the treasure island area is the 13th channel. The frequency is between 210 and 216mhz.

The rf modulator usually exists in the form of an external box, in order to prevent its radio waves from affecting the normal operation of the TV.

However, the rf modulator modulates the composite signal and then demodulates the composite signal. As a result, more noise is unavoidably introduced, which degrades the image quality.

In order to solve this problem, a direct cable connection av terminal is provided between the Epson video recorder II Cassidy game console and the Sharp TV. The program data signal of this kind of entertainment appliances is processed separately from the rf signal sent by the antenna or cable TV, which greatly changes the picture quality.

As for the rf modulator, you can go into history.

Of course, the av terminal is not the most perfect solution. Although it avoids the signal loss caused by the rf modulator, the analog composite signal currently used, which itself mixes the yuv signal together, has caused a loss in image quality.

The most effective solution is, of course, to carry out a technological change from analog composite analog components to digital composite digital components.

However, at the current industry level, av terminals are already the most suitable solution.

Norio Oga understands. Seeing all this, Akio Morita is worried about the current videotape format war between betamax and vhs, which will begin this year. The balance of victory has changed against Sony.

"The decisive factors affecting this format dispute are probably beyond the scope of technology and marketing. It is more like a battle for who can win the favor of entertainment content providers the most." Norio Oga said with a deep voice, "From The current relationship between CDs and record companies can also see such similarities. After agreeing to all requirements of Tang Huan, the vhs format began to change significantly in terms of competitiveness."

"Unexpectedly, Tang Huan's influence in Hollywood determines which of Betamax and VHS will win in the end." A trace of regret flashed across Morita Akio's face. He had known this and made concessions at the beginning. It was good to win Tang Huan over, but was exploited in the form of almost selling himself.

To know. Just this year, the home video recorder market began to explode. As the prices of video recorders and video tapes become more commonplace, this kind of appliances has become a standard configuration for middle-class families.

But in this boom, vhs is thriving, while betamax is somewhat stagnant.

The biggest reason is that Tang Huan, who was rejected by Sony, fully embraced the vhs format and carried out a series of dazzling and overwhelming technical upgrades. The av terminal is only the latest achievement.

"Although betamax has lost the initiative in the home video recorder market, it still maintains an advantage in the broadcast market. We can't lose ground anymore." Akio Morita thought for a while and finally ordered: "I need a copy of Tang Huan to promote A detailed summary report on the role played by vhs."

Seeing Norio Oga's face of doubt, Akio Morita explained, "Perhaps we can, like Tang Huan, control an influential Hollywood film company in the industry to promote Sony's consumer electronics business from a soft factor. "

At this time, the ministry reports, and the representative requested an appointment to meet.

Akio Morita was taken aback for a moment, "I remember, didn't they go to Panasonic and there?"

"These Americans are both arrogant and cunning. Maybe they come here to find any weight to help them negotiate ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Oga Norio guessed.

"Then arrange for them to come as soon as possible." Akio Morita nodded.

...

Of course, Tang Huan also noticed the major changes that are taking place in the home video recorder market, but he looked at it from a slightly special perspective.

In Tang Huan's view, the strong consumer demand for home video recorders is related to a factor that is not easy to declare, namely another av. After all, with a video recorder, this kind of content doesn't have to be limited to watching it in some small theaters.

After entering the 1980s, following the loose-regulated European and American countries, Japan also completely opened its doors in this field.

It is said that just last year, the first best-selling work appeared, and the sales of video tapes reached 130,000 boxes. As for the format, it is vhs.

It is not difficult to imagine the result of such an alternative weight on the scale of the videotape format war. To be continued.
