Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Generally speaking, the Olympic Games represents the world's highest level of competitive sports, except for certain highly professional sports, such as football and tennis. `

For fear of affecting their own interests, the supreme authority for commercialization of these sports and the International Olympic Committee often fought openly and secretly, and adopted various measures to restrict professional athletes from participating in the Olympics; For the sake of this, many restrictions have been imposed on the number and age of professional athletes participating in the Olympic Games.

This is the case for tennis, which has not been listed as an official event of the Olympic Games until now. In this Los Angeles Olympic Games, it is a performance event like baseball. And according to regulations, only athletes under the age of the year can participate.

In this way, it also has an advantage, that is, to give young athletes the opportunity to show themselves, this is the case of 15-year-old Steffi Graf.

Steffi Graf’s performance has always been remarkable since he switched to professional competitions at the end of the previous year. Last year he won his first professional championship at just 14 years old, breaking another The 14-year-old and 28-day record of a talented tennis girl, Tracy Austin, made the West German media excitedly shouting that she also has a talented tennis player like the United States.

Professional sports media optimistically predict that Steffi Graf and Tracy Austin are expected to become the successors of Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert together, the latter two Since 1976, they have jointly ruled the world's women's tennis arena.

Tracy Austin once defeated Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert respectively, and was ranked No. 1 in the world twice each year for a total of 21 weeks; Steffi · What Graf lacks is the Grand Slam champion and the record of defeating these two predecessors. But she is still young and has plenty of time to practice.

It's a pity that things are counterproductive, and the fate of a genius is always accompanied by various risks of premature death.

Tracy Austin has been plagued by back injuries since 1982, but did not improve in 1983, and her results continued to decline. All majors she participated in were eliminated in the quarterfinals; on the eve of her 21st birthday, she was even Squeezed out of the top ten in the world; after entering this year. It almost disappeared from the professional stage.

Although Steffi Graf’s world ranking has been rising rapidly, and this year has steadily squeezed into the top ten in the world, the lessons learned by Tracy Austin are there, plus Martina Neve Latilova has improved her skills after improving her training methods. Having swept out Steffi Graf, who had had poor luck with him several times, no one dared to be so sure of the bright future of this little genius. `

In fact, the reason why Steffi Graf repeatedly encountered masters such as Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert in the game has nothing to do with bad luck and bad signing. It is the inevitable result of her outstanding performance and repeated promotion.

Take the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, one of the tennis Grand Slam tournaments held from June 25th to July 8th this year. Steffi Graf in the fifth group, all the way through all the way to meet with the seeded player Joe Dory of the United Kingdom, and compete for the top eight places.

The two fought brilliantly in three sets, and finally Steffi Graf won with a score of 6:3, 3:6, 9:7 and broke into the quarterfinals.

Next, Steffi Graf met another seeded player, Hana Mandelikova of Czechoslovakia, who once ranked third in the world ranking, and fought again in three sets, 6:2, 3:6. , 6:4 score, dangerously enter the semi-finals, thus creating her best results in the Grand Slam.

but. Steffi Graf’s momentum stopped and was knocked out by “Ice Princess” Chris Evert two 6:3. The prize money stopped at the British pound; the latter lost to Martina Navratilova. , Got the pound prize for runner-up.

It can be said that no matter how polarized the evaluation of Steffi Graf, West Germans already love their genius girl very much.

Because Steffi Graf ran fast, precise and perfect on the tennis court, he was praised by Tang Huan as "Lingbo Weibu", and West German media took the opportunity to give the little girl "Lingbo". "Bo Fairy" is the nickname.

In this Olympic tennis match, Steffi Graf made it into the final on August 11 without any accident. The opponent is Sabrina Goles of Yugoslavia.

At this time, the Los Angeles Olympics is coming to an end. On the medal list, the United States is far ahead with multiple gold medals and multiple medals, which is more than the second place Romania, third place West Germany, fourth place China, and fifth place Italy combined. many. It can be described as domineering and infinite.

However, this also made McDonald's, which was promoted according to the number of medals, want to cry without tears. Out of thin air, there was a deficit of tens of millions of dollars, and it had to be used as a negative teaching material. After careful analysis, it was simply a loss of madam. .

The general situation of the medal table has been set. West German media gathered at the Los Angeles Tennis Center of the University of California, Los Angeles to watch this tennis final, which has no meaning to the medal table.

Because of Tang Huan's appearance, some American media have also chased him. `

The final was not evenly matched. The four-year-old Sabrina Golesh did not take advantage of any advantage, and was defeated by Steffi Graf 6:2, 6:4 in straight sets. .

It can be seen that Steffi Graf, who is on the rise, is a bit too aggressive, and is still not exhausted. The originally shy little Lori, after shaking hands with Sabrina Golesh, actually ran to the audience. Before the table, he threw the racket to Tang Huan sitting in the front row, and then hooked his fingers, which was full of provocation.

Such post-match tidbits stimulated the audience and various media in the stadium, screaming with excitement, encouraging Mr. Fu to end the game. But Tang Huan was very reserved, smiled and waved to the camera.

This episode will naturally be taken out by all media to entertain the whole people. It was originally the case. However, on the last day of the Olympics, CNN produced and broadcast an entertainment program "Tang’s Olympic Watching Tracks" ingeniously. In the past half month, what are the similarities and differences between Mr. Fu and ordinary people in the items they like to watch, and the ratings suddenly burst.

It is no exaggeration to say that ABC and Turner Broadcasting Corporation, which spent huge sums of money to bid for the American television broadcasting rights of the Los Angeles Olympics, have made a lot of money, and the ratings have been rising, which directly increased the value of advertising. Even soap operas have benefited a lot.

However, among the two broadcasters in charge of broadcasting, Turner Broadcasting Company has obviously benefited more, and the audience has received rave reviews. This is something that those unconvinced mobsters who got the right to broadcast TV had never expected. Originally, they were waiting to see a joke.

The root cause of the successful performance of CNN is that Barry Diller, who jumped from Paramount, made great contributions, but behind it. The digital video technology provided by Tang Huan is also indispensable.

The so-called digital video is naturally relative to the traditional analog video, which uses a digital method to record video data.

This technology started from the end of the decade to the beginning of the decade. Three companies introduced solutions for digital video production equipment. Then Bosch, ampex and ampex came up with solutions for video tape storage.

By 1982, the Radio Communications Department of the International Telecommunication Union published a standard called the standard to regulate the digitization of video signals.

Tang Huan has been actively promoting the application of microcomputers, extending from traditional numerical calculations and data processing to emerging fields such as electronic games, communications, and multimedia. The product solution of a technical master in digital video is called -1 system.

At this stage. The analog form of VHS home video recorder has just been popularized in the economic zone. It is a good time to harvest profits. Tang Huan will not have trouble with himself. He will start the digital video application including the prematurely in the mass consumer market. The strategy is from high to low, first aiming at the high-end applications of broadcast and television, and this is the case with the -1 system.

Compared with other pioneers in the industry who can only use their own products in certain specific business links, the -1 system can already be fully applied to the program production and broadcast processes of TV stations.

The reason why Tang Huan was able to occupy the industry's leading advantage once again was due to the combined effects of several aspects.

first. Tang Huan, who has accumulated enough capital, can easily divide the topics, allowing a large number of technical experts to conduct basic research in accordance with the directions and ideas given by him. And come up with the results quickly.

Take the compression and decompression of audio and video, which involves many mathematical problems. Tang Huan put some general topics in China University 6 to study, and he was embarrassed that the required labor costs were low.

However, in this way, concepts such as jpeg, mpeg, and so on. Both are very different from the original time and space.

Secondly, in the manufacturing field after research, the three semiconductor factories of fab1, fab2, and fab3 have fully matured the process level of the 1 micron process. Among the chips they produce, the highest operating frequency of the Motorola architecture can be reached; the architecture is designed by itself And series processors, the highest operating frequency can be reached; the highest operating frequency of some integrated circuits, even far beyond.

On this basis, the degree of digital video encoding and decoding has reached the standard suitable for practical applications.

Finally, no matter how research and manufacturing are done, it must be implemented in the application field. If no one buys it, then what is the point of hard work.

At this time, Tang Huan’s investment in films and television stations played a leading role. Media Asia TV and Cable News Network were the first users of the -1 system.

One of the video capture devices of this digital video application solution is the digital video camera-d-vhs camera, which can be roughly divided into low-end interlaced scanning and high-end progressive scanning.

Tang Huan entered the field of video tapes, one of the main goals is to get a set of technical systems in this mature field as soon as possible. The proud Sony rejected him, and jvs became a partner.

On the basis of the original videotape format vhs, Tang Huanxun launched an enhanced version of the format s-vhs, and developed a smaller size pocket videotape vhs-bsp for shoulder-mounted cameras other than home video recorders; more importantly, Tang Huan The d-vhs format for digital storage on video tapes was also introduced, which brought great convenience to computer processing.

JVS and Panasonic are embracing their thighs walking in the right direction. They don’t know how much effort has been saved, so they have changed from the boss of vhs to the most active shop second.

The d-vhs camera will perform lightweight fast and lossless compression on the collected digital video, and record it on the d-vhs format video tape, and then the TV station can broadcast it directly, or perform various processing through the -1 system.

A major technical feature of digital video is that users can process the video stream and audio stream separately, such as adding metadata such as date and copyright, or inserting flexible subtitles.

With this function, CNN will provide the audience with the most comprehensive and intuitive introduction information about the participating athletes in real time during the broadcast of the Olympic Games, so that the audience can see clearly and clearly when they enjoy the game.

In addition, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this flexible way of placing subtitles has also brought great convenience to advertising. CNN’s commercial advertising revenue during the Olympic Games has been off the ABC.

This is not all the benefits of the -1 system. The real power lies in the post-production stage of TV programs. Compared with traditional linear editing, more powerful non-linear editing can be used.

Linear editing requires several video recorders, video special effects machines, mixers, control panels, signal generators and other equipment to cooperate in order to edit the content of the master tape to the finished tape in chronological order.

This editing method is time-consuming and laborious. One of the reasons behind the TV station directors and other people staying up late to work overtime is the cumbersome work.

The Los Angeles Olympics has 23 major events and 221 minor events. The host US team has won so many medals. The presentation of each wonderful moment is a severe workload test for all TV organizations that broadcast.

The cable news network, which has adopted the -1 system, is undoubtedly far ahead in the appeal of this program that attracts the most viewers. (To be continued.)
