Chapter 891 Powerful Correction
"This is the automatic play function of our VCD player." The technician introduced, pressing the button on his hand at the same time: "The automatic play function will automatically search after the disc is inserted, and automatically play after the search is completed. This function is designed for convenience. Of course, we can also stop and continue playing manually, like now..."
Song Yuanchao nodded, and the technician pressed the play button, and the scene that had just been stopped continued to play.
As the opening credits appeared, Song Yuanchao discovered that this was a very familiar movie, it was "A Better Tomorrow" which was released a few years ago and became a huge hit, setting a box office record in Hong Kong.
This movie pioneered the trend of gangster films in Hong Kong, and made Fa Zai jump from a box office poison to the hottest star in Hong Kong.
Although this movie has been released for several years, it is still an excellent movie. As the movie played, Song Yuanchao watched it with great interest.
The picture quality of VCD is quite good. Compared with traditional video tapes, the picture clarity of VCD is much higher and the viewing effect is very good. Especially in today's occasion, in order to reflect the advantages of VCD, the equipment is also connected to an external speaker. Through the external audio connection of VCD, the sound echoes in the conference room, which has a cinema effect.
Song Yuanchao came here to see VCD products instead of watching movies, so the technicians kept demonstrating the operation and functions of the VCD machine while he was watching. After more than ten minutes, the technicians operated and introduced some functions one by one, and Song Yuanchao showed a satisfied expression on his face.
"Let's proceed to the next step." Song Chaoyuan said to the technicians.
The technician responded, pressed the stop button, ejected the disc, took out a microphone and plugged it directly into a jack on the VCD player, then put another disc in the disc bay. After the disc was inserted and checked and automatically played, pleasant music began to sound.
"Everyone, please look." The technician pointed at the TV screen and said, "In addition to the same functions as videotape playback, our VCD also supports the record playback function of ordinary CDs. In addition, through special VCD production, this machine can also be used as a karaoke machine..."
As he was speaking, the prelude of the music ended and the main song started. MTV was playing on the TV screen. In the lower middle of the MTV screen, a line of song subtitles appeared. In the front of the subtitles there were three jumping dots. As the music progressed, the three dots disappeared one after another. When the last dot disappeared, the technician picked up the microphone and started singing along with the music.
To be honest, the singing voices of the technicians who performed were pretty good. Although not as good as those of professional singers, they were considered very good among ordinary people.
The familiar singing voice echoed in the conference room, and his affectionate movements as he sang made you feel as if you were in a karaoke room.
After finishing a segment, the technician stopped singing and bowed to Song Yuanchao and the others. Song Yuanchao smiled and immediately applauded. Following Song Yuanchao's applause, Qin Zhengguo, Li Daqi and others also applauded and cheered with a smile, which made the young technician feel a little embarrassed.
"You sing well, young man. Are you interested in developing a career in the entertainment industry? If so, I know a boss in the entertainment industry and I can introduce him to you." Song Yuanchao asked jokingly.
"Thank you, Mr. Song, but I prefer my major. Singing is just a personal hobby." The young technician replied. This answer made Song Yuanchao laugh even more, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became much more relaxed.
"Does our VCD karaoke have echo, bass and treble adjustment functions?"
"Yes, I'll show you." said the technician, and then demonstrated the functions of the VCD to Song Yuanchao one by one. Although these functions were somewhat inferior to what Song Yuanchao had expected, Song Yuanchao felt relieved after thinking about it . After all, the development level of electronic products in later generations, especially digital products, is not what we can achieve today, and what is in front of them now is the world's first VCD player that has actually been put into production.
A new product that already has these functions is already very good for this product. Besides, the others present were already very shocked by the powerful functions displayed by the VCD player, and what was just demonstrated also made everyone extremely satisfied.
From these, it can be said that Shenghua's VCD player has been a success. It has fully met Song Yuanchao's requirements for product design and performance, and has demonstrated them perfectly.
Song Yuanchao believed that after VCD was put on the market, it would become popular in a short time and become a trend. The emergence of VCD also represented a technological innovation of an era, which meant that the old-fashioned videotape recorders would be eliminated.
Song Yuanchao was very satisfied with the performance of the VCD player. However, after thinking about it, he asked a question. When this question was asked, the technician was stunned.
"Why? Is this question difficult to answer?"
"That's not the case. It's just that we haven't done any tests in this area, so..." The technician now had some sweat on his forehead as he tried to explain.
Song Yuanchao waved his hand and said, "Since you haven't done the test before, aren't we testing it today? And this test is very simple, let's do it."
"Okay, okay." The technician nodded repeatedly, found a disc and held it in his hand, but for a moment he didn't know what to do with it.
Seeing him like this, Song Yuanchao immediately smiled and stretched out his hand to ask him for the disc. The technician quickly handed the disc to Song Yuanchao. After Song Yuanchao took it, he looked at the smooth front, then put it directly on the table and rubbed it hard on the hard wooden table a few times as if wiping the table with a rag.
Then, Song Yuanchao picked up the disc and turned it over to take a closer look. When he saw that the originally smooth surface of the disc had become a little rough, and there were obviously a few more scratches on it, he nodded with satisfaction.
Return the disc to the technician and instruct him to play it as he did in the previous test.
The technician took the disc, opened the engine compartment, put the disc in, closed the engine compartment, and then watched the machine's Qidong with an uneasy expression.
Just now, when performing, the disc was put into the engine very quickly, that is, it played automatically in just two or three seconds. But this time, when the engine was closed, the indicator light kept flashing, but the machine did not start playing automatically, and the TV screen did not respond at all.
Seeing this situation, the technician became a little nervous. His eyes were fixed on the machine and the sweat on his forehead became more dense.
After about half a minute, the indicator light suddenly stopped, and the cabin position prompt changed from the initial search to the English display of playback, and the disc playback time display was also displayed.
Seeing this, the technicians breathed a sigh of relief and secretly wiped their sweat. Then, the contents of the disc began to appear on the TV screen, and sounds came from the TV speakers and external speakers.
However, soon, the relief on the technician's face turned into stiffness again, because this time the playback was obviously not as smooth as the first time. Not only was the picture intermittent, but the sound was also the same. There was also a strong mosaic stagnation on the picture, and the sharp electric current sound from the speakers and external speakers covered the original music and sound.
After playing for a few minutes, the TV screen suddenly stopped with a crackling sound, just like an old ox that could no longer pull a cart, gasping for breath. Then the picture and sound became out of sync. The TV screen kept changing with mosaics and the sound was intermittent. Finally, everything stopped and did not move.
Seeing this scene, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but shook his head.
"Mr. Song, this..." The technician tried to explain to Song Yuanchao.
Song Yuanchao waved his hand before he could speak, saying, " Solve this problem as soon as possible. CDs are different from videotapes. It is inevitable that CDs will be rubbed and scratched during use, so we must work hard on error correction in playback of our products. Otherwise, it will directly affect the subsequent user experience of consumers."
The technician swallowed his saliva and nodded to show that he understood. He told Song Yuanchao that this problem was not unsolvable. It was nothing more than increasing the search capability of the machine's laser head, which was not a very difficult thing technically. If necessary, it could be enhanced in this regard, but there was a problem. If it was used at high power for a long time or error correction was frequent, the life of the product's laser head would be shortened, which was an unavoidable result.
Song Yuanchao told the technicians that there was no need to consider this issue for the time being. All he wanted was the result. There was no need to worry about the life of the laser head. The error correction and playback capability was the most important.
Although the technicians did not understand Song Yuanchao's decision, they still agreed. He said that this problem could be solved quickly and it could be completed if given some time.
"Let's do it tomorrow. By this time tomorrow, we'll come up with a product with strong error correction capabilities. Will there be any technical problems?" Song Chaoyuan asked.
Only one day was a bit tight, but the technicians thought about it and agreed immediately. The boss's decision could not be overturned, so they had to work overtime today to get it done.
Signaling the end of the product demonstration, the curtains of the conference room opened, and the sunlight from outside shone in again.
After the technicians moved the equipment away, Song Chaoyuan turned around and asked other questions to the people present.
These questions were basically prepared for product production and subsequent market promotion. When Song Yuanchao was not here, Qin Zhengguo and Li Daqi were mainly responsible for them respectively. They each reported the situation to Song Yuanchao. Song Yuanchao took a pen to write down the key points in his notebook, asked about the situation in several links, and nodded slightly to show his satisfaction.
