China al ataque EVD vs DVD ? - Eduardo-AAVM - 11-16-2003 Ahora China quiere imponer estándares... Enhanced Video DIsc::::::::::::::::::::::::::> The latest sleek silver box built by Chineseelectronics maker Yuxing Infotech looks little different from countless other video disc players stacked under television sets around the world. This one, however, is special - it plays Enhanced Versatile Discs, or EVDs, a homegrown Chinese standard that will be launched next week and which its corporate backers hope will soon be challenging the DVD for the loyalties of couch potatoes everywhere. "We can offer a much better audio and visual experience than DVD," says Hao Chieh, president of Beijing E-world Technology, the venture set up by a consortium of Chinese DVD player producers to develop the new standard. The idea of China as the source of a new electronics format may surprise consumers used to the dominance of US, European and Japanese companies but the EVD push is part of a broad effort by China to play a greater role in shaping global standards. PC and consumer electronics companies have teamed up to develop a standard for communication between devices such as computers and mobile phones, while local telecommunications manufacturers are trying to develop a homegrown "third generation" telecoms standard. The effort is given weight by the rapid growth of China's domestic market and its emergence as a global manufacturing workshop. Such strengths are apparent in the drive to promote EVDs, which were developed with the enthusiastic support of the Beijing government and are soon to be approved as a national technical standard. Beijing E-world, whose chairman is a member of the Chinese Communist party's Central Committee, says its shareholders account for 70-80 per cent of the output of digital video disc players in China and 30 per cent worldwide. E-world says its new standard allows much higher definition video and better sound to be stored on discs that are physically the same as DVDs. Mr Hao says that the core technology designed for EVDs is better suited to network applications, a key strength given the convergence of video and computer products. They also offer functions such as subtitles that change colour to stand out from their background and - no small benefit in China - space for more karaoke tunes. Of course, the Chinese are not alone in looking beyond the current DVD format and they can still appear puny matched against rivals such as Sony, Samsung or Philips. But with rival standards some way from the mass market, Mr Hao thinks EVDs can succeed with the help of a carefully plotted "road map" for the introduction of steadily improved versions. Crucially, all EVD players will also be able to play DVDs and will cost less than Rmb2,000 ($242). More than 1,000 films are already available in the new format. Marketing will seek to leverage demand for high-definition televisions. HDTV set sales are growing fast but buyers currently find themselves with little high-definition content to watch. Yuxing alone expects to sell 200,000 EVD players in the next year, with Mr Hao estimating total sales will climb from 1m in 2004 to 12m in 2006. EVD's backers hope overseas demand will force international rivals to adopt the standard, giving local companies new leverage in negotiations over foreign-held technology licences. Beijing E-world corporate investors will use the EVD standard for free, with other Chinese companies expected to pay $1-$2 per player and foreign manufacturers around $4-$5. But detailed rates will vary by company. "To those that are fierce to us on royalties . . . wewill be the same," says Mr Hao. "If you give me a preferential deal, I'll do the same for you. But if you try to choke me to death then I won't show you any mercy either." Success is far from guaranteed. A Hong Kong-based sector analyst scoffs at the idea that Chinese companies will sustain the R&D effort and co-operation needed. But Zhu Jiang, vice-president of Yuxing, argues that even if overseas markets prove difficult, EVD sales in China would provide an important boost for manufacturers that have seen margins on DVD players tumble. - Edmundo - 11-16-2003 Poco a poco los chinos han aprendido a desarrollar el mercado electronico y tambien lo estan empezando a hacer con el sector automotriz. El articulo habla de que ya hay mas de 1000 titulos disponibles, y seguramente el costo de este reproductor los pondra en el mercado americano si es capaz de reproducir con calidad. Al americano le encanta andar experimentando con cualquier marca, si es que esta es capaz de reproducir una imagen con mayor calidad que su experimento anterior. En un foro americano <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.avsforum.com">http://www.avsforum.com</a><!-- w --> hay un monton de temas sobre reproductores "patito" que son capaces de reproducir las peliculas con excelente calidad. De hecho, hay varios temas en donde se rompen las medias abiertamente, porque conectan reproductores de 180 dolares a proyectores de 15,000 y dicen que los resultados son fantasticos. - Eduardo-AAVM - 11-17-2003 Hola muy interesante Edmundo lo revisaré a ver que tal nos va... - Edmundo - 11-17-2003 En especifico, necesitas buscar los temas referentes al Bravo D1 y el Momitsu, ambos tienen salida DVI. Ultimamente han estado hablando de el Liteon 2001, y acaba de salir el 2002. - Homero - 11-19-2003 Pero que ventajas tiene este nuevo formato? obviamente en comparacion del DVD. En Asia ha desaparecido el VHS dejandole su lugar al VCD, sin embargo este nuevo formato desarrollado por los Chinos parece que quiere atacar el mismo mercado, que por cuestiones de comercio informal o ilegal, casi estoy seguro que va a llegar a nuestro país fomentando la piratería de sus productos, aun así no me queda claro como pudiera competir contra DVD. - ediaz - 11-19-2003 Se supone que el formato es una mejora sobre el DVD, aunque no dice en esa nota la resolución que puede alcanzar. En cuanto a los reproductores que pone Edmundo, éstos son reproductores de DVD con la característica de hacer la conversión internamente a HDTV y sacarlo por DVI (aunque en el caso del Momitsu también lo puede sacar por video componente). En cuanto a los Lite-on, su característica más importante es su capacidad para reproducir DivX y XviD. - Eduardo-AAVM - 11-20-2003 Edmundo escribió:En especifico, necesitas buscar los temas referentes al Bravo D1 y el Momitsu, ambos tienen salida DVI.

Fíjate para mi LiteOn no es del todo desconocida se que ha ganado premios en drivers de PC en Asia, hace años tenia una division de computo y así me enteraba. Saludos. - Alexis - 11-25-2003 Hola compañeros, aqui les dejo un poco mas de información acerca de este tema :wink: Cita:CHINA ENTURBIA EL CUADRO PARA EL FORMATO DE ALTA DEFINICION - Homero - 11-25-2003 Pues si que los chinos estan gruesos con esto y no dudo ni tantito que se expandan en el mundo con este nuevo formato y si no al tiempo. - Edmundo - 11-25-2003 Bienvenido al foro Alexis, que bueno que te animaste. En cuanto a los chinos, nos estan metiendo una recia, no solo en electronica, sino en toda la industria. Hay mucha inversion que ya no llega a america y se esta llendo a China. Hay que ponernos mas abusados hock: |
