Chapter 135: Journey Around the Pacific

  After listening to Peter Drucker's analysis, Catherine can be said to have admired him extremely.

  Soon after, Catherine conducted a training session for her main management personnel below.

  Ralph Roberts, Olsen, Sanders and even Bruce were also pulled in by Catherine.

  Then, sitting together, listening to Peter Drucker's meticulous analysis of the company.

  At this time, Catherine's gaze fell on the monitor again, and in this regard, Catherine didn't fall behind.

  Trillion displays have emerged, and Triple-Gun technology is being developed. However, Catherine still has some dissatisfaction.

  Especially for the current display style.

  Catherine initially considered a 16:9 widescreen design, which would also provide the best visual experience.

  But for now, this is not realistic.

  The inside of a CRT display is a vacuum, and the outer casing (not the bezel) has to withstand a relatively large pressure. The pressure on the casing of a 29-inch CRT exceeds 3 tons! Therefore, the most ideal shape for a CRT is spherical, so that the pressure on the casing is more evenly distributed. Early CRTs were all round in shape, and this is why. Later, with advances in materials and technology, CRTs gradually became square, and later became 4:3 rectangles. Wide-screen CRT display tubes are subject to uneven stress, making them more difficult to manufacture, which naturally increases their cost.

  Cheap is the best way.

  It's okay to fool around with the Pentagon and develop new tricks, but from another perspective, affordable prices and excellent performance are what we're after.

  This is also why Katherine only showed the future of the floppy disk to the Pentagon, and not IBM - who needs TB-level storage now?

  At that time, even if our own laser disc was developed, it would be replaced by the later CD.

  LD and CD are cheaper, the cost of reading devices is lower, and LaserDisc has no market at all.

  So the concept of 16:9 can't be assembled at all now. And Catherine can only adopt square standards for monitors for the time being.

  But Catherine always felt that if the Trinitron display was applied to today's computers, it would be a waste. After all, today's computers can't handle complex image data... or maybe they can.

  "Digitization."

  Catherine wrote this word on her notebook again.

  Current video storage is all analog and simulative, which is a completely different concept from digitalization.

  For example, simulated storage videos are not mosaic, and even DVDs sometimes have mosaics in the video, of course, this is related to the transcoding rate.

  Digital storage, mainly due to the characteristics of accurate recording, anti-interference and large-capacity storage readability - this is very suitable for computer use, most importantly, it will not cause data changes due to changes in the storage medium.

  Bill Gates once said that if there was no multimedia, 640 KB of memory would be enough for a personal computer.

  It is precisely because of the advent of multimedia that personal computers have become completely different.

  Of course, digitization also has high requirements for machine performance. Now the Z80 is completely "not powerful enough", and Catherine can only record things now.

  Having a personal computer play videos is now obviously out of the question. So, laser disc and VCD players are what Catherine is considering at the moment.

  Although so, fluorescent disk, Catherine did not give up.

  She plans to use it for film and television production, although it's a bit of a scam for the Pentagon, but for making movies and multimedia, fluorescent discs are just right.

  If the camera uses a fluorescent disc to record directly, it can get an uncompressed panoramic video. It can be said that the clearer the resolution that the human eye can see, the clearer the picture will be.

  With fluorescent disc direct engraving technology, IMAX is nothing but a fleeting cloud.

  Even later if you need to play a movie adaptation, just take the mother plate digital and recreate the characters and plot.

  Of course, this extremely powerful format, after transcription, using PCM sampling 16BIT technology, every 120 minutes, at least requires more than 1.5TB of storage space, and the direct simulation of the master disk has an even larger amount of data, which can only be achieved by a fluorescent disc.

  These things are good, but they are just appearances, and if you want to achieve them, it will take ten or twenty years.

  These things were also Catherine's pursuit.

  Since I've come to this world, things that felt unpleasant before will naturally have to be changed by myself.

  Just think about it, James Cameron won the Oscar with his own fluorescent disc engraving technology, how interesting is that!

  However, such technology has truly separated cinemas and TVs. After all, TVs are not enough to achieve such a panoramic view.

  Of course, this has nothing to do with Catherine, and it may even reduce the probability of pirated copies spreading.

  Thought of the fluorescent disc direct photography film, Catherine also thought of her own film "Flags of Our Fathers". This film is still on Christmas holiday.

  As for "Sulphur Island Family Letter", it has never started filming because finding a suitable Japanese actor is really too difficult.

  From a realistic perspective, VCD, DVD and XBOX are the current themes, Trinitron TVs and monitors, Apple's logo. Personal computers will go on sale next January 1st. And "Harry Potter" is about to premiere, the goal of our TV station is to rise from a New York-based TV station to a national TV station. The rules and gameplay of the war chess game are constantly expanding, optimistically estimated that in about ten years, Catherine's war chess will form a new cultural atmosphere.

  But in Catherine's ideal, she has been thinking about SED display, multi-core CPU, and fluorescent disk.

  The ideal solution is what Catherine has always wanted, and it's really something that can turn the world upside down. She even made a plan for this.

  But just then Catherine put the matter temporarily aside.

  The visa is finally in hand.

  Because she is going abroad, the work at hand can only be put on hold. However, Catherine still sent out the plan and let each company take it as a long-term goal to strive for - because her trip abroad this time may take some time. Technology doesn't necessarily have to be "cashable", making technical reserves is also necessary.

  Catherine is going to a total of seven places: Hawaii, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Philippines, Australia and New Zealand.

  And Elsa, along with her father Bruce, will also go.

  Catherine was still a minor, so Bruce, as her guardian, naturally had to go with her.

  And Catherine is not just going for fun, but also to inspect Taiwan.

  Taiwan's current preferential policies are too tempting for Catherine. If some of the underlying companies can be moved there, it will be possible for Catherine to further reduce costs and earn more profits.

  Of course, this is important, but Catherine's trip is also equally important.

  It's not easy to go abroad, so why not have a good time?

  And Catherine also applied for a visa for Elsa, so this time Elsa will go with her.
