Of repass tradition outside buy SD blocks interface, the SDHC that still can continue to increase 32GB blocks mobile memory. To the architect of digital product, such standard can simplify greatly their job when designing storage system, conduce to reduce development cost, shorten development time.

Embedded the content of SD standard includes:

•Completely compatible SDHC (SD 2.00) interface standard.

•Support 3.3V or 1.8V power supply at the same time.

•But from embedded SD Shan Cunqi uses an operating system

•Agile divisional mechanism, can be in embedded SD Shan Cunzhong differentiates many different functions are divisional.

•Protect a mechanism, to every partition gives a physics to be read differently, write, erasure attributive.

•Data is robust sexual mechanism, partition of visiting team physics undertakes installing, assure to drop electric immunity to the accident, protect crucial data.

•Mode of section report dormancy, can optimize power supply to configure managing electric energy to use up, extend time of batteries add boat.

With TD-SCDMA, AVS (phonic video makes up decipher) the standard is same, china makes the purpose of mobile memory standard depend on, do away with the forestall of foreign standard, the shift that builds China to paddle one’s own canoe stores industrial catenary.

Current, mobile memory market basically is mastering speech authority by foreign industry alliance. Fall in order to loosen namely, the SD standard that Toshiba and American SanDisk technology are core, with SamSung, Nuojiya the technology MMC multimedia that is core blocks a standard, the CF level that SANDISK pushs alone and all alone Buddhist nun remember a club to wait.

Before this, as a result of the mainland mobile storage company starts later, to advance standard process as soon as possible, standard working group ever tried to combine Chinese Taiwan manufacturer, make alliance of industry of cross-strait shift memory jointly. And, both sides had discussed more than two years for this.

But, taiwan region industry has his plan additionally, earlier moment, they established similar alliance, the name is ” MI card drives alliance ” , the dominant in trying to make working group of mainland shift level square.

Chen Qing just expresses, standard working group is not accepted ” absolute level is allied ” join, allow single company name to join only, no matter before they joined what standard organization. Both sides is this all the time refuse to budge.

But, MI is allied later go and seek refuge with sb foreign standard is organized ” MMC(multimedia memory gets stuck) the standard is allied ” , this is the organization that the alliance of SanDisk and Xi Menzi dominant starts, also be the standard organization that mainland exert oneself does away with.

The reporter learns, MI card passed MMCA plenary session formally at present (multimedia blocks plenary meeting) examine and verify, hopeful becomes next generation memory to block a standard, and Taiwan area is alleged ” labour grinds courtyard ” had become MMCA2008 year board chairman.

Standard of La Guang DVD was not predicted in Chinese market outlook

January 27, 2008

Afterwards pioneer is in China roll out La Guang DVD, day to establish investment 100 million after Yuan Zaihua produces La Guangguang head, on January 24, 2008, all alone Ni Zaihua is rolled out its first La Guang is broadcasted machine BDP-S300, the price is 4990 yuan, this price relatively was in last year China the machine of dish of vanward La Guang of the sale is low-cost nearly 10 thousand yuan.

Before a week, change sides in a war of China accept brother supports La Guang, more make of next generation DVD standards of prolonged contend for La Guangbiao to take dominant advantage definitely, because this serves as most the future that business of core technology support alls alone the newest tendercy hopeful of the Buddhist nun leads an industry.

　　 Of high-definition standard contend for

The number of next generation is video product, its core is high-definition. Color television has been in upgrade gradually replacement, and to it the DVD disc player of form a complete set does not have corresponding follow-up however, its reason is in going 4 years, a group of people of same interest of La Guang DVD that guides in order to all alone the company gives priority to the Buddhist nun and for dominant with Toshiba and Microsoft HD-DVD a group of people of same interest is aimed at next generation DVD to made type launch intense have a contest, the limits of contention affects hardware, content, IT arrives a lot of domain such as consumption. Only the standard decided, next generation product ability are enough better industrialization. In because two kinds of standards are in,going a few years all the time be locked in a stalemate, the manufacturer such as LG and SamSung had rolled out the CD driver that supports two kinds of levels at the same time, this kind of concomitant situation ever was inside a lot of course of study it is inevitable that the personage looks road.

The another great power that promotes next generation DVD development comes from movie industry. The DVD of common form is at the beginning of 21 centuries get developing flourishingly, the financial standing contribution that is a lot of movie companies is quite much, but its develop to already was immersed in halt now, consequently pressing hope can have movie industry a kind of new form, the DVD that prevail on consumer collects at hand changes high-definition version. According to the data of Adams Media Research, last year DVD sales volume relatively glided 2006 5% , make the administrative layer of each big movie company afraid, consumer will defer the DVD that buys any patterns, till the format contend for get settlement till. Cong Mou is planted say on degree, laguang and HD-DVD format after all which kind of technologies had better not be the most important, who is the most important the passenger on the car is most — , the victory that gains the market only, ability wins tomorrow.

because of such, in the contention of high-definition CD, knock finally by Hollywood issued last hammer, the influence of domain of electron of cost of content industry offset again dash forward show. In what just ended American consumption electron was exhibited 2008 (abbreviation CES is exhibited) on, the film that China accept brother announces to this company is made will rise on May 1 from this year, will support blue finishing type only. This implies the support that leaves company of two big movies only by the HD-DVD format of Toshiba company dominant: The round-the-world film below general and electric division and the clique below banner of Wei Yakang Mu draw unconscious motion picture. Except China accept brother, suo Ni company, China special - the 20 centuries Fox that company and news group division issue Dishini appoints La Guang to be special format. These two kinds of formats are incompatible, that is to say HD-DVD player cannot broadcast the film that with La Guang the format distributes, vice versa.

According to Wanner brotherly high level says, they had realized, standard of two kinds of DVD at the same time on consist in market, let consumer not know what to do, had affected their sale outstanding achievement. The summertime schedule for showing motion pictures in a theater 2007 is the booking office on movie industry history is highest, outstanding achievement of this pair of annual holds Ceng Yin of China accept brother to anticipate extremely high, but when end of the year, their annual outstanding achievement dropped than before one year instead 2% . Investigation shows, core reason is, those bought high-definition TV (since 2009, the United States will support imitate TV no longer) consumer, concern selects wrong DVD standard, then they would rather await.

Of Wanner oriented have conclusive sense, wanner controlled global housekeeping money 30% of video market, of Wanner join will make La Guangzhen battalion acquires the market share of 75% . Meanwhile, wanner still is in charge of distributing the program of HBO and BBC. Wanner’s importance still depended on it causing domino effect. Latest news shows, what bear HD-DVD a group of people of same interest at present is additional a group of company of two Hollywood production the position that plays Meng Hehuan ball also appeared to become loose. Round-the-world Ceng Xiangdong Zhi promise, the film below company division uses HD-DVD to make type issue entirely. But a variety of evidence make clear, round-the-world will fulfil this promise no longer henceforth. And the clique is pulled unconscious also after afterwards Wanner decides exclusiveness supports La Guang, also interrupted the long-term cooperation with HD-DVD, at least partial film future can be issued through Laguang. From the point of whole, of HD-DVD live the issue is very pressing already.

One does not wish to divulge the industry public figure of the full name thinks, to content enterprise character, of two old standards adding secret technology is his more take a fancy to. But add HD-DVD a group of people of same interest in succession as a result of Microsoft, Intel, turn standard IT the tide your content business not quite be at ease — control pilfer edition effectively only after all, content business just can score more gain from which. In fact, arrive from alternant system encode standard, microsoft is thrown in HD DVD standard really quite much, so that ground of the latercomers surpass the formers becomes the cacique company of HD-DVD a group of people of same interest.
