The great success of the phone undoubtedly greatly increased the appetite of Nebula Electronics. During the conference, Nebula Group struck while the iron was hot and named a series of new digital products around the concept of "S". The first ones were the former Nebula's leading products, the latest generation of MMP music players and DMP video players. They changed the previous Roman numeral ranking order and were both named "smusic" and "svideo".

Mmp is the number one weapon for Nebula Electronics to consume digital products. Although mobile digital products such as DMP and music mobile phones that can play MP3 are constantly emerging, which has seriously impacted the market share of digital music players, Nebula Electronics relies on excellent sound quality, increased storage volume and excellent industrial appearance design in each generation, as well as the software and hardware-take-all model that includes online music store downloads, firmly occupy the market leader. Even Apple's ipod cannot shake MMP's position like in previous lives.

Nebula Electronics has also boldly innovated to meet the needs of various customers, and released various sports MMPs in candy, glasses, headphones, etc. The previous generation's main product, MMP8, reached a capacity of 50g, touch and color screen, and supported wireless Internet download and sharing of songs and pictures. This time, the MMP named "smusic" reflects Nebula's always pursuing the thin and light design of mobile digital products to the extreme. It is twice as thin as the senior brother MMP8, and the volume is reduced by half. Although the price paid for this is that the capacity is reduced to 20g, it has added camera functions and a more gorgeous color screen. The pictures taken at any time can be uploaded through the computer.

For this reason, the QQ Community, the world's largest social networking website under Xingdong Network, has specially opened a digital photos and video area taken by non-professional digital cameras such as mobile phones, webcams and "smusic". Although the effect cannot be comparable to professional photography pictures, the strong atmosphere of life and massive image sharing function have quickly climbed the click rate of this area to the first place in the QQ community's clicks.

The new generation of "svideo" video player has been predicted to replace the leading position of MMP mobile media player since its launch. Now it has been blooming in just two years. There is a situation of fierce competition among nearly 100 manufacturers in the world. With the help of its advantages, Nebula's DMP not only mastered the patent for video decoding chips, but also used Xingdong Network's online store to reach a fee download agreement for genuine multimedia with many entertainment media companies around the world. It is also a soft and hard-wired market leader, and it still ranks the top in the market.

Many domestic counterfeit manufacturers even purchased Nebula Electronics' decoding chips and were cracked. They developed the so-called "mp4" player that is compatible with multiple network streaming media formats. mp4 can not only play copyrighted videos, but also play a large number of multimedia online, compatible with e-books, pictures, audio and videos. The performance is no less than that of Nebula, Samsung, Sony and other brand manufacturers. These miscellaneous products have fought a price war. This has greatly eroded the market share of these international manufacturers.

In order to ensure the profits of new products, in addition to using patents to fight legal battles to siege and suppress counterfeit manufacturers, major DMP manufacturers are more likely to open up new ideas in software and hardware, add games, e-books, and Internet access, so that high-priced DMPs will develop more and more like smartphones. However, in this regard, Nebula Electronics is still leading the many manufacturers, which is that Nebula attaches great importance to the core of DMP, which is video decoding technology.

When consumers buy dmp, they mainly want to watch videos that are compatible with many network media formats and decode high-display formats. Early dmps are limited by the ability to decode chips. They can only process videos in the 640x320 format at most, and mobile phones with video playback functions are unique to high-end smartphones. The decoding ability is weaker, and the popular 3gp standard is only at 176x144. Therefore, consumers often complain about smartphone videos that are stuttering in playback and blurry images.

All of this is caused by the inherent shortcomings of network streaming media. Streaming media refers to the media format of transmitting audio, video and multimedia files on the network. The streaming method divides video and audio and other multimedia files into compressed packets through special compression methods, and is continuously transmitted from the server to the user computer in real time.

In a system that uses streaming mode, users do not have to wait until the entire file is downloaded like non-streaming playback before they can see the content in it. Instead, they only need to buffer for a few seconds or dozens of seconds to play compressed video or audio on the user's computer using the corresponding player. The rest will continue to be downloaded until the playback is completed.

This sounds good, but in the early days when the transmission rate of wired networks was less than 1m and the wireless Internet speed was only measured in k, video transmission of dozens or hundreds of meters was undoubtedly a very challenging task. The real streaming format acquired by Xingdong Network was the video format with the highest compression rate and the smallest volume in that era, so it was quickly popular in the world. With this weapon, Nebula DMP's decoding ability can take the lead in the market.

As the pace of life in countries around the world accelerates, it is difficult for modern people to spend a lot of time watching videos and listening to the entire concert. However, the demand for entertainment in "fragmented time" when exercising, commuting, queuing, etc. is increasing. Mobile phones add the function of playing games and listening to music in addition to making phone calls. Sony's "walkman" walkman's popularity illustrates this problem.

This is the reason why MMP quickly defeated the portable CD and MD. The large capacity, small size, and unaffected by bumps and the addition and replacement of tracks at any time through the Internet have made it cater to people's entertainment needs for fragmented time. However, as consumers' tastes improve, simple audio can no longer meet everyone's needs for leisure, and the demand for pictures, text, videos and games is becoming increasingly urgent. This is also the reason why the handheld game consoles, e-books and dmps are very popular.

Under Yang Xing's ideas, Nebula Electronics believes that these products will eventually be collected into personal mobile digital terminals with smartphones as the core, and now they have finally been initially reflected on the phone. The effect has also been recognized by the market through snowflake orders. Of course, Nebula Electronics wants to take advantage of the victory and take advantage of this whirlwind blowing from the phone to make its digital products rich, making the whirlwind a "s" storm and making a big profit!

On the day of the conference, Nebula Electronics rushed to launch the "S" naming and promotion event, announcing that it would integrate the previous "star computing" and the Internet of Things technology proposed this year, and will launch a batch of digital products with "S" heads such as sbooks (laptops), stv (smart Internet LCD TVs), sread (e-books and learning machines). The most popular viewer is a home entertainment terminal called sbox.

Sbox looks like a square white box. Strictly speaking, it should belong to a httpc home theater computer. It has a CPU, memory, hard disk and optical drive like an ordinary computer, but uses a special motherboard and components to compress the volume to a very small size. Because it has all the functions of the computer, Nebula Electronics also added an integrated graphics card produced after acquiring 3dfx, boldly adopting a technology called heterogeneous computing, and combined with the home version of the Star Wars system, turning the smart home that Yang Xing originally demonstrated from a concept to a reality.

At the 1999 World Congress, Yang Xing showed an intelligent digital solution that uses home computers as the core to control home appliances. In fact, it can be said that it was the earliest attempt of the home Internet of Things. After unremitting efforts, Nebula Electronics used Sbox and Sphone to allow the audience to reproduce Yang Xing's demonstration at that time. The price of the entire solution is very practical. Even ordinary non-smart home appliances can use cheap intelligent control devices to make the lights go out and make an appointment for hot bath water before returning home.

Of course, the entertainment function of Sbox itself is more interesting. Since it is a computer, general entertainment applications are no problem, especially its games and high-definition playback functions, which make the audience unable to stop. Sbox, combined with the camera and dedicated controller, can play many games in the wii somatosensory game consoles that Nebula Electronics hot sells. Combined with the universal plan of all-platform accounts promoted by Xingdong Network, the email address, QQ and community login numbers on mobile phones, computers, game consoles and other devices are unified into one number, allowing consumers to share the network with the help of devices such as phones, sboxes, and stvs. The dream of players around the world to play the same game is no longer out of reach.

Sbox's 720p HD playback function is even more amazing to the audience. The DVD standard was proposed in the early 1990s. With the popularity of large-screen HD flat-screen TVs such as LCD plasma, people are no longer satisfied with the imaging effect of DVD. The world's home appliance giants have long been brewing the next generation of product standards. The high-definition video playback standard proposed by the United States, Japan and other countries in accordance with the requirements of high-definition TV 720p and 1080p has become a topic that industry insiders often talk about.

This year, Toshiba Japan proposed HDDVD, and Sony proposed Blu-ray DVD confrontation. The two camps officially launched a battle in high-definition formats. No matter how the manufacturer attacks the opponent, both formats make customers feel that the effect of high-definition videos is hugely leap compared to ordinary DVDs. In addition to using DVD drives to watch dishes, Sbox also launched a paid high-definition video download service online store, allowing users to watch high-definition videos with shocking effects.

Many home appliance owners present had another plan. Although Nebula Electronics did not spare any effort to protect their products, the world was too big, and there were many technical madmen in the Star Clan who took pride in cracking the technical protection of Nebula Electronics. Many people cracked the paid download function of MMP and DMP, allowing them to "jailbreak" to play network multimedia files. If Sbox is cracked quickly, wouldn't the games and high-definition movies be used for free? So many manufacturers in the venue surrounded Nebula Electronics and asked them to provide their complete set of Sbox-like solutions like "Spring" motherboards.!~!
