Having said that, everyone understands that the main payload on this drone should be this small camera, but how can Li Muzi take these photos to show you?
The answer was soon revealed.
A computer was pushed onto the stage by an assistant. Li Muzi skillfully connected a data cable from the computer to the camera. As her fingertips flexibly tapped on the keyboard, a surprising scene appeared On the computer screen, the photos just taken are shown one by one!
There is no process of developing film!
The pan was fried in one shot.
Everyone involuntarily stood up from their seats, stretched their heads to look at the rostrum, and even more impatient, they left their seats and tried to rush to the rostrum to carefully watch the imaging effect of this camera. After all, the computer screen It's too small.
Li Muzi yelled several times before reluctantly restoring the order of the venue. She smiled apologetically and said: "Dear enthusiastic audience, it seems that I robbed another colleague’s work. Okay, wait a while and you will see the real Digital photography technology-but for now, please let me end mine first."
People just remembered that this lady named Li Muzi released a drone.
"Everyone should know by now. The reason why our drone is equipped with a wireless data link and provides a download rate of 5Kbps is to receive the data transmitted from the drone in real time. At present, this small camera It can take photos with a resolution of 220,000 pixels. A 64KB EEPROM is installed inside, which can store about 8 digital photos and can be recycled. We can download these photos directly on this remote controller through the data link."
As she said, she raised a large operating handle on the table, and at the same time said apologetically: "It's a pity that due to technical limitations, we can't make this handle smaller. So I guess, this one is unmanned. For the time being, the machine is just a toy that boys like."
Her words caused a burst of well-meaning laughter, and Li Muzi immediately laughed: "Well, it seems that my drone is less popular than a digital camera. Then I will invite the deputy of the "Matrix" laboratory "Digital Optoelectronics Research Institute". Dean Steven Cezanne is here to introduce his invention."
Steven Cezanne took the microphone that Li Muzi handed over.
He did not directly display his products, but first invited all the audience to browse a set of photos on the projection screen-the desert starry sky in Las Vegas, the Empire State Building in Manhattan, the Great Wall in China, and the CES exhibition. The beautiful Showgirl... The resolution of these typical photographic scenes obviously does not reach the level that the film can present, but this makes all the audience present mesmerized.
Because this represents the coming of this new era, the era of all-digital photography!
Finally, Steven Cezanne finally took out his treasure-a digital SLR camera with the "Seagull 135" produced by China Magic Camera Factory as the body and optical components!
Although the maximum resolution of this camera is only 500,000 pixels, and even though the "Matrix" laboratory has marked it with a price of up to US$15,999, there are still many big brothers who are not bad money generously donating and ordering on the spot, because They believe that as the first digital SLR camera with practical value, this camera has a very high collection value.
I have to say that these big guys do have extraordinary vision, because 30 years later, the auction price of such a camera in the collection market has reached an astonishing $500,000...
With a digital camera, it is natural to have equipment that can process these all-digital photos-so Dr. Jim Karak became the third person to appear.
He released two series of computers in one go.
The first series is of course the SGI graphics workstation series that Dr. Jim is proud of.
Compared with the experimental "Indigo I", the "Indigo II" has been greatly improved. Up to 4 MIPSR2000-60CPUs can be installed to make it have the same computing power as a VAX minicomputer, and because of the standard floating-point processor The existence of VAX greatly surpasses VAX in graphics processing and applications that require a lot of scientific calculations; up to 16MB maximum memory installation capacity, up to 4 hard disk installation positions, each position can install a 50MB hard disk, The starting price of 19,999 US dollars, the top version price of 49,999 US dollars...
This makes every professional who has a lot of scientific computing needs excited!
But wait, what happened to the intuitive, free-wheeling interface during the demonstration just now?
However, Dr. Jim obviously did not introduce the meaning of it. He only briefly mentioned it. He said that every factory-made "Indigo II" workstation is equipped with this operating system as standard, well, not just the expensive "Indigo II" "I will bring it, and the new series that I will introduce after the link will also be brought.
This brand new series is of course "iDesk".
Compared with the "Indigo" series, "iDesk" obviously simplifies many functions. Only one CPU can be installed, floating-point processors are eliminated, a more concise chassis layout, and a weakened redundant design...
But none of this can stop its charm-this is a computer running in a 32-bit state!
Compared with the computer that IBM just launched, using Intel’s first 32-bit chip 80386, or the Apple "Macintosh" using the 32-bit Motorola 68030 chip that is already popular in the market, Dr. Jim unabashedly declared that its performance Turn it into a slag!
Not satisfied? Run for a minute!
A comparison demonstration was carried out on the spot-the competitor’s computer and "iDesk" ran the same complex program algorithm. IBM's 80386 took a full 15.7 seconds to get the result. Apple's "Macintosh" is slightly better, but it can also be used. It took 13.9 seconds, while "iDesk" took less than 6 seconds!
Because the RISC architecture is inherently more efficient than the CISC architecture, and because the operating clock frequency is only 12.5MHZ 80386, the operating clock frequency is Motorola 68030, which is 16MHZ, where is the opponent of MIPS2000-60 with a clock frequency of 60MHZ!
Moreover, people really saw the same interface on "iDesk" as the one running on the "Indigo" series.
However, "Matrix Joint Laboratory" obviously wanted to leave this suspense to the end. After introducing the powerful "Indigo" and the people-friendly "iDesk", and bombarding IBM and Apple by the way, Dr. Jim left the stage to him. My friend and the most reliable partner-"Matrix" laboratory "Central Processing Institute" president, MIPS company president, Dr. John Reloy Hennessy.
Dr. Hennessy is obviously also a qualified gunner. The first sentence he took on stage was to launch a heavy artillery shell on Motorola, the current leader in the semiconductor industry, and the possible future leader Intel!
