Internet-connected Electronics Are Fueling More Rentals, And Less Buying, In Home Entertainment

Got X-Box, or PS3? Then you may be part of the trend in America that is buying movies less and less and renting more and more.  Research is showing that consumers are going to their rental retailers direct from the conforts of their home.  No more being mad at the lady in front of you for taking the last copy of the lastest release. Sales are down in the area of 11% for this same time last year and that is directly reflecting in the increased numbers for the rental retailers. Sign of the times, or trendy; time will only tell.  

1TB Optical Disc Developed by TDK

YES, I did say 1TB optical disc!  New develpoments by TDK has created such a thing.  TDK created a dielectric material as the reflection film that provides a high light transmittance in order incident light to efficiently reach as far as innermost layer and produce a clear eye pattern (read-out signal).

The result is impressive: While the light transmittance of a single layer is 95.1%, it becomes just 72.6% for the total 16 layers of the disc. The specific material has been already used in the currently available Blu-ray discs, according to TDK. 

Imagin the possibilities!

More Evidence of Blu-ray Making a Larger Impact on the Market

I have been touting Blu-ray and the replacement for DVD in the video world for a while and although there’s still a ways to go, it looks like that premonition is quickly turning more into a reality. Based on a recent article from CDRinfo (http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/News/Details.aspx?NewsId=28635), studies show that even with increases in the digital distribution of video content, Blu-ray integration continues to make significant headway in the market. In the US alone the sales of Blu-ray content is up 80% and Blu-ray players increased more than 100% compared to sales from the previous year.

The economic crisis which began in 2008, most likely played a big factor in slowing the conversion from DVD to Blu-ray, but recent data seems to point to Blu-ray rising this year with continued substantial growth still to come.

Political Presence in Dubai

As we have for the past 5 years, Vinpower Digital is exhibiting at the Gitex trade show in Dubai, U.A.E. However this year we had some very special visitors and some high ranking government officials from Taiwan personally visited our booth to learn more about our products. It was an honor to host them and we are proud to say they were very impressed with our product line and felt we had very good quality equipment with intelligent designs. Below I have posted photos of our esteemed visitors:

Azmi Chang, (Director General of Commercial Office Of Taiwan to Dubai )

Cindy Chen, (Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufactures Association Vice president)

Tom Tung-chung Tseng, (Director of Taiwan Trade Center, Dubai)

Blu-ray Player Sales on the Rise

Recently I read an article online from CDR Info (http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/News/Details.aspx?NewsId=28551) which discussed the growth in Blu-ray players (excluding PS3 gaming consoles). This article specifically covered the 3 largest growth markets including the USA, Europe, & Japan which combined look to account for 24 million units sold in 2010.

These are impressive numbers, but in reality it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Blu-ray is undoubtedly the format of the future when it comes to video content. However, going back to the early days of the video tape, this is the first format that required a specific TV format (HDTV) in order to enjoy the picture quality and enhancements that Blu-ray offers. So the transition has not been as smooth or as quick as DVD from VHS, but it is rapidly taking affect.

So when someone is contemplating whether they should produce their video project in HD and begin offering a Blu-ray version, they should really think about whether they want to be stuck in the past or be a part of the future. There is a difference and the consumers are recognizing this and making that change to Hi-Def, and they will demand that their content also be in HD.

Battle Of The Bay!

pirate.jpg     VS     forty-niner.jpg 

   The battle of the Bay has arrived! The Forty Niners of San Francisco will take on the Raiders of Oakland for bragging rights on who is best to represent the Bay Area. Well to this point, it appears that the Niners would not be the best to carry that torch being that they have not won a game in the 5 weeks of the 2010 season. On the other hand, you have the Raiders who have still not quite righted their ship since the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay pillaged their ship in the 2003 season. Therefore, you have the best of the worst battling for bragging rights in an irrelevant war. If you had a Vinpower Digital duplicator, you would be able to duplicate the video footage of prouder days for both of these teams. For now, you have Sunday where these two-hated rivals will go head to head and you’re guaranteed to see a fight!         

Duplicate Moments

old-camera.jpg

One of the first duplicators known to man would be the camera that we use to duplicate moments in time for eternity. Take a moment to look back at all the pictures you have ever posed for, or better yet think of the last picture you saw of yourself that you didn’t remember posing for; this is what this duplicator was created to do. Capturing a moment in your life and making it timeless. Therefore, if you’re the person taking the pictures turn that thing around and have a picture of you taken to add with the ones you took. Time is a precious gift often never appreciated until it’s too late. So along with duplicating precious moments for eternity, take the time given to you to appreciate the moment while you’re in the moment.

SEPTEMBER!?!? This is that time of year when the working classes just realize that the year is almost over. There are no more paid holidays to look forward to until November, and you are quickly approaching the 4th quarter. Too late, to look back now, hope you were productive. Your 1099 or W-2 will clearly answer that one for you. I say all this to say my favorite cliché of all… Carpe Diem – Seize the day. Get up, get out, and get something. Be productive to the best of your ability and then when you look up and it is September 2011 your not wondering where the year went because you would know where it went, and have something to show for it. Then you can get with Doc Brown (Back to the Future) and figure out how to use a Vinpower Digital Duplicator to duplicate the year repeatedly.

It is time to load up in the bus and roll out to a new year of school!!!!!  Now personally I was not one to see this as a bad thing.  I no longer was under mom’s watchful eye and free to use the good judgment that she gave me for 7 hours a day!  What ever you do just make sure that you use Vinpower Digital’s products for good rather then evil.  Could you imagine back in my day being able to use a USB Shark flash duplicator to copy my homework and distribute flash drives to the football team in trade for protection from the campus bullies.  Or the Shark Copier to duplicate the latest MP3 downloads and distribute the hottest mixes for every genre to rock the ditch parties.  So good luck to you all in your goal to be apart of the class of 2011!!!
