“We’re also planning to play a
stronger role in TV production.”,
comments Josie Yang. “We started
our first delivers to The Middle East.”
The numbers are still somewhat
small; in 2011 only about 10,000 TVs
were shipped. But in 2012 plans call
for a ten-fold increase. “We’ll also
start selling TVs domestically here in
China and we expect to sell 200,000
TVs.” Of course, selling TVs in Europe
is also part of the plan.
The TVs already manufactured
for The Middle Eastern market are
Plug&Play versions; the built-in tuner
can be either a DVB-S or DVB-S2 mod-
el. “For Europe we’re making TVs with
built-in DVB-T tuners.” But when Josie
Yang spoke about 3D TVs, the con-
versation got much more interesting:
“We’re hoping to be able to introduce
a triple tuner 3D TV in 2012 with DVB-
S2, DVB-T and DVB-C tuners.”
