38-in-1 is some random storage media (USB stick, DVD. SD card, CD ) with "38" (or 45 or 2, or 99, pick a number) media files (movie, TV show, YouTube series whatever ) in various resolutions, formats, modes etc sold for next to nothing in the street. Can be played Android-type boxes or even on phones / tablets Essentially sneaker-net but for watchable media. Not something you will see in much of in NA or Europe but very common in Asia and Africa where bandwidth /internet and more important, electricity, is relatively expensive. The 90 minutes with your family comment is spot on. in NA and Europe, this is mostly because folks don't have access to continuous internet. You are in back-country or don't have service or whatever. In the Africa / Asia case, its because you don't have internet and / or power. Most of the time, this media is viewed off TVs running on batteries, charged by solar, off an USB port. The electricity budget (because battery) says you get "90" mins of TV a day (not exactly 90: the power is shared between lights, charging phones, would be be more time but because electricity is limited, "TV time" is limited). So those "90" minutes are family time, we all watch the same thing together. Point being, in that world, Cam or SD of whatever works, no need for HD, or UHD or 4k or 8k - it is completely worthless. The screens that the content is being watched on are 720p most of the time. Something like this (edit replaced original link with a new one that explains what is happening better) https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/11/10/1052926... |
