It is our pleasure to invite you to our booth at Photokina 2008 from 23 until 28 September 2008 in Cologne / Germany:

Hall 2.1 (Input devices), Booth B-024
Seitz D3 digital scan back - generation 2

Based on our experiences of the first series of Seitz D3 digital scan backs we have developed a new generation of sensor, sensor electronics as well as back and camera hardware.

Simply because we can always improve - and innovation
is our passion.

The result: a new digital scan back with an image quality better than ever before!

At photokina 2008 we proudly present the new Seitz D3 digital scan back - generation 2. Learn more about this technical upgrade:

Join us at the photokina booth and experience the new technology.

Seitz D3 - 32-bit HDR - work in progress

 

Because of their speed both the Seitz 6x17 Digital and the Roundshot D3 is the ideal equipment for capturing an HDR scene in 32-bit.

To do that we create several bracketed images and merge the dng files in the Seitz Roundshot D3 to a finished 32-bit HDR image.

The advantage: limited lapse between images (little change of light, limited artefacts), a new raw HDR mixing algorithm for increased speed and very high accuracy, and last but not least the immediate visualisation of the 32-bit HDR on site.

Join us at our booth to get a sneak-preview of the beta-version of our 32-bit HDR software. Talk to HDR professionals and learn how they use the Roundshot D3 in their daily CGI work. Participate in the on stage presentation on HDR capturing and CGI rendering. 
Seitz Roundshot - fully digital

 

We are a small company with the mission to develop and innovate with fast growing digital products.

This is why we have to focus our resources on our digital business. We will therefore stop the production of our film cameras - the Roundshot Super 220 VR and the Roundshot 28-220 - after photokina 2008. 

Of course we continue to service and maintain our customer's film cameras as we have done in the past. Accessories and technical support will continue to be available for these camera models as it is for all our other - legendary - Roundshot cameras. 

 
D3 panorama images on display at photokina

 

A camera can only be as good as the image that it produces. We have given the Roundshot D3 and the Seitz 6x17 Digital a workout in the field and have come back with many interesting new panoramas. 

Come to our booth to have a look at the prints and at the files on the computer. As you can imagine the sheer pixel size is quite astonishing.  

Some highlights:

  • A 110 x 560 cm print of "Street Parade" - a techno festival in Zurich / Switzerland - with plenty of happy moving people, taken with the Roundshot D3 by Heinz Erismann
  • A 200 x 566 cm 6x17 32-bit HDR panorama of a Swiss waterfall and some new 100 x 280 cm 6x17 architecture and interior shots, taken with the Seitz 6x17 Digital by Urs Krebs
  • The gigapixel panorama view of the Swiss Alps (with Matterhorn), taken with the Roundshot VR Drive and a digital SLR camera by Matthias Taugwalder
