<p>Kaidan Announces KiWi Panoramic Tripod Head Upgrade Bundle Aimed at iPIX<br />
Photographers</p>
<p>KiWi=81 upgrade provides iPIX=AE photographers using Nikon=AE Coolpix=AE cam=<br />
eras<br />
with three-shot indexing capabilities and new software imaging options.</p>
<p>San Francisco, CA - Macworld Expo - January 5, 2002: The world's leading<br />
provider of immersive imaging solutions, Kaidan Incorporated, today<br />
announced a limited-time promotional iPIX upgrade package for their KiWi<br />
880/990/995 Panoramic Tripod Heads. These KiWi tripod heads are designed to<br />
work with the Nikon Coolpix 880, 990 and 995 digital cameras respectively<br />
and are used to orient, position and increment the camera for panoramic<br />
photography. The offer compliments the recently announced 2.0 version of the<br />
iPIX=AE 360 Suite=81 and iPIX=AE Suite Pro=81 software, which provides iPIX<br />
customers with a new capability of stitching a full spherical scene from<br />
three equally spaced hemispherical fisheye images. The aforementioned Kaidan<br />
tripod heads feature interchangeable indexing disks and therefore have the<br />
flexibility to capture two or three (any number from 2 through 22 are<br />
optionally available) equally spaced images that can be used in conjunction<br />
with the new iPIX software as well as other stitching applications such as<br />
Photovista (MGI Software, Inc.) and Panoweaver (<a href="http://www.easypano.net" title="http://www.easypano.net">http://www.easypano.net</a>).</p>
<p>The upgrade package includes either a Kaidan KiWi 880, 990 or 995, a copy<br />
(Windows) of Photovista panoramic imaging software from MGI Software, Inc.,<br />
and a expanded set of indexing detent discs (2, 3, 5, 6, 14 and 18<br />
position). Photovista is a complete panoramic stitching program that<br />
provides detailed high-resolution panoramas using as few as 5 shots (when<br />
shot with the Nikon Coolpix fisheye lens that is also used for iPIX images).<br />
Even more detail, and the ability to zoom in while maintaining a high level<br />
of detail, can be obtained with the Nikon standard and wide-angle lenses<br />
when used with the 14 and 18 position discs on the KiWi. The package gives<br />
the photographer full creative control with all the Nikon Coolpix lenses and<br />
with a variety of imaging options and software applications.</p>
<p>The package sells for $189.95, which is a savings of approximately $100 off<br />
of the suggested retail price and is only available directly from Kaidan. In<br />
order to qualify for the discounted price, the old iPIX rotator head must be<br />
sent into Kaidan.</p>
<p>According to Sal DiPaolo, Director of Sales and Marketing for Kaidan,<br />
"Whether you're using iPIX software with 2 or now 3 circular fisheye images,<br />
Easypano's Panoweaver for QuickTime=AE VR cubic output with 2 circular fishe=<br />
ye<br />
images, or MGI's Photovista with 5 or 6 full-frame rectangular fisheye<br />
images, you only need one Kaidan tripod head to get the job done. We realize<br />
that photographers have numerous software options for creating immersive<br />
environments and we provide an assortment of discs with our KiWi tripod<br />
heads just for that reason. We want to support the software choice of our<br />
customers for today and tomorrow."</p>
