PrintedArt Introduces Studio Accounts for Professional Photographers

Franklin Lakes, NJ – November 22, 2010 – PrintedArt, an online fine art photography gallery and printing service, today announced the launch of its Studio Accounts program, which offers printing services to professional photographers. Photographers operating their own studios can now use PrintedArt for their fulfillment needs, utilizing the same gallery-grade material PrintedArt offers their customers.

“By making our materials more accessible to photographers and their customers, we enable them to gain a bold, new display format which makes a statement on any wall,” said Klaus Sonnenleiter, president and CEO of PrintedArt. “Not only is it a great option to offer their clientele, but also a great way to showcase and promote their own talent.”

Photography studios are eligible to receive discounted shop display materials, as well as volume discounts for their PrintedArt orders. Aside from the standard materials offered, photographers have access to special order items with unusual formats, special hanging materials, or other options not commercially available to the general customers.

The standard PrintedArt mounting options include:

*  Aluminum dibond mounts, a very light-weight, yet rigid material that allows for an ultra-thin wall-mount;

*  Acrylic finish over an aluminum dibond mount which provides the best protection for the image along with an eye-popping high-gloss display;

*  Gallery-wrap canvas offers a more traditional form of display by using a textured surface for the print to make it look more like a painting;

*  Prints on archival paper can be used for any kind of custom framing and will still guarantee lasting colors with UV protection to avoid any risk of fading.

PrintedArt also offers a fine art photography collection, hand selected by a staff of curators who have created high-quality gallery to choose from.

To ensure delivery by the holiday season, please place orders by December 2nd. During the month of November all shipments within the United States are free of charge.

About PrintedArt:

Printed Art is a web-based fine art photography collection, hand-selected by our experienced staff of curators who have created a highly selective gallery for the home decor and hospitality markets.

Every image in the collection is sold in a limited edition and produced in a modern gallery-grade display format mounted either on aluminum dibond and finished with acrylic, printed on canvas, or as fine art prints on archival paper for custom framing.

The PrintedArt PhotoLab allows customers to print their own images in the same professional quality as our fine art collection.

« Back to news

Ambarella has announced the availability of a complete 3D camera solution that includes the company’s new 3D video pre-processor. The S3D pre-processor works with Ambarella’s A5s and A7 camera systems on chip (SoCs) to enable full HD 1080p 3D video recording and high-resolution 3D photography. It connects to two standard CMOS image sensors and processes the image data to create a single video stream for the A5s or A7 camera SoCs. It also supports the display of 3D video and still images on the camera’s 3D LCD display. The S3D and full 3D camera reference design kit with A7 or A5s SDK are available to camera manufacturers immediately

Ambarella Introduces Complete 3D HD Camera Solution for Outstanding Video and Still Image Quality at New Consumer Price Points

S3D video pre-processor first to offer full HD 1080p60 3D recording and display capability

Santa Clara, Calif. — November 22, 2010 — Ambarella, Inc., a leader in low-power, high-definition video compression and image-processing semiconductors, today announces the availability of a complete 3D camera solution that includes the new S3D™, a 3D video pre-processor. This introduction further extends the Company’s product portfolio for the fast-growing market of advanced hybrid still and video cameras. The S3D works with Ambarella’s industry-leading A5s and A7 camera system on chips (SoC) to enable full HD 1080p 3D video recording and high-resolution 3D photography with exceptional image quality. It connects to two standard CMOS image sensors and processes the image data to create a single video stream for the A5s or A7 camera SoCs. It also supports the display of 3D video and still images on the camera’s 3D LCD display.

“Ambarella’s new S3D-based 3D camera solution enables a new generation of HD 3D cameras at consumer price points and with outstanding video quality up to 1080p60 resolution,” says Fermi Wang, Ambarella CEO. “Consumers are finally able to create 3D movies and still pictures that fully exploit the capabilities of their full HD, 3D televisions.”

When combined with Ambarella’s A7 HD camera SoC, the S3D enables development of cameras up to 1080p60 resolution, while combining it with Ambarella’s A5s HD camera SoC enables resolutions of 1080p30, 1080i60 or 720p60. Both the A7 and A5s feature dual stream H.264 encoding, enhanced image stabilization with rolling shutter correction for CMOS sensors, excellent low-light imaging, wireless connectivity options, and extremely low power consumption.

The S3D can accept input from CMOS sensors with MIPI, parallel, or SLVDS interfaces and supports runtime parallax adjustment. It also supports HDMI 1.4 3D information, so that the camera can automatically trigger the 3D television to enter 3D mode without manual control of the television’s HDMI input.

The S3D is offered as part of a complete 2D/3D camera reference design with A7 or A5s SoCs and includes hardware design files and full software applications. The included comprehensive calibration flow software guarantees optimal sensor alignment, a critical factor in the creation of high-quality 3D images. Software is also provided to automatically generate 3D on-screen-displays (OSD) from 2D OSD bitmaps.

The S3D and full 3D camera reference design kit with A7 or A5s SDK are available immediately. Pricing information can be obtained directly from Ambarella at http://www.ambarella.com, or by calling +1-408-734-8888.
