Topic: General Gigapanning / App no longer working

App appears to be working again, although I still can’t find it in the App store. Problem was reported to customer service and it received a case No. When I tried to update the the info in the case I got a popup stating I had to log in. None of my Gigapan passwords worked. It is sort of useless to ask for updated info when there is no way to enter the data.

How can i create the gigatag???

Topic: Gigapan Mechanism / Groaning sound

Mine (one week old) does it also and seems to be related to the speed setting, have you set it to “fast”? Try medium or slow and see if it quits. Mine stopped after I set it to slow. (Options/Expert/Motor Speed)

Topic: Web Site and Forum / Delete

How do I delete Gigapans? I’ve loaded 5 tests and made them private, to see what works. How do I now get rid of them ?

Topic: General Gigapanning / Viewing Gigapans on panoramic Liquid Galaxy systems

Hi Tim,
Gigapans onto high-res flat display-walls is pretty straight forward. Either multi-head video or a multi-machine cluster and/or position-aware apps. Curved tile walls become tricky if you want to zoom in and move around within the pano.
I’m not sure how you embed flash inside Google Earth or vice-versa. Google Maps yes, Google Earth not sure.

We’re in Sydney. I’m hoping to do something with high-res pano’s captured in the field for a forest-based climate experiment (http://www.uws.edu.au/hie/facilities/face). Primarily for outreach displaying onto a Liquid Galaxy in a visitors centre, but I’m sure the scientists will get some value. We’ll also be 3d modelling the site and pulling near-real-time data into the Google Earth platform. We should probably talk!

Hi,

How I create a Gigatag Pano???

in embed option don’t show that option :(

thanks.

Topic: General Gigapanning / Viewing Gigapans on panoramic Liquid Galaxy systems

Andrew, that is great news. I was just trying to dream up the easiest way to browse gigapans in a huge display, and the liquid galaxy systems are awesome.

You guys have one in Sydney? I’ll be moving to ANU this summer and we’ll be setting up timelapse gigapixel cameras around canberra when we have the time and budget (sample of the output: http://www.gigapan.org). Since the player is flash based it embeds in google earth so maybe we could view that in an lg system as well? Would be nice to have a place to display the output so its good to know the LG system is an option.

Great post, thanks for the info.

Topic: Digital Cameras on Gigapan / Shutter release cable

Tim: Sorry, we cannot release technical data/schematics.

Doug: Yes the D90 is a tight fit on the Epic 100. Did you know it’s also compatible with the Epic Pro(would be triggered electronically)?

John: What’s the Olympus camera model and lens combo you’re using on your Pro?

Topic: Embedding / Embedding with snapshots

I’ll check this out. Thanks!

Topic: Embedding / Embedding with snapshots

Gregory,
There are two ways to generate embedding code at gigapan.org. One is from the embed link at the gigapan’s full page. Snapshots cannot be included there. The other is from the list of your own gigapans, e.g., “My Home/My Gigapans.” That one allows you to include snapshots and places the snapshot ID numbers for you.
The code in my earlier post is two years old and differs from the code generated at gigapan.org today.

Topic: General Gigapanning / Shutter Troubles

Try these steps:

1. Ensure that the electronic trigger cable is completely connected to the camera body and to the EPIC Pro on the left of the LCD display.
2. Make sure the port is turned on in the camera.
3. Verify that the memory card in the camera is not full.
4. Verify that there is sufficient charge in the EPIC Pro battery.
5. If you are using manual focus, verify that the lens is in the manual focus mode.
6. If you are using autofocus, there may be some instances where the camera wasn’t able to achieve focus and therefore missed the picture (See Epic Pro user guide Section 2.8 for more information on auto focus).
7. Is Shutter Feedback enabled? In the Epic Pro Menu, check Options>Expert Options>Shutter Feedback>Off
If you continue to experience problems, please open a tech support case with us at http://www.gigapan.com/cms/support/contact-support

The GigaPan App will be available again soon! We’ll follow up on this post as soon as we have the estimated release date.

Topic: General Gigapanning / App no longer working

I have the Gigapan App on my iPad but it is no longer working and when I go to the App store there is no Gigapan App. I never received a notice that they were removing it. Does anyone know what has happened?

Topic: Web Site and Forum / Can't place gigapan in GoogleEarth

Eugene, I’m not quite sure what you mean by the “current mechanism of georeferencing” but I imagine you mean that if you type the name of a place into the relevant box and press Go, nothing happens. I have raised this as a bug today (Case #11423)

Topic: Digital Cameras on Gigapan / has anybody tried canon 50d

has anybody tried the canon 50d with the epic 100 if so how did you get on with the noodle as when i tried it i got a overlap anybody managed to use one and set up properly without getting overlap after stitching on there photos.

Topic: General Gigapanning / Shutter Troubles

Good Day

I just purchased a Gigapan Epic Pro and have used it a couple times with no issues. A couple days ago when I was trying to use it, it took the first few photos of the pano then the shutter stopped triggering. I have since tried it with a different camera and it too is not working.

I tried the “test shutter” function in the menu and again, no luck. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks

Steve

Topic: Stitch / Stitch 2.0: Dig up the old panorama photos

Great news. I’ve got a number of panoramas with artifact problems that I’d love to be able to re-do…

Topic: Stitch / Stitch 2.0: Dig up the old panorama photos

Another heads up prior to the Stitch 2.0 release announcement… This new release has a quite bit of improvement in various algorithms used to properly assemble a panorama image. It’s leaps and bounds ahead of the Stitch application currently in use, although still easy to use.

With that in mind, some may want to dig up the old panorama photos to restitch them with Stitch 2.0, especially those panoramas showing vignetting, or black columns, or those shaped as an arc.

Topic: Web Site and Forum / Website Fixes

I see the differences to Geolocation, but I still get an error when the Google Earth Plugin tries to load:

“This web site needs a different Google Maps API key. A new key can be generated at ”http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/introduction.html#Obtaining_Key.“>http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/…”

A fix for view counts issue has bene qued for testing, and should be in production this or next week.

Topic: Special-effects Gigapans / Continuous Pan/Tilt

This is something I would be interested in as well. I have a smaller camera (A sony nex) which is a bit on the small side to warrant getting the pro (which I understand has some kind of time lapse feature now). I’d love to get this feature on the 100, the ability to set a start position, an end position, and some time of total time and picture frequency.
