Gigapixel photos (project Gigapxl)

If the accordion - stop me. But I kind of found this site.

Translation mine free, too, please do not kick much But clarify the text will accept with gratitude. So ...

Camera Gigapxl ™ captures exposure to the film in sufficient detail to further scan at resolutions up to four billion pixels. One gigapixel picture has a size of just over 44 000 x 22 000 pixels, and the image chetyrehgigapikselnye - twice as large in both dimensions - 88, 000 x 44 000 pixels.

Why use the term "pixel", if in fact used when shooting the film? Because immediately after fixing each exposure with dimensions 9 & quot; x 18 & quot; digitized and then stored in an environment with controlled temperature and humidity. All further processing and printing is performed to receive the scan (the dimensions of which are from one to four gigapixel). Consequently, real output from the camera and in what further work, a digital image.
