    CREO INTRODUCES LEAF VALEO WIRELESS DIGITAL CAMERA BACK FAMILY AT DRUPA 2004

    Leaf Valeo Wi Highlights
    • The new Leaf Valeo Wi family uses built-in Bluetooth wireless technology for two-way communication between the camera and the Leaf DP-67, a 6 x 7 cm (3.9 inch) image display and control unit, based on the HP iPAQ pocket PC;
    • The Leaf Valeo Wi family is the fastest digital back system in the market at 1.2 sec/frame;
    • The 16-bit A/D (analog to digital) converter assures the widest tonal range for rich and smooth tonal transitions.

    DRUPA 2004, DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY -- May 13, 2004 -- Creo Inc. (NASDAQ: CREO; TSX: CRE) is launching the next generation Leaf(tm) Valeo digital camera back with an innovative wireless display at Drupa 2004, the largest international trade show for print media production. The Leaf Valeo 22Wi (22 million pixels) and the new Leaf Valeo 17Wi (17 million pixels) digital camera backs are featured in both still life and live action photography on the Creo stand B10, Hall 4 at Drupa 2004.

    Bluetooth Wireless for Leaf...

    The new Leaf Valeo Wi family uses built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology for two-way communication between the camera and the Leaf DP-67, a 6 x 7 cm (3.9 inch) image display and control unit, based on the HP iPAQ pocket PC. Users can zoom-in on high resolution images that display instantly on the Leaf DP-67 image display and control unit. They can verify focus, set camera parameters and even manage files and folders from a distance of up to 10 meters (33 feet). The DP-67 acts as both a "digital proof" and a "personal photographic assistant".

    The Leaf Valeo Wi family is the fastest digital back system in the market at 1.2 sec/frame with its unique DSR (Dual Sensor Readout) technology (patent pending). DSR technology achieves record capture rate by utilizing the CCD two-channel simultaneous readout. Both the 17 mega pixel and the 22 mega pixel CCDs present an optimized 3:4 format for a classic photographic ratio that's efficient and minimizes cropping.

    Leaf's Large Format Power turns existing large format analog cameras into digital systems, allowing users to control aperture and shutter speed from their computer. The electronic lens control allows speeds up to 1/500 sec in 1/10 f-stop intervals producing accurate and consistent shutter performance. A Live Video View feature enables easy and accurate composition by superimposing a designer layout over the live image as well as on sensor absolute focusing.

    The 16-bit A/D (analog to digital) converter assures the widest tonal range for rich and smooth tonal transitions. An advanced scaling algorithm enables a smooth film-like look in high-scale enlargements for files over 300 MB.

    Creo Leaf: A History of Innovation...In 1992 Leaf introduced the world's first digital camera back, the Leaf DCB. Since then Leaf has continuously led the professional digital market by developing innovative award-winning solutions. For more information about Leaf, visit www.creo.com/leaf
