Where To Buy. Work that previously was limited to post-production can be simply and effectively accomplished in the field, in the camcorder.

An Open Architecture philosophy, performance found only in much more expensive video cameras, Total Image Control and the solid foundation of Genuine Canon Optics, interchangeable lens capability and superb Canon image processing quality are united in the XL2.

The XL2 brings a host of performance and convenience features to this class of video camcorder- benefits that can't be found in this combination on other high-end video cameras. They include: Canon Super Range Optical Image Stabilization in the standard lens; dual aspect ratios; various frame rate capabilities; image gamma and detail controls; skin detail control and convertible LCD display among others. Unprecedented image control coordination between two XL2 cameras, remote computer camera control and direct video recording to computer are just a part of the capabilities of the XL2.

Never before has so much creative power been put in the hands of the film maker, video artist, and corporate and event videographer. The aspect ratio is the most common aspect ratio for film-based movies, and produces full screen playback on widescreen TVs.

Variable frame rates. Progressive non-interlaced scanning mimics a film camera's frame-by-frame image capture and delivers spectacular clarity for high speed subjects and a cinematic-like appearance. Shooting in 30p mode offers video with no interlace artifacts.

But film- and video-makers turn to 24p for the "cine" look even if their productions are not going to be transferred to film, simply because of the "look" of the frame rate. This mode is used when the finished video is to be converted to 60i so that video can be viewed on a television. The pulldown allows editing software to extract true 24 frames a second.

Customizable Cine Look. Each variable can be adjusted independently, thereby giving you precise control over the "film-like" appearance of your video. The color matrix defines the camera's color output; the matrix lets you define the amount of primary and secondary colors that are produced. The primary colors are red, green and blue, with the secondary colors cyan, magenta, yellow made from the combinations of two primary colors.

With the XL2's Color Matrix, you can change from a video to a cine "look" for the end product. Adjusting gamma allows you to control the way the camera reproduces various tones.

Video shot on the XL2 can be gamma corrected to allow for the final usage of the video -- where it will be shown. The display medium can distort the brightness, therefore if the gamma is corrected for the display medium when the video is shot, the display will show the correct brightness level.

By switching to the Cine curve, the tonal qualities of the images produced have shading and coloration similar to that of film. Setting the control to high, medium or low manages the highlight compression of the video signal. To emphasize contrast in the video's dark areas, "Stretch" is selected. To deepen or enhance the dark area, "Press" compress is selected.

You can adjust just how much detail information is removed -- just enough coring to reduce picture noise, but not enough to hurt the detail in the image. By using this feature, pictures that do not require a lot of detail can be softened. This feature also can be used to hide imperfections during close-ups, for example. Increasing video sharpness can increase the video noise slightly. This is important for two reasons.

The first is that we have become used to viewing high quality video. The second is that video noise makes compression -- to DVD, for example -- less efficient.

This adjustment allows you to shoot in black and white. Compared to a single CCD, the three CCD system achieves outstanding detail with highly accurate color reproduction suitable for the demands of high-end video production: wide dynamic range, low color noise, high-contrast detail, natural color resolution and low-aliasing.

The three CCD image sensors are specifically designed to capture as much image detail as possible and for shooting under extremely low light conditions. In super low light, the XL2 captures crisp and clear digital data. Under extremely bright conditions, the XL2 greatly reduces vertical white streaks and smears, making it a consummate field recording device for all conditions.

Total Image Control. Professional cameras use 3 IRE for the black level. It changes once you pause recording. Page Recording In Mode Recording in Mode The camcorder uses the full width of the CCD, retaining image quality and providing a larger horizontal angle of view.

Drop frame time code synchronizes the time code of 30 fps with the actual frame rate of NTSC video, which is Page Setting The User Bit Setting the User Bit The user bit display works on the hexadecimal system that consists of a mixture of eight numbers or letters.

There are sixteen possible characters, numbers 0 to 9 and letters A to F. This is useful for labeling tapes. With 12 bit, you can select to record on two channels, leaving two channels free for adding sound later 12bit CH , or to record on four channels simultaneously 12bit CH The sampling frequency in 16 bit is 48 kHz and in 12 bit 32 kHz.
