Canon XL2
Digital Camcorder
Canon XL2
A mini-DV camcorder featuring 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios, 60i/30p/24p (2:3, 2:3:3:2) frame rates, and XL2 Cine Image Controls to help you to achieve cinematic-like images. It features Canon's renowned XL Interchangeable Lens System for ultimate versatility and comes with a 20x Optical Fluorite (L-Series) Zoom Lens with Super Range Optical Image Stabilizer. The body is a magnesium alloy and has both a side and top grip with duplicate controls. The 2" mult-view color viewfinder allows right or left open-range viewing. Four Channel professional audio controls and SMPTE time code (drop, non-drop, rec-run, free run, user bit) are standard.
16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio shooting formats- With an increasing consumer shift towardswidescreen TVs that deliver the full width of film-based theatrical movies,plus the resulting need for productions in the 16:9 aspect ratio, Canon's XL2offers both the standard 4:3 aspect ratio and the 16:9 widescreen TV aspectratio. Representing the ratio of the screen width to its height, the 4:3aspect ratio is that of the common TV screen, and is the most commonly usedaspect ratio in broadcasting today.
- The 16:9 aspect ratio is the more common aspect ratiofor film-based movies, and produces full screen playback on widescreen TVs.16:9 also is the world standard aspect ratio for HDTV.
- By offering a camcorder that is able to be switched between the two aspectratios, Canon opens the door for multiple production options with the samecamera.
Variable frame rates
- 60i/30p/24p (2:3 and 2:3:3:2 both with 1/48th secondshutter speed) frame rates are available in the XL2
- The demands being made on the video productioncommunity to be able to provide solutions under a multitude of differentscenarios have been met with the Canon XL2. It delivers 60i, 30p, 24p (2:3 and2:3:3:2) frame rates. 60i (interlaced) is the standard video frame rate thathas been in use for decades; it's what you see on your home TV, and iscaptured by handheld consumer camcorders. Progressive (non-interlaced)scanning mimics a film camera's frame-by-frame image capture. 30p, or 30-frameprogressive, a non-interlaced formate, produces video at the rate of 30 framesper second, delivering spectacular clarity for high speed subjects. Shootingin 30p mode offers video with no interlace artifacts.
- The 24p frame rate, for example, is now widely adoptedby those planning on transferring the video signal to film. Butfilm/videomakers turn to 24p for the "cine" look even if their productions arenot going to be transferred to film, simply because of the "look" of the framerate. Also just as important as 24p, is the shutter speed of 1/48th persecond. This is the standard shutter speed that movie cameras use. Thecombination of 24p frame rate and 1/48th perfectly mimic a motion film camera.
- 24p with 2:3 pulldown produces video with the look and motion of film.24p, used in conjunction with a cine gamma curve on the XL2, produces imagesthat have similar tonal characteristics as film. This mode is used when thefinished video will be shown on television. 24p with 2:3:3:2 pulldown, is usedwhen the video is going to be transferred to film. The 2:3:3:2 pulldown allowsthe editing software to extract true 24 frames a second.
Customizable Cine Look
- With "big name" and not so well known producers turning to digital videofor their "films", increasing emphasis has been placed on delivering the cinelook to video. The Canon XL2 offers its users the ability to customize theirvideo recordings using a number of variables: color matrix, gamma, knee, blackstretch, vertical detail, coring, sharpness, noise reduction, color gain, hue,and film grain. Each one of these can be adjusted independently, therebygiving you precise control over the "film-like" appearance of your video.Because Canon utilizes a 12 bit DSP, maximum image quality is preserved.
Total Image Control
- Professional videographers need to have control over the set-up of theircamcorder. From complete automatic setting to fine adjustments of Master RGB,Setup Level, Master Pedestal, Skin Tone Detail, Program AE, Gain, AE Shift andLock, White Balanced, Shutter Speeds, Aperture Control, Zebra Patterns ClearScan and Interval Timer the XL2 has the total image control that professionalsneed. Because Canon utilizes a 12 bit DSP, maximum image quality ispreserved.
XL Mount Interchangeable Lens System
- A key feature of the Canon XL-series camcorders (andthe only MiniDV format camcorders with this feature), is the XL mountinterchangeable lens system. Unlike other systems, the XL2 offers users theability to change lenses, whether from within the XL series of video lenses,third-party cine lenses, or Canon's extensive range of photo lenses. This notonly makes the XL2 a far more versatile camera, it also opens up incredibleopportunities for the XL2 user.
- Within the Canon XL system alone there are four lenses: the new 20x OIS,16x OIS, 16x Manual, and 3x Wide. Then, using an XL system adapter, the entirerange of Canon photo lenses is available - a tremendous boon to thoseproducing wildlife and nature documentaries, for example. Other companies alsooffer a variety of specialty cine lenses that can be used on the XL2.
Flourite Zoom Lens with Optical Image Stabilization
- Canon is known worldwide for its optics - its broadcast and photo lenses,for example. The new 20x Professional L-Series Fluorite optical zoom lens forthe XL2 is an outstanding lens, using fluorite to deliver outstandingresolution, contrast and color reproduction. In addition, the lens featuresCanon's superb optical stabilization system. This corrects camera shakeinstantly and, with its SuperRange feedback system, even catches low-frequencyvibrations, refining the movement of the vari-angle prism, delivering the mostadvanced optical image stabilization available today.
SMPTE time code
- The Canon XL2 offers many on-camera enhancements tohelp capture high-quality footage, including features commonly found onbroadcast camcorders. Among these is the placement of a SMPTE time code on thetape. SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) time code isa digital signal that assigns a number to every frame of video, representinghours, minutes, seconds, frames, plus some additional information. The SMPTEtime code is used to identify a precise location on a video tape, a mainstayof professional editing allowing all tape and equipment to work together forprecise editing.
- You can choose Drop, Non-Drop, Rec Run and Free Runmodes. Also provided is User bit settings, allowing the inclusion of reelnumber or other user data.
- The XL2 also generates SMPTE color bars with 1kHz tone (-12dB and -20dB).SMPTE color bars with tone are the standard method of setting up video andaudio monitors and edit suites. By using industry standard color bars andtone, the XL2 fits in with all production equipment.
Custom Presets
- Three custom presets are provided on the XL2, and eachcan be assigned any one of a number of functions, accessible at the touch of abutton, for faster and easier camera operation. Among the functions are: colorgain, color phase, sharpness, setup level, V detail, color matrix, gamma,knee, black stretch, skin detail (hue, gain, area, Y level).
- These custom presets can be transferred to another XL2, or to a computer(3rd party software required), using the IEEE1394 connection.
Professional Audio Connections
- The Canon XL2 offers in-camera features commonly foundon more expensive production and broadcast camcorders. Among them areprofessional audio and video connections. The XL2 offers 4-channel audiothrough two built-in XLR connectors with phantom power. These inputs aredesigned for use with professional microphones. This balanced connectionallows for the use of very long cables without the introduction of outsidenoise.
- Condenser microphones need "phantom power" with +48Vpower going to the microphone along the same wires that carry the audiosignals. The XL2 supplies this through the XLR connectors.
- BNC connectors are used in professional and broadcast video applications.These connect a two-wire coaxial cable using a bayonet mount.
Open Architecture Design
- You can customize the XL2 to fit your specific application and preferencesthrough a full range of accessories. They include optional lenses,viewfinders, mounts and microphone adapters.
