Canon XL2 Camcorder User Manual


 
Technology that pushes
the possibilities.
PROGRESSIVE SCAN 3CCD
The XL2’s superb image quality is
largely due to its three highly sensitive
1/3" progressive CCD sensors. With
one 800,000 pixel (approx.) sensor
dedicated to each of the primary
colours
Red, Green and Blue
the XL2 can capture an outstanding
level of detail and reproduce colours
with greater accuracy. Using 3
rd
generation DSP signal processing
LSI technology, the XL2 achieves 625
lines of progressive scan capability.
When compared to standard interlaced
scanning, there is a noticeably improved
S/N ratio, wider dynamic range, lower
colour noise, more natural colour
resolution and lower aliasing. The XL2’s
unique 25p Cine-Look mode delivers
output that’s optimal for composite
processing as well as offering a better
vertical screen resolution and higher
detail without flicker.
Push your imagination to the limit. With cutting-edge technology and
Canon quality image processing, the XL2 not only gives you the ability
to realise your creative vision, but inspires you to expand it even further.
TOTAL MANUAL CONTROL
Whatever you’re shooting, the more
creative control you have the better.
The XL2 offers a level of manual control
that is unprecedented in its segment
and is sure to surprise even the most
experienced filmmaker or videographer.
Virtually every single shooting parameter
is adjustable
from separate Red,
Green and Blue Gain settings to Master
Pedestal, Coring and V Detail
giving
you the flexibility to shoot any given
scene in an infinite number of ways.
The new high sensitivity
1/3" 3CCD achieves 625 lines of
horizontal resolution.
