Technology that
expands the possibilities.
PROGRESSIVE SCAN 3CCD
The XL2’s superb image quality is
largely due to its 3 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.

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.
