Progressive Scan 3CCD, Total Manual Control

Technology that pushes the possibilities.

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.

The new high sensitivity 1/3" 3CCD achieves 625 lines of horizontal resolution.

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 3rd 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.

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.
