Fully prepared for anything.

The XL2 is the perfect camera for so many shooting applications

because of its widely adaptable functionality. From simple handheld

shots to complicated multi-camera setups, the XL2 can handle it all

with consistency and exceptionally high performance.

SMPTE TIME CODE

The XL2 achieves full professional utility

with SMPTE time code capability

–

the

standard system for broadcast use

–

available in three different options:

Free Run: Essential for synchronising

between tapes on multi-camera shoots,

this feature allows the counter to run

regardless of the power/recording

settings.

Rec Run: The DV convention, this feature

has the counter running only during

recording

–

the continuous time code

is recorded onto the tape.

Preset Setting: With this option you can

set the counter to whatever value you

–

this is particularly useful for

ensuring counter continuity from one

tape to the next.

EBU COLOUR BAR AND TEST TONE

In addition to the EBU colour bar that

allows post-production colour

synchronisation, the XL2 also features

a 1Khz test tone at either

–

12 or

–

20 dB.

INDEX STAMP

An essential feature for most filmmakers,

the XL2 offers more than just the basic

index signal. The memory function is not

necessary to record with an Index Stamp,

nor is it recorded directly onto the picture.

REC SEARCH AND REVIEW

The Rec Search feature automatically finds

the start of each new recording to

ensure continuous sequential recording,

while the Rec Review function allows you

to review your footage in the LCD / EVF

of the XL2.

USER BIT SETTING

Instead of a clapperboard, this feature

can display and record scene data

using a hexadecimal system of eight

figures (numbers from 1 to 9 and letters

from A to F) that can be set in four

groups of two.

IEEE1394 CAMERA CONTROL (HDD)

Connect the XL2 directly to an HDD

recorder using the built-in IEEE1394

interface and AV/C protocol. This also

permits multi-camera setups with

remote operation from one XL2 to others

connected to it.

DV DIRECT TO PC RECORDING

Using the XL2’s IEEE1394 connection, it is

possible to connect the camcorder directly

to the PC and operate it remotely as well

as record directly on to the PC’s hard disk.

This is all easily achieved with free DV-PC

Recorder software available for download

from www.canon-europe.com.

DV STREAMING WITH

FIREWIRE IEEE1394

The XL2 permits streaming data transfer

without any degradation in picture

or sound quality using the FireWire

IEEE1394 connection.
