As Canon's first
high-definition video camera, the XL-H1 camcorder and
20x HD video zoom lens with superior Canon optics provide professional
level shooters with a low-cost 1080i resolution option for ENG,
documentary and reality TV production. Filmmakers will also appreciate
the extensive cine' controls and 24 frame option the XL-H1 camcorder
offers.
The camera offers uncompressed HD-SDI and SD-SDI output for seamless
integration into broadcast studios or high quality image transfer to
non-linear editing systems. The Genlock feature allows studios to easily
synchronize camera settings across multiple camcorders. Real SMPTE time
code input and output allow for streamlined tape and edit management.
This camera is fully capable of recording in standard definition DV
format as well.

HDTV Resolution
|
|
|
The XL-H1 camcorder has three 1/3
inch 16:9 interlaced CCDs that capture images at 1080i
resolution. The camcorder features selectable frame rates of
60i, 30 Frame and 24 Frame to allow the user to adjust to the
assignment at hand and can switch back to SD resolution if
needed. At the 30 Frame rate, broadcasters can capture fast
motion like sports with confidence that each frame is captured
individually and completely.
Filmmakers can utilize the 24 Frame rate when creating the look
and feel of movie film. The 60i frame rate, meanwhile, delivers
exceptional resolution for shooting environments like ENG or
Reality TV. The XL-H1 HD camcorder is the first model to include
Canon's proprietary DIGIC DV II image processor. DIGIC DV II is
an image processor that can process both HD and SD video signals
as well as still photos, while maintaining the correct color
space for each mode.

Uncompressed HD-SDI and SD-SDI
|
|
|
The XL-H1 camcorder has all the
connectors that professionals have been missing in other
low-cost HDTV camcorders. For the ultimate in video transfers
this camera has uncompressed HD-SDI and SD-SDI connectors. The
serial digital BNC connectors can transfer both HD and standard
definition signals.

Time Code
|
|
|
The XL-H1 camera is equipped with
true SMPTE time code input and output. Time code from the
camcorder can be sent to other recording devices (cameras, VTRs)
so they are all recording with the same clock.
|
|

Genlock Synchronization
|
|
|
Multi-camera shoots with the XL-H1
is no problem since the camcorder has Genlock sync. This feature
allows many devices including cameras, VTRs and switchers to
synchronize.

Canon 20x HD Video Lens
|
|
|
The Canon XL-H1 features Canon's
XL-interchangeable lens mount. For the XL-H1 camcorder Canon
builds a 20x high definition video zoom lens. It incorporates
multiple Fluorite glass elements for superior color, contrast,
resolution and reduction of chromatic aberrations. It is a fast
lens with maximum aperture f/1.6 to f/3.5 depending on focal
length. At its widest angle the lens is capable of close
focusing down to 20mm or about 0.8 inches.

Viewfinder and LCD Monitor
|
|
|
The XL-H1 comes with a
multi-functional color viewfinder and a 2.4 inch diagonal LCD
monitor with safe-zone frame-lines built in. There is a black
and white mode, selectable zebra exposure mode, horizontal and
vertical flip feature and a distance readout (with the 20x HD
lens). As menu options the user can select safe-zone frame-lines
for the following aspect ratios: 4:3, 13:9, 14:9, 1.66:1,
1.75:1, 1.85:1 and 2.35:1
|

Focus Assist Help Feature
|
|
|
The camcorder has a feature called
Focus Help that uses prompts in the viewfinder to aid fast
focusing. The PEAKING setting puts an exaggerated line on the
viewfinder image that disappears when focus is achieved. The
MAGNIFYING setting enlarges the viewfinder image which should
help the operator better judge fine focusing.

Optical Stabilization Feature
|
|
|
Canon calls its image stabilizer
Super-Range Optical Image Stabilization and it helps defeat
camera shake from hand held shooting and even shake produced
from a moving vehicle. Because it is an optical function it can
compensate for a greater degree of camera shake and avoids any
loss in image quality unlike electronic or digital stabilizing
methods. |
