Professional Tools for HD Video Capture Canon High Definition HDV video cameras reflect decades of Canon leadership and know-how in the design and manufacture of cameras and lenses for professional video and still photography. You get not only outstanding HD image quality, but also the operability, flexibility, reliability and connectivity that professionals demand of their gear. Canon HD video cameras deliver the technologies, performance and features that make them serious tools for the capture of creative HD content. They'll help you get the job done with efficiency, excellence and expression. The DIGIC DV II HD processor is optimized for HD video, operating at 1440 x 1080 pixels with 4:2:2 color sampling. A hybrid noise reduction system uses dual processes to improve image clarity in monotone and shadow areas. Color reproduction is remarkably natural, especially in skin tone areas and with dark and light scenes. A hybrid noise reduction system employs dual processes to ensure brilliantly clear HD images. Genuine Canon Zoom Lens HD image quality starts with optics, and Canon professional HDV video cameras deliver the many benefits of Canon's worldrenowned lens technologies. Genuine Canon Professional L-series video cameralenses incorporate fluorite and ultra-low-dispersion elements, ensuring outstanding resolution contrast and color reproduction, and delivering a level of image quality throughout the entire zoom range far better than conventional optics. The standard 20x zoom covers an exceptionally wide and useful range of focal lengths, assuring wide versatility for a vast range of shooting applications. Native 16:9, 3CCD Performance A sophisticated 3CCD design employs separate native 16:9 sensors for each primary color. The high pixel count - approximately 1.67 million pixels (1440 x 1080) per sensor - ensures detailed HD capture (equal to about 800 TV lines of horizontal resolution). Color is rendered with exceptional accuracy and wide dynamic range and virtually no color noise. DIGIC DV II HD Image Processor Engineered and manufactured exclusively by Canon, specifically for HD, the advanced DIGIC DV II HD Image Processor uses proprietary algorithms and architectures to deliver optimal image quality at the blisteringly high operating speeds. SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization The 20x HD video zoom lens on Canon HDV video cameras incorporates proprietary Canon SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer technology, which further improves low-frequency vibration control by using two detection methods (gyro and vector). The image at the CCD sensor is analyzed, providing additional feedback to the prism for even greater compensation precision. The result is highly reliable camera shake correction, even at long focal lengths. Canon Interchangeable XL Lens Mount The XL H1S and XL H1A video cameras feature the XL mount system that offers the added range and flexibility of interchangeable lenses. For example, the optional Canon HD Video Lens 6x XL has a 3.4 to 20.4mm Wide- Angle Zoom range, which gives you an extensive range of focal lengths from 24.5 to 147mm (in equivalent 35mm full-frame film format terms). Extender XL 1.6x EF Adapter XL Professional Interface Capabilities The XL H1S and XH G1 camcorders are designed to meet interface requirements in a variety professional shooting and production environments: HD-SDI (SMPTE 299M) or SD-SDI (SMPTE 272M) output with 4:2:2 color sampling and embedded audio and time code greatly reduces cabling complexity. A Genlock input enables multi-camera synchronization in live-switched environments. A switchable SMPTE input/output port accommodates time 131 code requirements on the XH G1, while separate input and output terminals are available on the XL H1S. High-Speed Zoom Mode and Manual Iris Ring A High-Speed Zoom Mode provides superb response, enabling zoom speed control by how fast the zoom ring is rotated. The Manual Iris Ring enables fine, smooth adjustment in 1/8th-stop increments. The combination of the focus, zoom, and iris rings on the lens creates the same "feel" as on manual broadcast lenses - a design preferred by professional users. Unique Customization Features The unmatched customization capability built into Canon HDV video cameras make them exceptionally versatile and flexible. The customization features enable them to be precision-tailored for different environments, different users and different jobs. Numerous image adjustments, display options and custom function settings define the camera's performance and operating characteristics. Groups of these settings can be saved and exported to other Canon HDV video cameras using an SD memory card or Canon Console software. Organizations that use many cameras can take advantage of this feature to easily set up multiple units for uniform capture characteristics. High Definition HDV These video cameras combine industry-standard connections and terminals not only with a wide range of image control settings and options, but also the advanced Genuine Canon 20x HD L-series Video Zoom Lens III. They also feature an interchangeable lens mount compatible with 6 video lenses and Canon EF lenses. Both HD video cameras have added an even higher level of customization options and capabilities for demanding professionals. XL H1S High Definition HDV Smaller and light-weight, yet still maintaining superb Canon image quality, capability and performance that professionals require, these professional video cameras feature Genuine Canon 20x HD L-series Video Zoom Lenses, SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizers and DIGIC DV II HD Image processors to create outstanding 1080 HD resolution images with functionality, flexibility and reliability. XH G1S High Definition Flash Memory Camcorder The Canon VIXIA HF S21 records high definition video to a 64GB internal flash drive or directly to two removable SDHC memory cards. The Canon 1/2.6-inch 8.59-megapixel Full HD CMOS Image Sensor and Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor combine to provide stunning 1920 x 1080 resolution in gorgeous color. Dynamic SuperRange OIS with Power IS technology, 3.5-inch High Resolution Touch Panel LCD and Smart Auto all unite to provide superb image quality and simple functionality to make your video everything it can be.
