Recording High Definition Video (HDV) to tape, both models share a 1/3” 1.67 Megapixel 3CCD system, for superb HD 1080i image capture. In addition, the XL H1S features Canon’s Professional Jackpack: a full suite of studio standard connections comprising HD-SDI output – for uncompressed 1920x1080 HD video – Gen lock input and Time code input/output for multi-camera shoots. Building on the feature set of its predecessor model, the XL H1, the HD-SDI output of the XL H1S now incorporates embedded audio and Time code data. Replacing the XL H1, both new camcorders have been constructed using the feedback of professional cameraman from around the world. Key refinements over the XL H1 include a new 20x L-series Video Lens, incorporating three separate focus, zoom and iris control rings. Conveniently mounted on the lens body, each can be operated simultaneously, allowing focus to be pulled while zooming, for instance. Sensitivity of the zoom ring is also customisable. Two-channel XLR audio recording now features independent limiters and auto/manual settings, allowing complete control over sound recording. “Through continued interaction and consultation with professional camera operators, our Research and Development teams have ensured that the new XL H1S and XL H1A deliver what their workflows require,” said Karel Poortman, European Pro Video Specialist. “With total freedom to customise imaging settings and controls, these new models bring a distinct personality to the Canon range, offering complete creative freedom.” The XL H1S and XL H1A: - Professional quality 1080i HD output (50i, 25F)
