MANUAL
The XL2 features many more ways to control your
FUNCTIONS
images manually, eliminating the need for much of the
expensive and time consuming post-production process
required by many professional video camera users.

INDEPENDENT R / G / B GAIN
This completely new feature allows
you to independently adjust the white
balance of the three primary colours.
Red Gain can be tweaked from red
to cyan, Green Gain from green to
magenta and Blue Gain from blue to
yellow. Adjustments made in-camera
eliminate the need for significant post-
production work.
MASTER PEDESTAL
The Master Pedestal of black serves as
the video reference. You can now adjust
the contrast in your images in-camera.
GAIN CONTROL
Adjust the sensitivity of each of the
three CCDs from –3dB to +18dB in
up to seven different steps.
SETUP LEVEL
The Setup Level function allows you
to set the dynamic range of the picture
that subsequently permits black-level
adjustment of the video signal. This
ultimately gives you the best shadow
detail in any shooting situation and
ensures proper focus, exposure and
white balance.
SKIN DETAIL
Adjust five different values – Hue, Chroma,
Area, Y-level and Detail Adjustment
– independently or using the factory
presets. Together, these allow you to
detect skin areas and adjust their tones.
This is useful in order to counteract or
magnify the effects of lighting, skin colour,
skin vibrancy and environment. With the
XL2's detailed selection process none
of the other areas will be affected – only
the skin tones are adjusted.
Hue:
This determines the hue of the
detected skin colour area, from reddish
to greenish – useful for selecting skin
colours under fluorescent lights, at
dusk or any other shooting conditions
with different colour temperatures.
The detected skin area is shown with
a zebra pattern.
Chroma:
This is used to determine
the chroma saturation of the detected
skin colour area that is essential for
distinguishing between vibrant and
pale skin colours. Once again the
detected skin area is shown with a
zebra pattern.
Area:
The Area function adjusts the
width of the detected skin colour's
chroma from bright to dark. This is
particularly useful for discerning
between many similar
skin colours.
Y - level:
Y-level adjusts the brightness
of the detected skin colour. This is
used for distinguishing brighter skin
colours from darker ones.
Detail Adjustment:
This function
softens the detected skin colour
area. The available options are Off,
Low, Normal and High. When Off is
selected, no detail adjustment is made.
When any of the other options are
selected, a different degree of softness
is applied to skin colour areas.
