Designed for freedom.
The popularity of the XL2's predecessor, the XL1s, was in large part due to
its 'open architecture' skeletal design. The XL2 started with the same design
philosophy and added improvements to create a completely modular video
camera package to suit your needs. For maximum strength and portability,
it is constructed from a high-tolerance impact-resistant magnesium alloy
frame with a built-in shoulder support and distinctive pearl white finish.
LCD / FULLY ADJUSTABLE
VIEWFINDER
The XL2's viewfinder (EVF) is fully
adjustable (left, right, forwards and
backwards) with a 200,000 pixel, 2" LCD
that displays 86% of the shooting scene.
This high-resolution screen can be
adapted to view Pro-Quality 16:9
(shown in letterbox format on the EVF).
The EVF also features three indicator
lights – Rec, Shutter and Gain – to
deliver instant feedback on every shot.
The LCD meanwhile, is also fully
adjustable for brightness, colour
darkness, sharpness and contrast.
LCD SIDE DIAL DISPLAY
Another feature carried over from the
XL1s is the distinctive LCD side dial. With
its audio level meter integrated into the
inner dial display, it is perfectly situated
for the easy monitoring of audio levels
during filming.
LATERAL / HORIZONTAL
VIEWFINDER MOVEMENT
The XL2 is comfortable for
anybody to use. It is easily
modified for different usage
setups and maintains the
same popular built-in shoulder
support, underneath the tilted
rear body, as its predecessor.
Video can be monitored directly
on the 2" LCD by flipping back the
fully adjustable viewfinder (EVF).
PROFESSIONAL CONNECTIVITY
The XL2 has two built-in XLR ports that
enable high-performance microphones to
be connected directly to the video camera
(as well as offering phantom power
capability). It also comes with a BNC
jack and an S-Video jack as standard.
The BNC jack allows for a co-axial cable
connection direct to a monitor, so you
can check the complete image set-up
and composition, while the S-Video jack
is for output to conventional TV sets.
