Professional HDV Camcorders
The compact XH-A1s and XH-G1s encapsulate a wealth of features in a
compact, 3-CCD camcorder that captures true 1080i high-definition video at
frame rates of 60i, 30F and 24F. A genuine Canon L-series 20x HD zoom lens
ensures outstanding resolution and color reproduction. its wide-angle view
equivalent to 32.5mm on a 35mm camera. Behind the lens are three
1/3” native 16:9 CCD’s (1440 x 1080 each) delivering superior picture
quality and a wide dynamic range with virtually no color noise.
Whether shooting handheld, from a moving car, or on a swaying
bridge, Canon’s super-range OIS combines gyro- and image
sensors to keep your picture steady.
DIGIC DV II technology processes the HDV signal with 4:2:2 color
sampling, ensuring optimal color reproduction in skin tones and in
high-contrast scenes. For more precise image control there are 7 Pro-
gram AE modes and nine custom presets, to adjust hue, gain, sharpness,
setup level, and Cine gamma settings for exactly the image you need. Then save the settings
on an SD memory card for future use.
For the critical focus required of HD recording, Canon’s Instant AF uses two sensors to provide fast and accurate focus, even in low light.
Other features include an analog-digital converter, built-in XLR inputs with external leveling, a 2.8” widescreen LCD (207K pixels), and two
built-in ND filters.
Audio capabilities include two-channel audio performance; two built-in XLR terminals with separate audio-input sensitivity settings; the
ability to simultaneously record sound from the supplied internal microphone and an external microphone; line output level switching; an
audio (manual) limiter and a new metal headphone jack for reliable connectivity. The result is better overall flexibility and control of the
camera by enabling the use of one cameraman to do the job of many.

Adds Professional Jack Pack, which offers HD-SDI and SD-SDI output, embedded timecode and audio, SMPTE timecode I/O, and Genlock
