Composite/S-Video In & Out
The XL1s can be connected to any monitor by
a composite (RCA) cable or by an S-Video cable. The
same video terminals also accept video signals for
recording from external sources such as a TV, VCR or
another camcorder. The MA-200 adaptor has a BNC
connector for connection to professional equipment.
AV Insert and Audio Dubbing
Add a new scene into your video from another source
such as a camcorder or VCR. (Your video must be
recorded in SP mode.) You can also add a new stereo
audio track onto your video such as a voice over or
background music. (Your audio must be recorded in
the 12 bit mode.)
DV Control
You can control the record and pause of equipment that
conforms to the AV/C protocol connected to the XL1s
using the DV terminal. For example, record to a
miniDV tape and FireWire Hard drive simultaneously.
Time Code
This precisely identifies each recording down to the
individual frame, showing the hour, minute, second
and frame in the display. The XL1s uses a “drop-
frame” system that is frame accurate.
Data Code
Data code, which is recorded separately from the
video signal, lets you display or hide data such as
date, time, exposure etc. as required. This data can
also be permanently “burned in” over the video for
verification or surveillance purposes.
Index Recording
You can mark “the best take” when you are shooting,
for easy access when playing back in the VCR mode.
Ergonomics and Magnesium Body
The XL1s camcorder is designed to support extensive
field use. Its chassis is mounted on a single, durable
magnesium alloy frame to provide overall strength
and protection from external shock – blending
twenty times the durability of ordinary camcorder
bodies, with countless times the style. The layout and
design of the controls and functions makes the XL1s
ergonomically and practically a joy to use.
Top Grip with Recording Controls
In addition to the normal side grip, the XL1s features
a carrying handle complete with a duplicate set of
recording and zoom controls to better meet your
individual recording style, as well as being ideal for
low-angle recording.
