XF 105
The XF 100 series offers outstanding image quality
in a compact, creative and versatile package, thanks to a
broadcast-standard codec.
- Double slot recording (CF Cards)
- Multi recording modes and frame rates
- Waveform monitor
Canon MPEG-2 4:2:2 Codec 50Mbps
Equipped with MPEG-2 compression, XF 105
uses Canon’s XF Codec ensuring the widest compatibility with existing
industry infrastructure and non-linear editing (NLE) systems. XF 105
comes with Full HD 1920 x 1080 Resolution, 50Mbps bit rate and 4:2:2
colour sampling. 4:2:2 provides Ultra-fine transitions in tone, colour
and maintains the highest quality image. Colour sampling provides twice
the colour resolution of HDV and other Codecs using 4:2:0 colour
sampling. The Codec‘s 50Mbps bit rate provides bandwidth needed to
capture the XF 105 superior resolution and colour in spectacular detail.
3D shooting capable
XF 105 has the ability to be paired with
another XF 105 camcorder unit to provide true stereoscopic 3D recording.
XF 105 has several features to assist with 3D production, including OIS
Lens Shift to aid in optically aligning the two XF 105 cameras and a
Focal length Guide for displaying the zoom position of each camera in
relation to each other and also to calibrate the zoom distance. XF 105
also features a 3D capable GENLOCK for syncing the camcorders hence
providing an alternative to large 3D rigs which enables one to work more
quickly and efficiently.
Infrared shooting
The XF 105 provides an infrared shooting
mode for shooting in conditions with little to zero ambient light. With
Infrared Mode ‘on’ the infrared cut-off filter is retracted from the
optical path and infrared light is allowed to pass through to the
sensor. XF 105 also features an infrared emitter with a diffuser to
shoot pleasing infrared imagery even in complete darkness.
