XL-2 1/3-Inch 3-CCD Widescreen MiniDV Camcorder with 24P

Mfr# 9549A001 | B&H# CAXL2

The Canon XL 2 is the upgraded replacement model of the ground breaking XL 1 camera. It is still the only prosumer camcorder to offer an interchangeable lens system. The Canon offers many features that until recently were only available on professional camera systems. Functions like 16:9 aspect ratio, scan-matching, professional time code and custom picture looks were available only on cameras costing many times the price of the XL 2. This camera also has 30 -frame and 24-frame interlaced and progressive modes. The addition of 24-frame is the most significant technology advance in the prosumer camcorder bag of tricks.

*Canon has recently removed a film-look feature that was included in the initial batch of camcorders. The model currently available is now without a Cine feature called Film Grain. This digital function simulated the look of certain film stocks through the addition of a grain effect. The camera we sell here at B&H no longer has this feature.

• 16:9 Aspect Widescreen Recording
Almost unique at the prosumer level, the Canon XL 2 shoots in a true 16:9 ratio without artificial letter-boxing or vertically squeezing a 4:3 image. This camera uses a CCD block with 680,000 total pixels per chip. In 4:3 mode the chip crops the left and right sides resulting in the conventional ratio with 350,000 used pixels per CCD. In 16:9 mode the chip is used at full width resulting in a true 16:9 image utilizing some 460,000 pixels per chip.
• Progressive and Interlaced Interpolation
The Canon XL 2 offers 3 different shooting modes for specific image looks. The camera offers both interlaced and progressive interpolation modes that include both 30 and 24-frame options.
• The Luxury of Canon Lenses
Canon is unique in offering an interchangeable lens system. The XL 2 comes standard with a 20x zoom lens with an optical image stabilization system. The anti-shake system becomes especially important as greater zoom length is used. Highly advanced glass technology and lens coatings are meant to increase resolution and reduce intra-lens reflections. The standard XL 1 series lenses can also be fitted to this camera.
• Creative Image Parameter Features
To add custom or film-like image control, the XL 2 offers a wide range of video parameters that can be used to achieve your cinematic vision. Because different film stocks offer individual image reproduction qualities, this digital camera gives a great amount of control over color, contrast, detail and grain parameters.

    Anton Bauer

    DIONIC-90 Lithium-Ion Battery

    Mfr# DIONIC 90 | B&H# AND90

    The Anton Bauer Dionic 90 is a Lithium-Ion chemistry battery for professional videographers. Weighing less than 2 pounds, the battery is compatible with existing Anton Bauer Interactive2000 PowerChargers and the Titan series chargers. It will run a typical 25-watt camcorder for over 3 hours.

    • Real Time Display
    The Dionic 90 Battery automatically detects the camera load and calculates the battery's run-time based upon existing operating conditions. When the camera is subjected to a change in power requirements, the camera's battery indicator will reflect the changed battery run time.
    • Compatibility
    Dionic offers complete compatibility with PowerChargers already in the field (may require software chip update) and the Titan series.
    • Cell Chemistry
    Dionic contains an exclusive cell configuration unlike any other video battery. Instead of using cells originally designed for lighter duty applications, such as computers, this battery is constructed with specialized lithium-ion cells originally designed for high rate military applications.

    Tandem-70 On-Camera AC Power/Charger

    Mfr# TANDEM70 | B&H# ANT70

    Anton Bauer's Tandem-70 offers a new approach to portable power. It combines all the functionality of a one position InterActive® charger with the convenience of a noise free camera mounted wide range AC Mains Adapter. The Tandem-70 will power even the most power hungry high definition camera from any worldwide AC source. It also doubles as a full function InterActive Charger charging any Anton Bauer Gold Mount battery in two hours or less. Weighing only one pound (450g) the Tandem-70 is the perfect addition to any field camera as a lightweight mains adapter and/or as a high performance charger. Meets all applicable regulatory requirements including CE and FCC.

    • Battery Charger
    As with all Anton Bauer chargers, charging with the Tandem-70 is fully automatic. Mount any Logic Series battery to the Tandem-70 and it will automatically determine the appropriate charge routine and execute it.
    The Tandem-70 will charge any Anton Bauer Logic Series Gold Mount battery including:
  • ProPac 14
  • Digital ProPac 14
  • TrimPac 14
  • Digital Trimpac
  • Hytron 50/100/140
  • Dionic 90/160
    • • InterActive
    The Tandem-70 incorporates the exclusive InterActive communication between the battery and charger, which allows the charger to identify any Anton Bauer battery attached and determine the precise charge routine for that particular battery under its present condition.
    • Three Stage Charging
    In general, the Tandem-70 utilizes a Three-Stage Charge Routine for each battery.
    • DC Power Supply
    The Tandem-70 will automatically operate as an AC adapter once the camera or other device is switched on. An On/Off switch is not incorporated into the power supply (a green LED will light, indicating that the unit is operating as a power supply).
    • Automatic Source Selection
    If the AC line voltage is removed, and a charged battery is mounted on the Tandem-70, power from the battery will be routed to the camera. When the AC line voltage is restored, the battery is reevaluated for a proper charge routine.

    Note! This is just the mount and requires an Anton Bauer battery for camera operation

    • Versatility

    • Worldwide Acceptance
    The Gold Mount is offered as original equipment (OEM) by virtually every major video manufacturer.
