for Pricing
Canon continues to innovate and develop image acquisition
products for the most demanding professional. The Canon XF305 Professional Camcorder
features 50Mbps MPEG-2 4:2:2 recording to universally available Compact Flash (CF) cards
for unsurpassed image quality and efficient, robust workflow at an affordable price. It is
ideally suited to match the requirements of electronic newsgathering (ENG) crews,
independent filmmakers, documentary producers, event videographers and military
agencies.
Utilizing file-based MPEG-2 compression with an MXF File
Wrapper ensures the widest compatibility with existing industry infrastructure,
metadata and non-linear editing (NLE) systems. And 4:2:2 color sampling provides ultra-fine
transitions in tone and color for maintaining the highest quality image for use in advanced
post production.
A newly developed Genuine Canon 18x HD L-Series lens along with three Canon native 1920
x 1080 CMOS Image Sensors delivers pristine image quality.
Incorporating industry-standard HD-SDI output, genlock input and SMPTE time code
input/output terminals makes the Canon XF305 perfectly matched for live application and
multi-camera shooting.
The XF305 also offers multiple recording bit rates, resolutions and variable frame rates
to expand your creative flexibility, and allow you to work in virtually any production
environment. And complete customization over the image, display and operation makes the
XF305 a camcorder that can be tailored to fit your individual needs.

MPEG-2 4:2:2
50Mbps Codec (Canon XF Codec)
|
MPEG-2 compression is both
highly reliable and versatile.
Developed by the Moving Pictures
Expert Group (MPEG), it is one of
the most widely used compression
schemes in the industry for camera
acquisition, over the air
broadcast, cable and satellite TV.
Canon’s adaptation of MPEG-2 for
the XF305 Professional Camcorder,
named the Canon XF Codec, ensures
the widest compatibility with
existing industry infrastructure
and non-linear editing (NLE)
systems. As well, by using an MXF
file wrapper, video and audio can
be wrapped in a single file along
with important metadata.
The XF305 supports the highest HD
quality with Full HD 1920x1080
resolution, up to 50Mbps bit rate
and 4:2:2 color sampling.
4:2:2 color sampling provides twice
the color resolution of HDV and
other codecs that use 4:2:0 color
sampling. 4:2:2 provides ultra-fine
transitions in tone and color and
maintains the highest quality image
for use in post production
processes such as chroma keying,
color grading, advanced compositing
and effects.
The codec’s 50Mbps constant bit
rate provides the bandwidth needed
to capture the XF305’s superior
resolution and color in spectacular
detail.
