In keeping with Canon's Open Architecture approach, CONSOLE Image Control & Storage Software delivers flexibility and versatility. It makes the XL H1, XH G1 and XH A1 HD camcorders even more powerful tools for the professional videographer. Also, keep up to date with free upgrades. Canon's CONSOLE software lets you control key functions of your XL H1, XH G1 or XH A1 remotely through your PC - for set-ups where the camera might be mounted on a crane, in another studio, or in an inaccessible or dangerous location. Commands and responses are exchanged between the camcorder and a PC through a single IEEE1394 cable. CONSOLE software lets you control gamma, master pedestal, color phase, custom presets and AE metering. The interface even includes a wave form and vector display for measuring and adjusting video and phase parameters. The software also allows you to control your camcorders' zoom, focus, white balance, shooting mode and frame rate, as well as its iris and shutter speed. Even the still image capture function of the camcorder can be operated remotely through CONSOLE. Each control function is displayed in a separate on-screen window, allowing you to customize the size and position of the displays to best meet your needs. With the additional compatibility of the XH G1 and XH A1 the software newly supports AE Shift ± 1.25, Gain +36 dB, and Pre-set shift function of white balance. Console Software v1.1 also includes new features found on the XH A1 and G1 including Color Correction, Skin Detail, and Sky Detail. In addition, most functions of CONSOLE software are compatible with Canon's XL2 digital camcorder.
