Industry Standard HD-SDI Output, Genlock & SMPTE Time Code and Other Terminals
Aside from providing the professional user with complete control over the image, the Canon XF105 Professional Camcorder also provides complete creative freedom when it comes to inputs and outputs. It features industry standard HD-SDI output and a genlock/time code terminal (BNC style), making it ideally suited for multi-camera or 3D productions.
HD-SDI & SD-SDI Output
The HD-SDI output provides an uncompressed, 1.485 Gbps signal at 1920x1080 resolution with 4:2:2 color sampling and embedded audio and time code.
HD-SDI
Video Standard: SMPTE 292M (1080i) /SMPTE 296M (720p)
Embedded Audio Standard: SMPTE 299M
Time code Standard: SMPTE 12M
SD-SDI

Genlock Input / SMPTE Time Code Input/Output Terminal
This terminal can be switched by the user to serve as a genlock or a Time Code terminal.
Genlock input enables synchronization of a multi-camera, live-switched production environment in the studio or on location. When shooting HD, it can accept either an SD (blackburst) or HD (tri-level) sync signal.
This terminal can also be used to share SMPTE time code with an external device (such as a DAT recorder) or from camera to camera.

Wonderful Camera!
I shoot with higher-end (Super 35 sensor) cameras. We needed something smaller, easier, more mobile for a specific project. We chose this camera mostly due to the 50Mbps 4:2:2 codec.
It performs flawlessly, produces wonderful images, and is a great companion to our bigger cameras. We used to shoot B-roll with DSLR, but find this to be a better solution for most of our needs due to: real audio inputs, better codec, zoom, scopes, focus-assist (peaking), zebras, etc.
You can't go wrong with this camera for 90% of uses.

XF-105
Recently we purchased the Canon XF 105 to shot a commercial overseas. The camera's size was ideal for the trip. Overall the camera worked well. There was an instant where the memory card stopped in the middle of a live recording so we lost a valuable speech. To work out the error was easy, but we are worried about this happening again.
We do like the camera and are still learning it and using the camera. Stay tuned.
