Canon Software Kit for the XL2 Mini-DV Camcorder : Canon today released an XL2 Software Developers Kit (SDK) that further enhances the camcorder's flexibility and takes the open architecture of the XL2 Mini-DV camcorder to a new level. Filmmakers, broadcasters, and videographers can now create applications to remotely control all camera functions to meet the needs of individuals and specific industries. By using a FireWire connection, users are able to control all of the XL2 camcorder's advanced functions, inside and out. Some examples include: switching frame rates or adjusting color gain and white balance controls. The software developers kit is free to use.
