They used the PAL version which has 576 lines in interlaced mode but they used a hybrid progressive scan format (shot in 25P) and the actual resolution wasĤ32 lines (576/2 X 1.5) because of how the CCD chip captures the image. I was VERY close to getting one but wound up settling for the Sony VX2000 back when I shot industrials, weddings, bands etc. Actuallt the Canon XL1 was a pro-sumer camera.
