DESCRIPTION
Features:

  • 10-bit uncompressed SD/HD capture card
  • 12-bit HD analog component I/O
  • 12-bit SD analog component or composite/YC I/O
  • 10-bit hardware HD to SD downconversion
  • Native support for DPX, Cineon, TGA, TIFF, BMP, AVI and QuickTime files
  • SDI or HD-SDI input
  • 2 independent SDI/HD-SDI outputs
  • 2-channel balanced XLR AES and 2-channel balanced XLR analog audio I/O
  • 8-channel SDI embedded audio I/O
  • HD/SD Genlock
  • RS-422 machine control
  • AJA Machina software
  • AJA Plugin Support for Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, Adobe After Effects CS3/7.0, Photoshop CS3/CS2, Autodesk Combustion 4, and Eyeon Fusion 5.
  • XENA 3rd-party Support for Avid Liquid Chrome Xe (LHe only—LH not supported), Sony Vegas, and Sonic CineVision PSE.
  • Cables standard, KL-Box breakout optional
  • 3-year warranty
  • Available in PCIe as XENA LHe
  • Available in PCI/PCI-X compatible as XENA LH

XENA LH and LHe offer a full ride to HD with no-compromise, 10-bit and 8-bit uncompressed video, 2-channel AES and 8-channel embedded audio, analog composite/component video I/O, 2-channel analog audio I/O, 10-bit broadcast-quality hardware HD to SD downconversion and TBC on analog inputs. Either the XENA LHe or LH provides a bridge between the analog and digital worlds by offering I/O for both.

XENA LHe or LH come standard with a breakout cable and also works with the optional KL-Box for rackmounted I/O convenience. Supporting native 10-bit resolution, both cards provide optimum quality for SD and HD - the maximum allowed in SMPTE SDI standards. Using many user-selected formats - DPX, Cineon, TGA, TIFF, BMP, AVI or QuickTimeT - both capture directly to disk. In addition to top-quality video, the cards offer all the audio support you'll ever want: multi-channel audio and 16/24/32-bit AES/EBU digital audio at 48kHz for digital production. For ease of use, these cards also includes hardware sample-rate conversion on AES inputs, eliminating source synchronizing requirements.

As the only cards available supporting HD/SD analog I/O, they are perfect for many diverse workflows, including analog component connections from HDV cameras that allow direct ingest of HDV-acquired material into uncompressed or any other supported file format. These 12-bit analog inputs and outputs, in addition to 10-bit digital I/O's, ensure that cards can interface with almost any Single Link digital or analog HD or SD video format you throw at it.

Both card provide AJA's incredible 10-bit hardware HD to SD downconversion, which can be applied to any or all inputs or outputs. Digitize HD into space-efficient SD for offline work. Monitor HD files on an SD monitor. Make analog or digital SD tape masters from an HD project. Awesome workflow capabilities are yours with the XENA LH or LHe.

XENA LH is available in two flavors: for PCI/PCI-X compatibility as the XENA LH, and for 4-lane PCIe compatibility as the XENA LHe. Both cards are identical in features and in video and audio connections, and use the same optional KL-Box breakout box. Choose the card that best suits your workstation!
