As the only card available supporting HD/SD analog I/O, XENA LH is 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 XENA LH can interface with almost any Single Link digital or analog HD or SD video format you throw at it.
XENA LH also provides 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 XENA LH.
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.
