For PCIw buss

XENA LH offers 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. XENA LH bridges the analog and digital worlds by offering I/O for both.

XENA LH comes standard with a breakout cable and also works with the optional KL-Box for rackmounted I/O convenience. Supporting native 10-bit resolution, XENA LHe provides 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 - XENA LH captures directly to disk. In addition to top-quality video, XENA LH offers 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, XENA LH also includes hardware sample-rate conversion on AES inputs, eliminating source synchronizing requirements.

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. 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!
