XENA LHi I/O

The XENA LHi comes standard with a breakout cable, and also works with the optional
KLHi-Box for rackmounted I/O convenience. It offers multi-channel audio and 16/24/32-bit
AES/EBU digital audio at 48 kHz for digital production. By including hardware sample-rate
conversion on AES inputs,XENA LHi eliminates source synchronizing requirements.

Supporting Digital SD/HD and Analog SD/HD I/O, XENA LHi fits many diverse workflows
including analog component connections from HDV cameras providing direct ingest of
HDV-acquired material into uncompressed or any other supported file format. These 12-bit
analog inputs and outputs, and 10-bit digital I/Os, ensure that XENA LHi can interface to
almost any SDI or analog device.

XENA LHi is a 4-lane PCI-express bus card that provides HDMI in/out and has 1 SDI/HD
input and 1 SDI/HD output. HDMI input and output, effectively allows use of inexpensive
but high-quality HD camcorders for input and HDMI monitors for low-cost HD program
monitoring.

HD/SD Conversion

XENA LHi also provides 10-bit hardware HD-to-SD up-, down-, or cross-conversion that can
be applied to any or all inputs or outputs. Digitize HD into space-efficient SD for off-line
work. Monitor HD files on an SD monitor. Make analog or digital SD tape masters from an
HD project.

XENA Software

XENA software consists of XENA application software (Machina™), XENA driver software,
and XENA plug-in software for 3rd-party applications. This suite of software allows XENA
to work in a variety of workflows. The plug-ins provide tightly integrated XENA source
selection and control within 3rd-party applications. XENA software provides direct support
for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe After Effects CS4, Adobe Photoshop CS4, Autodesk
Combustion 4, and Eyeon Fusion 5 (application software not included).

With a Windows workstation, and XENA, you have a high-quality cost-effective system for
standard definition, high definition, digital and analog video production workflows (features
vary with each model).

Software is supplied on CD, including:

• AJA’s Machina Capture/Playback application
• Drivers for the card itself
• All files necessary for interfacing with third-party software applications
