Running on Windows XP and working under Adobe's Production Studio software, the XENA HS supports both SD and HD Serial Digital Video I/O for capture and playback. XENA HS has 1 SDI video input, 1 SDI video output, as well as support for six channels of AES audio I/0.
AES/EBU Audio Inputs And Outputs?15-pin D-connector
One female 15-pin D connector is provided for six channels of AES/EBU inputs and outputs. The connector attaches to a six-XLR breakout cable supplied with the XENA card module. XENA AES/EBU audio is 24 Bit/48Khz. All AES inputs support asynchronous audio at 32-96Khz.
Reference Input?BNC
This BNC connector allows you to synchronize outputs to your house reference video signal (or black burst). If you have a sync generator or central piece of video equipment to use for synchronizing other video equipment in your studio, then connect its composite output here. When XENA outputs video it uses this reference signal to lock to.
SDI Input and Output?2 BNCs (SD/HD)
These BNC connectors are for connecting serial digital video input and output devices (respectively). SD signals are 10-bit or 8-bit SMPTE-259. HD signals are 10-bit or 8-bit SMPTE-292. .
Note: For Visual Effects and Motion Graphics users needing the ultimate features for Adobe After Affects, Photoshop, Autodesk Combustion and Eyeon Fusion, there is no better solution than XENA LS or XENA LHe/LH.
