The AJA XENA-LS PCI-X Card offers a great solution for SD capture and playback, AJA-quality standard definition video capture and playback isn't just for the big guys. The affordably priced XENA-LS is the perfect engine for capturing, playback, and printing video for visual effects/motion graphics. Now, with XENA-LS, everyone can enjoy the features, rocksolid video/audio, and factory support that exemplify all AJA products.

Flexibility
With XENA-LS, you can record data directly from SD decks, telecines, and film scanners into any of the following file formats: 10-bit DPX and Cineon, 8-bit TGA, TIFF, and BMP, 8/10-bit AVI and Quicktime. Flexible capture options, including "crash" capture and in/out/duration logging, allow you to save to disks single clips with full timecode support in quicktime and DPX. Got Audio? Up to 6 audio tracks of 16/24/32-bit embedded digital audio or 2-ch AES/EBU and analog support as well on the XENA-LS card. Audio files can be mono or stereo, Quicktime or WAV.
Capture Made Pefect
Designed for Windows XP, XENA-LS allows you to capture perfect SD data from a variety of sources (digital and analog SD decks, etc) into a format on disk that fits your post-production workflow. For example, if your whole post-production pipeline is based on a file-per-frame format such as DPX, then you can capture film/video data directly as sequential DPX files instead of having to write an AVI/QT file and then render to DPX files. File-per-frame workflows are no problem for XENA-LS, with or without audio.
Powerful Plug-Ins
Not only does AJA's XENA-LS provide powerful capture and playback features in Machina, but it integrates them into a variety of graphics/visual effects software applications to make operations even easier. Using plug-ins, sophisticated XENA-LS features appear as if they were native to the software application user interfaces.
AJA Machina Software
XENA-LS also provides its own stand-alone powerful capture/playback application, AJA Machina, that includes full VTR machine control. Access to any and all XENA-LS supported file formats, video standards, and video conversions are all there, in a very cool and easy to use interface. These captured files can then be imported into virtually any software package that supports these file formats, such as 3D animation programs, audio editing programs and much more. With Machina, you can also accurately output to tape files exported from these same programs.
Software Support
You probably already know about AJA's reputation for broadcast quality hardware excellence. Well, the new XENA-LS card also offers incredible software inside: Windows XP drivers optimized for AJA's hardware, written and supported by AJA, powerful plug-ins for use with many 3rd-party graphics and video applications, and the AJA XENA Machina application that simplifies direct VTR capture/playback with A/V control in a stand-alone mode.
