XENA 2K/2Ke
	XENA 2Ks 4-lane PCI-Express bus interface plus our integrated AJA drivers team up perfectly with Windows XP and Adobe Premiere Pro to give you unparalleled power and efficiency. Supporting any uncompressed SD or HD format, including 2K and Dual Link, XENA 2K captures and plays back uncompressed 10-bit and 8-bit digital video and 24-bit 48kHz digital audio in standard definition (SMPTE 259M), high definition (SMPTE 292M), and Dual Link high definition (SMPTE 372M). Dual Link XENA 2K supports Dual Link 4:4:4 HD-SDI, a new technology. Commonly known as Sony HDCAM SR or Thompson Viper Format, XENA 2K Dual Link supports full bandwidth 4:4:4 RGB at 10-bits (12-bit capable) for 1080i, 1080p, and 720p formats. XENA 2K can also convert between 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 formats for Single Link HD-SDI output. 2K                                 The XENA 2K path offers significant cost and labor savings over a tape-based approach to 2K. In a unique development for customers on Windows XP, you can go straight from telecine to disk with 2K media, eliminating both the need for tape and the process of digitizing tapes for the nonlinear editor. 2K telecine to XENA 2K saves time and steps in the process by directly creating 2K DPX, QuickTimeT, Cineon, AVI, TGA, TIFF or BMP files. Material can be played out at 2K via High Speed Data Link (HSDL) at 15 fps, offering further synergy with other 2K products available and already in use in the market. Additionally, XENA 2K allows 2K files to be viewed on HD 1080 24P-supported video monitors, lowering the price barrier for recording to tape and viewing 2K material. This 1080 HD playout can also be downconverted to SD in realtime, giving the 2K DI pipeline a powerful solution for multi-format video playout of 2K material. Broadcast-Quality Conversion XENA 2K features full 10-bit, broadcast-quality, motion-adaptive SD to HD upconversion, HD to SD down-conversion, HD cross-conversion and automatic HD/SD 12-bit component analog output. All functionality is hardware-based, making it available full time, all the time, on digitize or playback. XENA 2K will address your needs with support for hardware-based 1080-to-720 or 720-to-1080 crossconversion. Audio XENA 2Ks extensive audio support makes installation a breeze, working with 8-channel 24-bit AES audio via XLR (balanced) connections, and 8-channel embedded 24-bit embedded SDI/HD-SDI audio. XENA 2K also features high-quality input sample-rate conversion on AES inputs, which eliminates the need for audio source synchronization. Flexible I/O XENA 2K boasts two HD/SD SDI video inputs and outputs and one component analog output, each independently switchable between HD and SD (SD analog can be configured as composite). For example, if you are working in HD, you can have simultaneous HDSDI, SDI, and HD or SD component analog output. Using XENA 2Ks full-time format conversion features, monitoring can be as simple as a single composite monitor for both SD and HD projects. Dual Link can be monitored via Dual Link HD-SDI outputs, Single Link HD-SDI, or HD component analog. When you plug in XENA 2Ks breakout cables, they automatically configure. For SDI video, the card features two HD/SD inputs and two outputs for Single or Dual Link, one connection for Genlock input, and three for HD/SD component analog video out. Also included is a 9-pin D-connector for RS-422 machine control. The SDI inputs and outputs use a separate cable with special mini-BNC connectors on one end and full-sized BNCs on the other for ease of connection and superior reliability.
