What is the difference between the Zena HS and LH cards other than analog i/o?
Hi,
What is the difference between the Zena HS and LH cards other than the fact that the LH card has analog i/o and does not support PP 2.0?
Is it faster?
Does it have more features other than analog i/o?
Also, the fact that the LH card does not support PP 2.0 must be a licensing issue since it would not supprise me if the HS and LH cards are practically identical in hardware and software.

The differences between the two cards is certainly not just a simple licensing issue. The LH allows for saving and working with multiple formats at capture, this is specific to the needs of visual effects artists and motion graphics artists who are working with shots. The footage can be captured directly into a cineon sequence for example and used uncompressed.
The HS card used with premiere and only be used to capture with adobes HD codec and is for use with premiere for editing.
Depending on your needs each card has it’s strengths.

Hi,
Ok… then does any acceleration in PP2.0, other than from a faster cpu, come from this card or does it come from a gpu (display card)?

A soon-to-be released update to Prospect HD will allow the Xena LH/LHe to be used under Premiere Pro 2.0. The main issue being the driver version using by PPro2’s Xena support. A stock PPro2 uses only 5.2 drivers, when the LH requires 6.0 AJA drivers. Prospect HD under PPro2 can support either 5.2 or 6.0 AJA driver, so both cards are supported and accelerating through the CineForm Intermediate stuff. So the difference narrows and LH becomes a superset of the HS.
