Sorry, that post above is slightly incorrect.
The “Trillions of Colors” should be set in the AE output module settings, not in the Xena output module settings.

Chris,
You should setup a 16-bit project within AE and import the 16-bit Tif files into it

This way Xena users can capture and output without Premiere Pro. Some users doing animation or compositing work may not be doing any work in Premiere. This way they dont have to own a license of Premiere Pro in order to use the Xena capture and playback functionality.

Ben,
We are not going to be supporting audio + video in the same file for any file type other than Quicktime.
The only workaround would be to use Quicktime files if audio+video in one file is a requirement of yours.

Hoekem,
It sounds like what you are seeing in Machina is not a glitch, but actually the expected behavior in Machina. The default display option for playback in Machina is for video only to be displayed during scrubbing. You can change this in the Play settings by changing the ‘display to desktop’
setting to ‘Always’.AJA Xena Support

Hoekem,
You say ‘some random clips…have dropped audio’. Does this mean some clips are working and others are not? What happens if you play those clips out in Machina? Also what file format are you capturing?
One common audio troublshooting step is to reinstall Quicktime using the Quicktime+Itunes package downloadable from Apple. For some reason the ‘quicktime only’ install sometimes seems to install incorrectly and cause problems for some Xena users.

Jamski,
There is a setting in the ‘AJA Preview’ settings called ‘Preview During Render’ that defaults to off. Go to the ‘Window’ menu and select ‘AJA Preview’ an check the ‘Preview During Render’ button. It defaults to off under the assumption that it is more important to use computer resources for rendering, and the preview becomes more important AFTER the render is complete. However the option is there for you to change it to suit your needs.

Jamski,
Likely your problem has to do with your output setup. What you’ll want to do in the Premier Playback settings is to set the Primary format to match the actual size and framerate of your source footage. Then set the secondary format to NTSC. Once you have done this, you can choose either Primary or secondary formats as your SDI or Analog Outputs.
Example Settings:
Primary Format: 1080i 29.97
Secondary Format: NTSC
SDI 1 Output: Secondary
Analog Output: Component SMPTE (SD)Hope this helps!

There is a somewhat complex answer to this, but I will basically simplify it:
1) Not all the RGB features of the LH are supported by the LS, so there may be some issues going from LH to LS if you are working in RGB. You shouldnt have the same issues going from LS to LH, or if you are working in YUV.
2) LUT support: the LH has some hardware based color correction features that dont exist on the LS. In Premiere Pro these features are exposed as some RT color effects. The problem here would just be that with the LH these effects will be RT, and with the LS they will not.
3) Playback settings will have to be reset when you move a project from one card to the other. This is as simple as opening the normal Premiere Playback settings dialog and resetting the playback resolution and framerate.
The rest of your proposed workflow should work ok. Ideally it would be better to have two LH’s, but you will be able to use the project with both cards.

If you are using v210(10-bit YUV422) files then they should be able to open fine. I believe BlueFish has their own 8-bit YUV packing scheme(at least they used to). The only other thing I can think of – is if BlueFish didn’t put the scan type (progressive, interlaced) in the QuickTime Header then we default that it’s a progressive file.
The files (at least SD) are fine to go back and forth with LH<->LS with two
exception: 1. 24-bit RGB/BGR is not supported on LS 2. ‘R10k’ or ‘R10g’ for QT and AVI as well as DPX/Cineom is not supported on LS.We dont actually know if a Bluefish Premeire Pro Project will work inside a Xena project. It might, but we havent tested that here.
