AJA Video, a manufacturer of professional video interface and conversion technology, announced that Adobe has implemented native support within Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 for AJA's XENA HS real-time HD-SDI/SDI I/O card as part of the new Adobe Production Studio.

AJA has also announced joint development with Adobe to deliver HD certified turnkey solutions as part of the Adobe OpenHD alliance. The AJA real time HD/SD solution provides Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 customers with native full-resolution capture, editing and playback in HD/SD. XENA HS support is among the new features in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and allows post-production editors, videographers, and multimedia creative professionals to input and output high-speed, uncompressed SD or HD digital audio/video under full control of the software application for integrated capture, playback and print to tape.

In addition, AJA's own plug-ins let users also preview and export within Adobe Photoshop CS2, and preview material within Adobe After Effects 7.0. XENA HS provides high-speed, uncompressed digital audio/video input/output for Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. Users of Adobe After Effects 7.0 and Adobe Photoshop CS2 can link video preview output seamlessly from the applications using AJA's custom-coded plug-ins and software.

XENA HS is available now through AJA's worldwide channel of dealers and system integrators for a suggested retail price of US $990.
