  RE: OT: New GoPro 3+ Sees Red
  Does it actually matter? The use of the ProTune mode suggests you are going to grade the material anyway. Try looking at the output of the Blackmagic Pocket camera in RAW mode, it is nearly monochrome.

  RE: IBM Motion JPEG
  Another free motion JPEG add on is the blackmagic software. You can just install the software even if you do not have a device. Vegas see this and the software does not time out or look for hardware. Just a thought.

  Blackmagic thunderbolt with Vegas
  Has anyone used a BM intensity I/O box with Vegas? My new mobo (asus Z87) has a thunderbolt port that I would like to use for monitoring and very rare importing of video. I don't want to spend 4 times as much for an AJA box. Thanks
