Hi!
I'm using the Ultrascope software over the thunderbolt port with the BMCC. I don't necessarily recommend using the Ultrascope (bmcc thunderbolt edition) simultaneously with the livegrade because the scopes will not reflect your grades from LiveGrade when doing this - but just more I was showing off that the scopes work and you could examine the signal coming from the camera when doing that if you choose to. Lots of cables dangling off the cam.
Might be interesting if the cam can take a thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter that would allow camera control over that port, as well as some signal feedback...I'm just theorizing here.
Thunderbolt cables are very expensive right now, so destroying one would suck on set whereas ethernet is cheap.
All in all it's a poor-man's Technicolor DP-Lights or TrueLight OnSet.
