Why does the BM Extreme card not see the footage at different rates? I have a JVC monitor which sees the footage just fine.
If you're running the 1.3 firmware or later, the camera only outputs 1920 x 1080i50 or 1920 x 1080i59.94 when overlays are turned off. These are your only options.

If you're using Media Express - unfortunately timecode from the camera is not read by the software.

Your original plan of using the SDI output of the camera makes the most sense. Timecode is embedded in the SDI feed. If you're shooting 25fps, then the camera will output 1080i50 - otherwise it will output 1080i59.94.
