Capturing and monitoring HDMI

[Craigy]

I'm shortly getting a Black Magic Pocket Cinema camera and was wondering if there was a good way in the field to use my macbook pro to act as a external HDMI monitor from the camera, with scopes if possible and also to capture the 10bit 4:2:0 from the camera instead of recording to the SD card.

Anyone got any experience of doing this?

Thanks

EDIT:

You can purchase HDMI recorders / capturers. I myself use the Elgato Game Capture HD for my articles. Working great - but it's 8bit 4:2:0 H.264 (no Prores) only. Somewhat more expensive (around $300 - see http://www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-De...ayback/dp/B007CYJ4WM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top ) is Intensity Extreme from Backmagic (see berndkiltz's post), which also allows for 10-bit ProRes recording at 4:2:2.

When used as a plain monitor (unless you need it for the Full HD resolution / physical size, which is significantly larger than that of most external HDMI monitors), using such a consumer HDMI capturer + MBP combo would be a huge overkill.

I think a filed monitor would be overkill... U know they are not cheap! Geht the Intensity Extreme from Backmagic, and you have your macbook monitor + Capture Device for around 200 Bucks.

I have the intensity pro in my macpro (pcie) and love it.
