blackmagic hdmi card

[manglerBMX]

is anyone using this card yet? what some details with this? what codec is it captured in fcp with? i read you use the firewire for device control and capture through the hdmi. what are the filesizes like for hdmi? this card mostly seems interesting for doing playout to a hdmi monitor. but do you have to be using a hdmi timeline? being able to capture stuff with a 4:2:2 colorspace seems really sweet for keying. any comments?

EDIT: i read it does capture in dvcpro HD codec, sounds sweet so far.

We're looking at this card as a way to catpure our HDV field tapes as DVCPro HD for editing. We have a card in house, but we haven't had a chance to put it in a machine and kick the tires yet.
