Sound Devices PIX 240 - now includes 1:1 and false color

Looks like they've added zebras, false color exposure, focus-in-red, peaking, and magnified 1:1 focus assist, as well as a whole bunch of other features.

Didn't even realize until I got to the end of that video, but -- it allows you to record audio from the SDI (or HDMI) as well as from the XLRs! I don't think it used to be able to do that, did it? That means you can actually use it as a full four-channel XLR device now, plugging two channels into your camera (which will be embedded in the SDI feed out to the PIX) and two channels directly into the PIX...

All in a free firmware update. That's pretty cool!

You could also use the 2 XLR connectors as a 4-channel digital input, using a mixer which outputs 4-channel digital (such as their own 552 mixer).
And at the same time feed any or all the channels from the mixer mixed to 2 channels into the 2 XLR inputs of the the camera.
 
Looks like a great product. This really makes me sad about the 5DMKIII. I was all ready to get a PIX and match it with the HDMI output of the 5DMKIII. Oh well...
