I updated my firmware and the Blackmagic Intensity card still doesn't recognize the BR-HD50, Anyone have any luck?

It has recently come to light that a firmware upgrade to the Blackmagic card may be required as well. The instructions page now has a note about this. http://pro.jvc.com/pro/attributes/HD...8_upgrade.html

Please contact the manufacture of the card to get the latest formware.

What else does the firmware upgrade do?

Is HDCP updates all?

Does it fix the PAL DV playback option that doesn't work on my deck?
