Not sure if this should go here or in "Feature Requests"?
I did some testing this morning and I have confirmed that the HDMI trigger that starts recording on an external recorder, is not working.
I tried RAW_REC and MLV_REC with various different settings sound on/off etc resolution changes with no effect.
Im guessing that the ML code doesn't have the instruction in it to send the signal down HDMI to start/stop recoding.

Synced REC Trigger and Timecode
The Blade provides frame accurate timecode and start stop triggers over HDMI from many cameras, including Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Nikon, JVC, RED and ARRI. It also features LANC and rolling timecode trigger for those older cameras that don't have start stop flag protocols on board. The Blade additionally has tally lights to indicate start time.
This function works without ML running. It's a really good function as it provides instant frame accurate proxies in ProRes (with sound if hooked up correctly) to edit with and also frame accurate play back for anyone on set or even talent wanting to see how the last shot looked.
I realize that this may not be high priority, but if anyone has a moment this is a real kick ass feature, this massively speeds up post production and elevates functionality to that of a dedicated video camera with real time playback.
