I'm running some software on a late 2014 model mac mini and am encountering a very curious issue with it. It would appear that running a minidisplay port to VGA adapter out to a VGA monitor with one thunderbolt port and running a thunderbolt SSD w/a Blackmagic Intensity with the other port results in the live camera feed ceasing to work once the piece gets going. I'm wondering if there are other people who have run into or are running into issues with this. It appears that if I swap out the monitor from mini-display/thunderbolt to VGA and use the HDMI output that things run normally and without issue.

Upon further analysis and testing a variety of different things it would appear to be an issue in using the jit.net.send/receive objects to pass the video signal from the camera patch to the patch that displays the camera feed. Curiously, this issue occurs only with a thunderbolt/mini-display port to VGA adapter and does not occur if using an HDMI output. Still doesn't solve my issue, but, there you have it.
