I've gotten quite a few questions about signal sensing with a BC4 GPIO. The BC4 Plugin now (starting with V 1.2.3) supports scripting functionality which will make this much easier and more flexible. This thread will hopefully get you going.
Connections:
The BC4 with a BCX-1 module installed (or other BCX module which contains GPIOs) has two external GPIO connections which can be configured (among other things) as an analog input. This means that you can connect an analog signal, such as line-level audio or composite video, directly into a BC4 GPIO, without the need for expensive additional sensors. You can use an otherwise un-used output from the source equipment, or you can use a "Y-Cable" to sense the signal. For further clarification, the physical connection is as simple as this:
