Does this offer camera control for the BMPCC6K (start/stop/change settings) ?
The Blackmagic Video Assist monitor will not have camera controls.
However, a monitor that will allow you to have camera control for the BMPCC6K is the Portkeys BM5 5.2" monitor, which can be found here: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1500699-REG/portkeys_pkbm5_b_5_2_2000_nit_touch.html/overview

Why not implement CAMERA CONTROLs like the Portkey LCD... so that Blackmagic users can start controlling their cameras the way RED users control theirs?
At this time, Blackmagic has not specified if the monitor will control a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, although, this may be possible through an HDMI connection. Once this new monitor is released, we should have more information on this.

Provided I use a composite to SDI adapter, will the BMDVA record standard def video without any need to upconvert the video prior to being plugged into the monitor? I would like to record video from a variety of old consumer video cameras. I'm hoping this is a viable solution.
It is possible once converted to SDI to record on the video assist. The conversion must conform to 525 SDI supported standards. Keep in mind some consumer cameras may not output a broadcast standard signal which may not be accepted by the Video Assist. Also, for cameras that play back internal recordings, it may be necessary to have a time base corrector before conversion in order to stabilize the signal.
