I was just impressed that it is basically a full Baselight inside of Avid, it's not hobbled in any way, and even on the demo machine which only had an older K4000 gpu everything was still in real time on the Avid timeline. Martin (Tlaskal) who was demoing it said that it is "scary fast" on a new mac pro with 2 x D700s.
The macro is as simple as mapping FF and RW to F5 and F6 and hitting them drops out of the current shot in Baselight, moves to the next clip in the Avid timeline and then reopens Baselight, it took no time at all. There was no exporting of media at all, it's just metadata in the form of an AAF or a .BLG file, so the full grade can be contained in that AAF (including all tracking, keyframes, shapes etc) and there was no exporting out new MXFs, it just updated in the timeline. It felt a lot more like I've seen the Adobe apps interact with eachother. Apparently they're working on a plugin for Premiere next.
I had also heard a while back that there was no real time monitoring to a client monitor whilst grading, that it all had to be done within the interface but that was not the case, the Baselight plugin takes control of the i/o from Avid when it's working and gives it back when it's not apparently.
And as you can copy the effect, say you have a last minute shot to drop in, normally you have to go back to grade, do the shot, render it out then drop it back in your online, now you can just copy the effect to the new shot and have your grade. Such a timesaver!

Baselight plug-in is a great addition to Media Composer/Symphony.
For me it's the power of Resolve without the round-tripping. (Various Primary & Secondary Grading options, keying and masking options to grade inside/outside & powerful tracking for masks)
They've got neat macro to step between graded shots, so it is not so much slower than grading with the Avid Colour Corrector.
Also has a lot of repo / cropping tools (so you can grade / crop / reposition behind a mask without needing to nest.
They've been pretty generous with the trial period to give us time to get up to speed.
Hopefully Root6 were recording the event - but there are also a whole bunch of tutorials on their site that will give you a pretty good idea of what is possible.
