if you just want to get some simple movement detection there is 
[pix_movement] (and [pix_movement2] which does exactly that: subtract to 
(or more) subsequent (if this is the correct word) frames; so no need to 
  get into the strangeness of [pix_buffer]...

i am not sure about osX (Gem either tries to grab the first available 
device, which would be ok; or the first listed device (which would 
reduce your options to one camera)
on linux i have worked with several cameras within one Gem-patch, there 
is something like a "device" message.
