I currently have a Blackmagic Mini Monitor Thunderbolt (1080p version) connected to a 2013 Mac Pro Trash Can via Thunderbolt 2 and want to upgrade to the Blackmagic Mini Monitor 4K. I have a Flanders CM 250 monitor (1080p) as well as an LG E7 55" OLED 4K client monitor. Both are currently getting 1080p feeds since I don't have the 4K hardware yet.
I'm planning on putting the Blackmagic Mini Monitor 4K in an Akitio Thunder2 PCIe box and connect to the Mac Pro via Thunderbolt 2. It seems that the Mini Monitor 4K outputs the same single on both the SDI and HDMI outputs, It would be nice if it was user-selectable to have 4K signal on the HDMI output, and 1080p on the SDI output, but that doesn't seem to be an option, so I'm looking for advice on which converter I should use to convert the 4K signal from the SDI output to 1080p to run to the Flanders monitor. I've looked through all of the BMD converters and I'm a bit confused as to which one would do the conversion correctly. Or, if someone has a better solution for this situation I'm all ears. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
