I see this is an old topic but this solution could still be relevant to some.
We solved the 12G monitoring dilemma a different way some years ago when BMD released their Decklink SDI 4K Pro card. This 12G I/O device offers on-board 4K>HD downscale on SDI #2 which we run to a BMD HD-Link SDI to DP converter. Our Resolve 4K timeline is hardware down scale in the Decklink to our Rec709 calibrated IPS PG2401PT monitor where we see 10bit 4:4:4.
The Decklink's 4K SDI #1 output runs direct to our 4K client TV through a BMD SDI to HDMI converter located at the back of the set using only a short HDMI 2 cable. This setup has proved to be very successful for some time now but BenQ's new PV271 4K monitor is fitted with a 12G SDI input.
