You would want to use a Mini Monitor. This will attach to your MacBook Pro via thunderbolt and output the video signal via HDMI and/or SDI. In your case, you'll be using the HDMI. Then you'll also download and install Desktop Video Setup from Blackmagic's support site. That will let you do some settings in your system preferences and let you choose the Mini Monitor in Premiere or DaVinci (for example) as the path for your video signal.

Now the drawback is that the Mini Monitor is limited to 1080p HD. And I know that is a 4k monitor. I don't think there is a Blackmagic product under $1000 that will do 4k from thunderbolt to HDMI/SDI that isn't the Decklink Mini Monitor 4K PCIe card (which is what I use at home). but that doesn't help you on a laptop.
