Hi there Denny, At AJA we have a number of solutions that may be of interest to you. There are two product lines that are applicable for your needs as an Avid user, namely KONA cards for desktop implementations and the Io product lineup for moble and Thunderbolt based workflows. Considering your desire to future proof your workflows for UltraHD needs

While Monitors themselves will often be limited to 8-bit, especially in the case of HDMI monitors, AJA's products for Avid Open I/O including the Io 4K and T-TAP™ do support 10-bit out and for best results you will want to be driving a professional Broadcast monitor with SDI inputs.
