UPDATE (7/6/20): I purchased a Blackmagic DeckLink Duo 2 PCIe card housed in a Sonnet Echo Express SE I chassis. I send 2 of my 4 available SDI ports on the DeckLink to the ATEM and am able to send a "key" and "fill" signals to the switcher which allows me to send perfectly transparent lower thirds content as well as full screen content at my discretion using the DSK in the ATEM. This is accomplished by making thorough use out of the "Looks" feature in PP7. Here's my more recent video detailing our new rig:

Alright my tech people, I've got a solution and a question for y'all.
Quick gear list: iMac 27" Retina 5k 2017 | ProPresenter 7 | Blackmagic ATEM TV Studio HD Switcher | NDI Output | Wirecast Pro | AJA T-Tap | Decimator MD-HX
Big goals:
1) Have my primary ProPresenter 7 computer handle nearly all of the media and lyrics for both FOH and streaming.
2) Accomplish this by only using using 1 or 2 HDMI inputs on the switcher. Only one would be amazing, 2 is acceptable, 3 stinks.
I'm currently able to send a master output from ProPresenter 7 to the ATEM so that media shown in the Auditorium can also be shown online.
My second available screen connected to the Mac is my stage display.
I'm sending a third output via NDI for the lower third lyrics. These are formatted with a theme that is only applied to that NDI output so whenever the media tech fires the lyric slides as they normally would during a service, a secondary lower third format gets sent via NDI (many other videos exist on how to do this).
From there, the NDI goes to another computer on our network running Wirecast Pro which receives the NDI and then puts it back OUT via an AJA T-TAP Thunderbolt to HDMI/SDI converter.
I feed this signal into the switcher for my lower thirds input. As of right now, this is the ONLY thing that I will use Wirecast for...so it's taking up a whole computer and expensive software to do a relatively simple task. New solution needed!
From there, I assign this input to the Downstream Key (DSK1) in the ATEM and set the fill and key source to that input. This uses a luma key which takes the black background and makes it transparent, effectively separating my lyrics and I'm able to keep the lyrics on top of the videos switching in the background.
I do the same thing for other media images I want to display ONLY for the stream and not in the Auditorium using the media pool connected to DSK2.
Question:
Would a Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini Monitor work with ProPresenter as a third output? If so, I'd need to free up one of my two Thunderbolt 3 outputs. So I'd maybe have to buy something like the CalDigit Thunderbolt 3 Mini Dock so send both of my HDMI outs to the front and back screens. Would my computer be able to handle this third output?
Or should I simply buy an NDI to HDMI converter and call it good?
Or is there another solution I'm not thinking of?
