Key / Fill compatibility with Blackmagic UltraStudio 4k Mini

Hi all, looking to add some more capability to my live setup in the main lecture theatre at my work where I currently use a Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio Pro 4K with 3x PTZ, 1x fixed cam, and 1x laptop feed. I used vMix during lockdown for vMix Call, and for single camera portable broadcasts, but having seen Tim's video on key / fill, I feel this would be a great addition to the lecture theatre setup.
I see the UltraStudio HD Mini is supported for key / fill, and as I currently only have 1080 cameras this would be fine but I do want to futureproof and wonder if the 4K Mini version of the UltraStudio is supported - it wasn't listed in the video. I'd be looking to also use the SDI input on the UltraStudio to bring in the ATEM output into vMix or when I have others using the system on their own laptops - can I confirm if vMix can use both SDI out and the SDI in simultaneously?
Cheers,
Ross

Easily connect UltraStudio to live production mixers. If you're using UltraStudio as a media player, you can run title software or RGB animations using the UltraStudio 4K model and route the fill and key signals to the dual link SDI outputs. Each link can be connected to two mixer inputs, and the server can use the fill and key signals internally to overlay these live graphics. The included Photoshop CC plug-in also supports RGB graphics and alpha channels from your Photoshop CC graphics. So you can update your titles instantly and insert live graphics. UltraStudio is ideal for live streaming programme signals from the production switcher. Simply connect the mixer's programme output or aux output to the UltraStudio's input and use your favourite broadcast software.
send fill and key signals to the mixer ok
capture the mixer output on the vmix pc ok

I use the Ultrastudio 4K Mini not with vmix, but with Mac Minis and it supports key/fill up to 4K/30p.

I recently tried to use Key&Fill with an Ultrastudio 4K mini and vMix with 2160p60 and it didn't work. I didn't calculate it, but I guess it's a bandwidth problem. I set the resolution back to 1080p60 and it worked great. Does anybody know if there is any Ultrastudio thunderbolt device that supports 4k60 with key&fill? I'm planning to buy the upcoming Media Player 10G device as a playout device for 4K. Will that work?
