majoraxis Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi, I wanted to use a second monitor with Resolve as a preview monitor. I hooked up a second monitor and selected Dual Monitors, which gave me more controls on the second screen, which is useful, but not what I was hoping to achieve. I searched the internet to see if there was a configuration option I had missed and there wasn't. As it stands with Resolve 15.2 and lower, it will not output to a second display as a preview monitor unless you have Blackmagic's hardware (actually you the can "tear off" the preview monitor in the Fairlight page, but I wanted it for the color grading page). ...then I found a program called NobeDisplay by Time In Pixels. The software runs as an OpenFX plugin inside of Resolve. You use it by inserting it on a node in the timeline view of node section of the color page. This plugin taps off of the video data stream that represents your preview in Resolve. At 19.99€ it is worth trying the demo to see if you find it useful/compatible for your system configuration. My configuration is an iMac with a second display via DisplayPort so I did not need Blackmagic Design's hardware to physically connect a second monitor. https://timeinpixels.com/nobe-display/ Thanks!

Mark This is very interesting to me. What kind of performance do you get with and without it enabled? I would imagine there would be a performance hit when running it (as the BM hardware solutions would also impose I imagine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
