Avid dual reference monitor
Hi
Currently avid is feeding my one reference monitor via BM Ultrastudio Monitor (HDMI). But I would like to also have it connected to my LG Oled as a second client monitor. My plan is to use SDI out from my ultrastudio and play it via Micro Converter SDI to HDMI (I only need HD res) to my TV. Is Avid capable of feeding two reference monitors? Or there’s maybe something wrong with this setup I’m about to use?
Thanks!

You can’t have two different hardware IO devices attached and active in composer, but you can use multiple outputs from the same hardwareIO device, including hardware down/crossconvert where applicable.

That’s why i want avid to feed the signal only to Mini Monitor and then use it’s second output (SDI) and convert the signal back to HDMI (via Micro Converter). Or maybe Micro Converter will be seen as second hardware IO?

Why not just get an HDMI distribution splitter?
Take the one HDMI and split it to two.

Didn’t think about that 🙂 so there will be no signal loss using splitter?

Why not simply replace the UltraStudio Monitor with the UltraStudio HD Mini? This will give you simultaneous SDI and HDMI outputs. Seems like that would be a lot less hassle.

For now I need two hdmi outputs and as far as I know the Ultrastudio HD mini only have one.

I see. Yes, two HDMIs are not that common in a single devise.

Maciej, I think your plan will work. Avid is just sending one feed to the Ultrastudio. The Ultrastudio is giving you 2 different outputs. As long as both reference monitors can accept the same signal (frame rate, raster size, etc.) you should be fine. An HDMI splitter should also work fine although you might see a brief signal drop out on one monitor when you turn the other one on or off.
