Scopes aren’t showing up with external hd SDI monitor.
Hey guys and gals,
So when I run resolve without an external monitor and right click in my viewer and hit “show scopes” they pop up without any issue.
When I run resolve to my Sony OLED via a deck link SDI card and right click on the viewer and hit “show scopes” I get nothing. Am I missing a step here ?

The scopes are meant to be displayed on a second GUI display, not on the Video I/O SDI output.
So, actually a three-monitor system if you want the scopes on a second computer monitor, with the image output on the (third) SDI grade monitor.jPo

Actually I’ve never had an issue with the scopes showing up on top of my GUi when running On My laptop or tower. The only time the scopes will not show up over top the interface is when I’m running the viewer out to a second monitor via SDI

Because the image displayed through SDI isn’t part of the GUI, it’s the video output.
Just think about it, you don’t see your mouse pointer on it:) -
I think i’m explaining this incorrectly.
when you have resolve open and a clip in the view in the “color room” and you click on the view and hit “show scopes” a 2nd window pops up (if you’re on ONE monitor here ). The scopes (waveform, vector scope, etc) show as a 2nd window laying right on top of the resolve screen.
NOW, when I change my preferences to activate my sdi card I restart resolve, have an image in my view and on my sony OLED but when I click on the show scopes they don’t activate.
Is there a reason why?

Has the feel of the application trying to open the scope window on a “phantom” 2nd monitor.

Maybe you could go to the system preferences and then to the Blackmagic Decklink preferences and change the ‘when not playing video” tab to black if it is set to second monitor/desktop.
