This may be very basic questions for many of you but new for me. Please assist with constructive responses.
I have been using Da Vinci Resolve for many years now but my setup was just with a dual monitor. For reference, I use a different monitor that is not connected to my Resolve computer. I just bought a DeckLink mini-monitor 4K and installed it. My 2 workstation monitors are connected to a graphics card as before. Now, I have the reference monitor connected to the DeckLink via HMDI.
Here are my questions:
(1) I am unable to access the reference monitor via Windows 10 OS. It only turns on when I'm in Resolve playback mode. Is this normal? If not, what do I have to do?
(2) How do I calibrate the reference monitor if I can only access it via Resolve? Is there other way to calibrate the monitor? I have Spyder 5 which I use to calibrate the dual monitors attached to the GPU card.
(3) Should I calibrate the dual monitors to match the reference monitor colors or the other way around?
Thanks!
