I'm still thinking that would not be an acceptable solution to this issue, as it requires the use of an external monitor.
I don't have one.
I'm 'stuck' doing the best I can with the GUI and reviewing on a calibrated Home Theater display, making notes about where things went wrong by doing it incorrectly.
Oh, I might be explaining it badly. Basically I'm suggesting that the two outputs would have the option to show on different monitors but wouldn't require them. So here's how it would work on a typical one-monitor-for-everything setup or with an editing monitor + playback monitor set up.
You'd have two outputs but only one output is active showing in the viewer at a time. In this case, the bottom output path, lets say it's the HDR one, would be the active one so the scopes will be in HDR mode when that's selected. The other path would be grayed out into you activate the SDR output.
The alternate layout, which would be more consistent with how Fusion would probably do it, is this:
Where one of the inputs of the output node is SDR and the other is HDR.
The former is probably the better solution for keeping node branches clean and would be scale with projects where you might want to output to multiple color spaces.
