# HDR & SDR monitoring with DeckLink 8K Pro

This guide covers setting up simultaneous HDR and SDR signal monitoring using two DeckLink 8K Pro cards — one on the sending end and one on the receiving end.

First, configure the ports on both cards using the **Desktop Video** app as follows:

Edit the connector settings in every sub-device and set them to **In or Out**:

Here is the port numbering on the device:

This is how the two boards should be connected:

Configure the DeckLink device in DaVinci Resolve as follows:

When DeckLink 1 is selected as the monitoring device, physical port 1 outputs HDR and port 3 outputs SDR.

Connect to **DeckLink (1)** and **DeckLink (2)** in OmniScope for simultaneous HDR and SDR monitoring:

Make sure to use the following **Input Settings** in OmniScope:

Once both inputs are configured and you set up a dual-source layout, you should see something like this:
