The Client Monitor in Color Correction Mode
The Client monitor can be an important tool for color correction since it allows you to see your corrections as they will appear when output and displayed on a television screen. Your system's Edit monitor does not have exactly the same color and luminance display characteristics as a television monitor.
  With some Avid systems, to use a Client monitor requires that you select the "High Performance (more simultaneous effects)" option in the Video Display Settings dialog box. For information about the Video Display Settings dialog box, see Real-Time Preview of Video Effects. For more information on using a Client monitor, see Playing Video to the Client Monitor.
When you are using Color Correction mode, the Client monitor displays the image that is in the currently active monitor in the Composer window. By switching from one monitor to another in the Composer window, you can quickly compare whichever three images are currently displayed in the monitors. For more information on switching between monitors, see Activating Monitors.
Some systems support Dual Split display in the Client monitor. For those systems, when you select Dual Split for the active monitor, the split-screen display also appears in the Client monitor. This allows you to compare uncorrected and corrected versions of the same segment within the Client monitor. If you right-click (Windows) or Ctrl+Shift+click (Macintosh) the Color Correction tool, and select Dual Split with Reference, the split-screen display allows you to compare a shot with the current reference shot within the Client monitor. For more information on using dual-split options, see Splitting the Image Display in Monitors.
  If the Dual Split display does not appear in the Client monitor, your system might not support this feature. If it does, make sure that Show Graphics on Client Display is selected in the Interface Settings dialog box. See Interface Settings.
