Single vs. Dual Viewers
By default, there are two viewers positioned side by side across the top of the window. However, you can use the Single/Dual Viewer button to toggle between displaying a single viewer or two viewers displayed side by side.

Floating Viewers in Fusion Studio
In addition to the dual views above the Node Editor, Fusion Studio provides the option to use an unlimited number of floating viewers. These floating viewers are excellent for taking full advantage of a dual monitor configuration. Floating viewers can also be set to full-screen mode to make the best use of screen real estate.
To create a new floating display view, select Window > New View from the menu bar at the top of the screen. The position and configuration of the new view can be saved in the layout preferences, if required.
Video Output
When using DaVinci Resolve or Fusion Studio, if Blackmagic video hardware is present in the computer, then you can select a node to preview directly on that display. While video output can’t be used for manipulating onscreen controls such as center crosshairs or spline control points, they’re extremely valuable for evaluating your composition via the output format, and for determining image accuracy using a properly calibrated display.
The video hardware is configured from the DaVinci Resolve and Fusion Studio preferences.
