Undocking Specific Panels of the Interface
There are certain interface elements that can either be docked in their respective pages, or opened in separate windows.
Media Pool bins can be opened into floating windows simply by right-clicking on the bin and choosing Open As a New Window in the contextual menu. Even though you’re opening up the contents of the selected bin, you’re really creating another Media Pool, complete with Bin list, Browsing area, and all of the organizational controls found in the docked Media Pool. You can have as many floating Media Pools as you like. They can be dragged to other monitors, and they can be closed via a button at the upper left-hand corner of the title bar.

They can be exposed in their docked position to the right of the Color page palettes by clicking the Video Scope button in the Color page toolbar.

Optionally, you can click the expand button at the top right of the video scope to open the video scopes into a floating window, within which you can display all four video scopes together, or individually, on any monitor connected to your workstation.
