DSLR external monitor issue

When you connect a monitor to a canon DSLR the screen on the LCD goes blank in favor of the monitor. I've seen once before where a DP used a monitor on top of the camera while also shooting the video to a computer monitor for the director, but I can't figure out how that's done.
Would anyone happen to know how to do this?

The DP sending video to the director was using a monitor that had a "loop out" port to send to a second monitor This is entirely dependent on the monitor you use. There's not a trick or hack involved. If your external monitor doesn't have loop out, you will be unable to send signal to a second monitor.
