Cinq screen with ME on a mac

Anyone here using the Cinq screen with ME on a mac? When connected to both the Cinq and an additional screen/TV how are you getting the output(not the output preview box) to view on the additonal screen/tv vs. the Cinq? Arranging the screens in display preferences didn't help. The only work around I have found is to toggle mirroring on and off.

What's the downside to using the output preview box and just making it fullscreen on the Cinq? I don't have a Cinq but I always thought about getting a small screen to preview the left and right preview boxes and maybe the Overlays box. Can the Cinq be powered by a wall plug or only USB? There's no way I could add another USB device to my setup. I'm already having power issues with my Macbook's USB ports.

Putting the output preview box on Cinq is watch I'm trying to accomplish. If your using a Macbook Pro you didn't need separate usb power for the Cinq, but your connection is via usb so you still may have a challenge. In other words you can run one usb vs. two. They recommend a powered usb, but I did test it with a crane usb hub and it worked.

Solution: In ME bring up ME window by clicking Command 1. Screens are listed at bottom middle of box and it allows you to specify the main output screen. Thanks Xplicit and Crush!
