Problem with Patch and external Monitor/Beamer

mheton's icon

I am working on a M4L/Max7 patch that sends data to a Processing 2.0 patch on the same computer which generates visuals. So far so good, everything is working fine. My working computer is a MacbookPro.

My Problem: I would like to send the visuals of Processing to a beamer while manipulating data in Ableton and M4L. I have no clue how to get this accomplished. When I connect a beamer to the MBP, the window I am working on is transmitted to the device. I need a solution where a different window is transmitted to the beamer than the one I am working on.
Thanks for your help.
