SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Before installing Cintiq, be sure your computer meets the following minimum system requirements:
•
PC. Windows Vista
port, and CD-ROM drive.
•
Macintosh. OS X, v10.3.9 or greater. DVI or VGA video connector, available USB port, and
CD-ROM drive. ADC connectors require an ADC to DVI-D adapter, not included.
Cintiq supports both digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) video signals. If updating your video card,
complete the video card hardware and software installation before connecting Cintiq. If you have
another display that is compatible with your video card, you can connect that display to the card in order
to verify the video card is operating correctly.
Using the VGA to DVI-I cable, you can connect Cintiq to a VGA video card. However, connecting Cintiq
to a DVI video card generally results in optimum performance.
Notes: Cintiq can be used alone or with another display, such as a CRT monitor or LCD projector. To use
Cintiq with another display, you will need two video cards or a video card with dual output.
Depending on the capabilities of your video card and operating system, you may be able to set up Cintiq as a
mirrored, extended, or independent display. See your video card documentation for more information on its
capabilities.
When working with more than one display, Cintiq will map to the displays based upon how your system is
configured. By default, if you are in mirror mode, the pen tablet will map to the entire space on each display.
See your hardware and operating system documentation for details on configuring your computer and
operating system for use with multiple displays.
A display toggle function is available for use with multiple display systems. This enables you to toggle the
screen cursor between the Cintiq pen display and your other displays. For more information, see Using the
ExpressKeys on page 22.
There are two primary steps to the installation process:
•
Step 1: display installation
•
Step 2: pen tablet installation
Follow ALL installation instructions carefully.
