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. Refer to your video card documentation
for more information on its capabilities.

In the first stage of the installation process you will install Cintiq as a display on your system.
As you work through this stage, please refer to the LCD Display Cabling Diagram on the following
page when making cable connections.

Important: Do not connect the USB or serial data cable until instructed to do so.

Turn off your computer.

Caution: Never connect or disconnect the video or power cables while your computer or
Cintiq are powered on—this can damage the LCD display or video card.

If your computer has only one video connector, you will need to unplug your previous dis-
play. Determine if your computer has a digital (DVI-I, DVI-D, or ADC) or analog (VGA)
connector, and set the Digital/Analog (DVI/VGA) switch located on the back of Cintiq for the
video connection you are using. Move the switch to the right toward the OSD buttons for
Digital (DVI-I, DVI-D, or ADC), and move it to the left toward the tablet edge for Analog
(VGA). See A

DVI-D Connector

Apple ADC Connector

VGA Connector

If you are connecting to a DVI-I connector, plug the DVI-I video
cable into the DVI-I connector of your video card.

If you are connecting to a DVI-D connector, plug the DVI-I video
cable into the DVI-D to DVI-I adaptor supplied with Cintiq.
Then plug the adaptor into the DVI-D connector on your video card.

If you are connecting to an ADC connector, you will need to
obtain an ADC to DVI-D adaptor. Plug the video cable into the
DVI-D to DVI-I adaptor supplied with Cintiq. Next, plug this adaptor
into the ADC to DVI-D adaptor. Then plug the ADC adaptor end into
the ADC connector on your video card.

If you are connecting to a VGA connector, plug the DVI-I video
cable into the VGA to DVI-I adaptor (supplied with Cintiq) and then
into the VGA connector on your video card.

Be sure to tighten the thumbscrews on the connectors. See B

Connect the power supply to Cintiq. See C Then connect the supply’s power cable and plug
