Before installing Cintiq, make sure that your computer meets the following system requirements:
■ Macintosh. OS 8.6, 9, or 10.1 and higher. DVI or VGA video connector, available USB port,
and CD-ROM drive. ADC connectors require an ADC to DVI adaptor (not included).
■ PC. Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0 (SP-3), 2000, or XP. DVI or VGA video connector, available
USB or serial port, and CD-ROM drive. (Windows 95 and NT 4.0 (SP-3) do not support USB.)
■ SGI and Sun workstations. Additional purchase of Wacom UNIX kit. IRIX 6.5 or later
for SGI. Solaris 2.6 or later for Sun. VGA or DVI video connector, available serial port, and
CD-ROM drive.
Cintiq supports both digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) video signals. Connecting Cintiq to a DVI
video card generally results in optimum performance because a digital video signal will display a
better image and exhibit less cursor lag on the screen.
If you plan to install a video card with digital output, 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 that the video card is
operating correctly. For information on digital video cards that have been tested with Cintiq, refer
to Wacom’s Web site at http://www.wacom.com/cintiq
There are two primary steps to the installation process:
■ Step 1: LCD Display Installation
■ Step 2: Tablet Installation
Be sure to follow ALL installation instructions carefully. Failure to do so may cause
damage to Cintiq or to the video card in your computer.
