INSTALLATION
System requirements
Before installing Cintiq, make sure your computer meets the following minimum system requirements:
• PC. Windows Vista ™ , Vista x64, XP, XP x64, or 2000. DVI or VGA video connector, available USB
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-I adapter, not included. (ADC to DVI-I
adapters can be purchased at various retail outlets.)
Cintiq supports both digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) video signals. If you are 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.
Note: 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.
When you are working with more than one monitor, Cintiq will map to the monitors 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 or monitor. Please refer to your hardware and operating system
documentation for details on configuring your computer and operating system for use with multiple
monitors.
A display toggle function is available for use with multiple monitor systems. This enables you to
toggle the screen cursor between the Cintiq pen display and your other displays. See Using the
ExpressKeys on page 26 for more information.
By using the VGA to DVI-I adapter, you can connect Cintiq to a VGA video card. However, connecting
Cintiq to a DVI video card generally results in optimum performance because a digital video signal will
display a better image and sharper text.
There are two primary steps to the installation process:
• Step 1: LCD monitor installation
• Step 2: Pen tablet installation
Be sure to follow ALL installation instructions carefully.
