Wacom Cintiq 18SX User Manual

Installation

Before installing Cintiq, make sure your computer meets the following system requirements:

■

Macintosh.  OS 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-D adaptor (not included).

■

PC.  Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP.  DVI or VGA video connector, available USB or serial port,
and CD-ROM drive.

■

SGI and Sun workstations.  Additional purchase of Wacom UNIX kit.  IRIX 6.5 or later
for SGI.  Solaris 2.6 or later for Sun.  DVI or VGA video connector, available serial port, and
CD-ROM drive.

Cintiq supports both digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) video signals.  By using the VGA to DVI-I
adaptor, 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 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
