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

■ 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
