ActivPanel User Guide 9
Installation
The computer treats the ActivPanel as two
separate devices (the display and the pen).
Therefore, the installation process is completed
in two stages:
•
First install as a display.
•
Then install as a pen tablet.
Both stages require hardware and software
installations and adjustments. Carefully follow
ALL instructions.
Important: You MUST install the ActivPanel
driver software for correct pen-on-screen
functionality.

System requirements
•
Step 1: Display installation
•
Step 2: Pen tablet installation
Make sure your computer meets the following
minimum system requirements:
•
PC. Windows 7, Vista™, XP (32 and 64 bit).
DVI or VGA connector, available USB port,
and CD-ROM drive.
•
Macintosh. OS X, v10.4.1 or greater. DVI or
VGA connector, available USB port, and CD-
ROM drive. ADC connectors require an ADC
to DVI adapter, not included.
The pen display supports both digital (DVI)
and analog (VGA) video signals. If updating
your video card, first complete the video card
installation before connecting the pen display. If
you have another display that is compatible with
your video card, you can use that display to verify
the video card is operating correctly.
Although you can connect the pen display to
either a DVI or VGA video card, connecting to
a DVI video card generally results in optimum
performance.
Notes:
You may be able to set up the pen display as a
mirrored, extended, or independent display.
When working with more than one monitor, the
pen display will map to the monitors based upon
how your system is configured. By default, if you
are in mirror mode, the pen display will map to the
entire space on each monitor. See your hardware
and operating system documentation for details
on configuring your 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 pen display
and your other monitors.
The pen display can be used alone or with another
display. You may connect a second device, such
as a monitor or LCD projector, to the DVI-I out
port. When using this port, the second device will
mirror the image on the pen display. Complete the
pen display installation before connecting another
device to the unit.
