Cintiq Companion

Post by Simon W Edmondson »

I have been offered a Cintiq companion at a low price but, before parting with the cash, wondered if any one here had experience of using it and, most importantly, can I use it with TVP?
regards

Thank you for your reply and help,I checked the link and drivers seem to be available.
In a conversation with the person selling the Companion, found that she had to use it like an Intuous, connected to her computer, so she could see what she was drawing on the screen, but not on the tablet.
I was hoping to use it with TVP away from the computer, perhaps on Location. Is there a way to do that?

Alternatively, is there a version of TVP that runs on an Ipad Pro ?

TVP 11.0 and 11.7 MacPro 12core 3GHz 32GB OS 10.11 Quicktime 10.7.3

Thank you for the help and info.
Will have to stick to deskbound for TVP,and photos, drawing books and graphic stuff for location. Good excuse to get out of the house more often !
