Wacom Cintiq Pro: The Centerpiece of the Advanced Professional Creative Studio 

The new Cintiq Pro 17 and 22 are built on the foundation of today's and tomorrow's color-critical workflows, including VFX and CG, professional animation, illustration, design, and photography, as well as educational goals of educators and students. The Cintiq Pro 22 features a 21.5" screen for those who need more screen real estate while the Cintiq Pro 17 offers a more compact 17.3" display. Both 4K resolution displays can display 1.07 billion colors, featuring sublime color coverage including: 100%Rec. 709, and 99% DCI-P3 coverage - the color gamuts used most frequently in Video, Film and Broadcast production. Both products are also Pantone and Pantone SkinTone Validated meeting the Pantone standard for accurately displaying the entire range of human skin tones. In many cases, with this level of accuracy, the need for a second color reference monitor is eliminated from the color-critical workflows of today and tomorrow.

Both tablets also feature HDR Gamma support. Equipped with HLG (hybrid log-gamma) and the PQ (perceptual quantization) curve for displaying and editing HDR (high dynamic range) video content. The optimized gamma curves render images to appear truer to how the human eye perceives the real world compared to SDR (standard dynamic range). 

For the Premium Touch: Pro Pen 3, ExpressKeys, Multi-touch Gestures

Customers can alter the Pro Pen 3's weighing, grip size, and button arrangement to suit their own requirements. Eight ExpressKeys are located along the back corners of each display, allowing customers to program their own shortcuts. Customers can link their Cintiq Pro to suitable third-party arms or stands, or they can buy a Wacom stand separately to change the configuration of their desk.

Wacom's innovation continues to set the pace for the industry and to enhance the workflows of professional creatives. To address the challenges of remote working in a creative environment, Wacom is blazing a new trail with Project Mercury. Currently in limited preview, Project Mercury will radically advance working with professional pen tablets and pen displays on supported remote desktop connections. Visit wacom.com to become a tester and learn more.
