Cintiq digitizer vs Tablet PC digitizer
Posted on March 24th, 2011 23 commentsShogmaster asked:
Is there noticeable difference in pressure sensitivity levels between 1024 levels of Cintiq 21UX vs 256 levels of UD series digitizer of Wacom Penabled Tablet PCs? I use Corel Painter X to find out.

@trejkaz
16 lvls of pressure means you have a capacitive digitizer like on an iPad. The pressure sensitivity is derived from sensing the change in the size of the contact area, and is purely a software solution. It compares really poorly against a proper EMR digitizer like Wacom makes.

If you have Wacom Penabled Tablet PC, you must download Penabled driver from Wacom’s website. -

256 is already pretty high though. A lot of tablets only have 16. What about 16 vs 256?

ugh this is so annoying, i had tablet sensitivity a while ago then my computer broke down and we sent it off to get fixed. It came back and they has taken it off of it and i had to re-instal it. When i did i couldn’t remember how to get the sensitivity back. And now that i have found the disk for it, it keeps on telling me that it won’t work?

did you use the same styles between the Cintiq and tablet pc?

The Lag, (where the cursor chases after the stylus at a tenth of a second delay or so), is deliberate. Recognition of stylus and button by the sensor grid is instantaneous; the tablet samples stylus condition hundreds of times per second, so the lag is a feature, probably added because of behavior user studies.
I asked a Wacom and a Toshiba engineer where in the driver the delay setting was. At first they blamed each other. When I explained my logic, they stopped responding.
Weird.

@meachy13
so what’s your conclusion? -

Sure there’s a lag on CoreDuo 1.6

How much time it will take for us to get a wacom monitor, where we can draw over the image with all that precision?

they are very close but but when u did the values test the cintiq seems to have a bit more depth that the tashiba…

Hey Shogmaster!
What is the difference between the R25 and the R15?
How is it to draw on a convertible? isn’t it too high? -

About the lag.. That is going to depend on a lot on your settings in the application, your PC specs as well, but most people now a days have more than enough physical specifications to get no lag. However, for example, even a really good PC using some of the newer photoshop versions will lag if their AERO is turned off, which sounds backwards but its true, among other settings that mess with the performance.

Big lag on the pointer , i couldn t stand it.

completely agree’d, yes theres a difference… but its seriously hard to notice, especially if you have to go through all of this, just too see it…I think wacom just puts the pressure sensitivity to make people think its better. I have a wacom with, 1024 and im getting a tablet pc with 256 soon, so i’ll see for myself i guess.

you should have include usual wacom tablet also (intuoes for example).

Either tool can be used to make beautiful things, so while there really are some very subtle differences, they’re not big enough to be a snob about in my opinion.

Jeebus! The lag is HORRIBLE in both cases! :O I don’t know if I’d be able to tolerate such a horrendous lag!
-
Weird… While watching this video I see an enormous difference, the same I feel when I use my sister’s 256 voluto instead of my intuos 3, now intuos 4. You struggle so much in getting a clean long varied line with the tablet pc I can’t believe most people don’t see the difference. As someone who inks, draws and colors a lot, low level sensitivy simply drives me mad : O

That is what virtually all politicians want you to believe so they can gain more power!
Pure, laissez-faire Capitalism is the recongnition and protection of Individual Rights.. freedom from physical force, violence, and breach of contract/knaves & shysters.
So what if (e.g.) Adobe holds a monoply on web and video software?? They did NOT accomplish their greatness with a gun or whip like governments do.

Actually, extreme capitalism is what brought us the crisis. A little going back to more moderation is what we would need. In fact, extreme capitalism also endorses monopolies, because extreme capitalism dislikes any form of government control/regulation. To fight against monopolization, regulation is the only method, because the free market, due to entropy, will always move towards monopolies which in the end hurts the customers.
But we’re on the topic of Wacom, let’s not get into politics.

Yes, this was a poor comment (mine) as I do not even remember what I the context was.
I think it has something to do with liberals being bastards about anti-trust laws and free advertisement.. e.g. Intel and Microsoft are constantly fined due to their ways of advertising.
Democrats now want to control the health-care system in the name of “competition”.
Actually, Republican’s only probable is that they have Christianity on their side and that’s not good for defending capitalism!
