Intuos3 A5 Wide: Wacom's First Wide Format Pen Tablet

Intuos3 A5 Wide Wacoms First Wide Format Pen Tablet
Wacom, the leading manufacturer of pen tablets and interactive pen displays, today announces the Intuos3 A5 Wide.

The new pen tablet, Wacom's first in a wide format size, is aimed at professionals and prosumers in digital imaging, digital photography, graphic design, industrial design and video editing markets.

The Intuos3 A5 Wide is priced at �249.90 excluding VAT and is ideal for use with widescreen displays, HDTV monitors or multi-monitor set-ups.

In response to demand from users and the fast growing market for LCD monitors and widescreen notebooks, the Intuos3 A5 Wide provides an active area of 6x11 inch and comes in a 16:10 aspect ratio, more closely matching the dimensions of widescreen displays in the marketplace today, including Apple's cinema displays.

A particular benefit for the digital imaging, graphic design and video editing environments is that it is more convenient to work on double monitor set-up or wide format display with a wide format tablet.

This is because using the standard mapping of current tablets with a wide format display or multi-monitor set-up, often results in a distortion of objects, as the proportions of the tablet do not fit the screen.

The Intuos3 A5 Wide provides the same features as the Intuos3 pen tablet system, which includes integrated ExpressKeys and Touch Strips.
