Does the Wacom Cintiq 22 use the same pen tech as Wacom's pro tablets?

What cables does the Wacom Cintiq 22 need?
The Cintiq 22 connects to a computer using HDMI for video and USB for pen input. It also needs its own power adapter because it is a display, not a standalone tablet.
Why would someone buy a Cintiq 22 instead of a Huion Kamvas 24 Plus?
The Cintiq 22 is usually chosen for Wacom driver stability, Pro Pen 2 feel, and compatibility in studio pipelines. The Huion Kamvas 24 Plus has a larger 23.8-inch QHD screen, so the tradeoff is Wacom ecosystem versus more pixels and screen area.
