>Subject: Connecting Data Projector to VCR via VGA?
>To: [log in to unmask]

Hi all!

Does anyone know if there's an adapter/converter (preferably not
especially expensive) that will take RCA video out from a VCR and send it
into a data projector via a VGA cable? 

This question came up today: a school has data projectors mounted on the
ceilings of all the classrooms, with VGA cabling professionall installed
through the ceiling and channels to a special outlet at the teacher's
computer.  No more TVs and AV carts to roll around!  Still, a couple of
teachers have already asked how to show a videotape from a VCR on the
projector with this system.  Running an additional wire through the
channels to plug the VCR into the data projector is not an option, and
it's not okay for folks to climb up on a table and plug in their own RCA
cables into the projector and have them dangling down cross the room --
that's why the VGA was installed the way it was. There's got to be an
easier solution!  Ideas?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Margo
