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!
