(1) from Derek Roff <[log in to unmask]> You could run the analog video into the computer, and use the computer to send the signal to the data projector. If the computer already has inputs for analog video, this might be the simplest way. If it doesn't, there are various TV tuner cards and USB devices that can accept analog video input, and digitize it for watching on the computer. The cheaper ones cost around $35. Basically, you would be viewing the VCR's output on the computer, and the data projector would show the computer's display, just like it always does. Derek (2) from "Vance, Jason" <[log in to unmask]> How is the computer connected to the data projector? In my lab, we have a port panel inserted into the wall where the computer, visual display (overhead projector), and VCR connect into it. Thus, cables run within the wall to the projector mounted from the ceiling. Jason Vance Language Learning Center Supervisor Thomas Nelson Community College (757) 825 -2819 (3) from Ron Balko <[log in to unmask]> Margo, Based upon the assumption that your VCR a composite video output only, you could try http://www.pccables.com/70717.htm which I found with a Google search of 'vga to rca'. You could try other search variations. The 'gender' is wrong for the composite connector but that can be easily rectified by a trio to Radio Shack. Not sure it will work but it might be worth a try. Another idea would be if the teacher's update their media. Still certainly cheaper than cable!
