Wondering if anyone had any suggestions on this, so here goes. In a bar there is a VCR running to a projector via coax cable with composite ends. I need to hook up the computer to the projector without the LCD display on the computer cutting out in favor of the projector. Now is there any way I can use the existing coax cable from the projector to the VCR to my computer - projector, or do I have to buy a VGA cable? And if I do need a VGA cable, whats the easiest and cheapest way to split the display to the projector and the monitor? I would just need a VGA splitter, correct? Thanks in advance.
Hi I think I know what you are talking about so please bear with me. I deal with things like this on a regular basis as it forms a part of my job... 1. The signal from the VCR and the signal from your PC are different and feed the projector from different feeds, therfore you cannot tap in or out of the cable which runs from the VCR to the projector. 2. There are two ways to get the signal showing both on your PC and the monitor: a. Use a vga splitter - not sure where you get them in Canada - Belkin 12 Inch VGA Splitter Cable F3G006-01 from PC World Business One end will connect to your monitor and you will need another VGA cable to go to from the splitter to the projectore. b. Every projector has a monitor out which can brings out the PC image to another monitor, in this case your PC monitor. Hope I got you right and that this answer your question. Good luck
