We are doing the same as Karl in most cases. We run a VGA cable from a spot in the room to the projector, and rely on the AverMedia box to do all of the switching.
>From the looks of your picture, all of those cables run to the projector, and the projector is doing the switching. If you wanted to continue that way, you would need a VGA A/B switch to provide multiple inputs, unless you can get multiple VGA cables on your projectors. We have 4 Extron systems which provided a plate similar to what you have, and runs all of the signal over network cabling. Works fine, but it way more expensive, and really not user programmable that I have found.

So I am working on the first step in mounting projectors and all the wiring . . . Do you have a box on the wall to connect everything to, and then run the cables from there to the projector. . . or would you recommend (if they even still make these) the boxes that everything would plug into and then run one cable from that spot to the projector. (were they called a video processor or something--View Sonic made if I remember correctly . . .) I want ports like the picture below . . . but will need another of the 15 pin connectors --one for the computer and one for a document camera. What is everyone using/recommending? Thanks! --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus on the server aea8.k12.ia.us] --------------------------------------------------------- Archived messages from this list can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------
