is this possible? We did a conferance room, they only wanted to use sharp lcd's and where only going to use a DVD.... Well, not its 3 months later they want to use a comp on each of them. There are 10 in all that i have to get working... I went to liberty had a vga to componant cable made, not luck... Didnt think ther would be a video sync prob.

Please help

Thank again,
Lonny

Do they want a computer in each of them or the computer signal is going to be common to all of them? Is the DVD signal common to all of them?

You could use KDS ClearColor3(VTCA3) to convert VGA to component. Be aware that this piece only accepts resolutions of 640x480 and 1280x720. So if the computer doesn't have this resolution you would need to install Power Strip which is an application that will allow you to change the resolution of the computer VGA output to any of those need it. Be aware also that the video board might not accept the resolution either even with Power Strip. If the computers are dedicated you might have a better chance of being successful with this setup but if they have somebody coming to do a presentation with a laptop and the laptop doesn't allow any of those resolution them you'll need to install PS in that laptop. If what they want is a computer fee that is going to be common to all the displays and will be shared with laptops brought in for a presentation your best bet is use a video processor. Good luck.

The KDS VGA to component units can produce a VERY soft image when used with PCs... They are more suited for the old RCA DTC-100 application.
