have minidisplayport, want to connect to analog

carmatic · 11 Jun 2010 at 11:06

so i have a radeon 5870 eyefinity6 , the one with 6 minidisplayports...

and i want to hook up 6 projectors to it, the problem is that these projectors take composite video, i.e. the yellow cable ... S-video is also another option

what do i need to buy to hook these projectors up?

A time machine to take you back to the 1980s when it was acceptable to use composite. Do you hate your eyes?

I GOT LOVE FOR YOU IF YOU WERE BORN IN THE 80'S

but seriously tho, the reason i am asking for composite and s-video connections is because i am trying to hook my friends' projectors to my computer... they all take analog inputs, and i am hoping that digital-to-analog video converters are cheaper than projectors which take DVI input...

miniDisplayPort to VGA and then VGA to composite/S-Video. Lots of these available cheap.

so it will have to be a 2-step process?

::edit:: your right, there are plenty of dvi to vga converters....is this something which i would want to buy? those are the cheapest i could find

really liking that the HDFury can connect to any D-sub VGA input and pipe my video feed straight into it... this means i can buy those handheld projectors for around £100 instead of the huge DVI projectors starting at £300
