Hi,

I've searched this forum and have found some possible solutions to my problem but am confused about what I really need so if anyone can offer more advice I'd be grateful.

I'm doing a performance which invloves live video work which will be projected by an SD projector. The video is SD 4:3. I'm using the Matrox mini to output the video. I need to get the output to the projector. The simpest solution is to use a component cable but would need a 20 metre cable. Already fixed up is a VGA connector (male) so I was thinking a component to VGA (female) adapter would save buying and rigging up a 20 metre cable.

So my questions are a) would a simple conversion cable suffice - Component to VGA Video Cables - Best UK Prices at www.tvcables.co.uk (http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/scan/fi=products/st=db/co=yes/sf=category/se=Component%20to%20VGA/op=eq/sf=prod_group/se=Video%20Cables/op=eq.html) - or do I need a more sophisticated conversion box? - VGA001 YPbPr to RGBHV VGA BOX (2:1 Video Switch) (http://www.mayflash.com/vgabox/vga001/vga001.htm) - b) will I see any quality drop converting component to VGA? c) would there be any issues with a 20m component cable - I've seen what looks like a decent one for about £40: 20m Component Video Cable Only 40.84 at TVCables (http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/20m-component-video-cable.html)

Thanks,

Geoff
