4 VGAS to 2 HDMI

[Church-Tech]

CHURCH ISSUE: I have 1-projector, 2-TV Monitors and 1-VGA monitor "gerry-rigged" into a computer using Display Adaptors to see all my screens... I have a sepreate Video Card to use for these monitors but don't know how to use it. (Video card has 2-HDMI inputs and 2-DVI inputs) How can I use the Video Card and the inputs effectively?

If the projector takes DVI give it one DVI, then give the two tv monitors HDMI, and convert the last DVI to VGA.
a converter like this should work. http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681499921 Just a note, in windows this will require some configuration.

There is more to it... The Projector and the 2-TV monitors (55" LCD Screens) are 50 feet away from the computer... I only have VGA cords running between the monitors and the computer.

oh... that is a slight snag. I would consider replacing those cables, as unless the TV supports VGA, you will have to use two converters, which is often either not going to work, or is easily messed up.
http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882203219 this would do the job quite well, but you would have to split it at the end, which will be an issue if the two TV screens are not next top each other.
or you would need two of these cables which will be about $90 which is not cheap if your projector is far away too.

Thanks for your answer.... The TVs are within 15' of each other sitting on a wall... The Projector is another 15' in front of the TVs, if that... IS there any resonable way to use a VGA to HDMI converter? Can I convert the VGA to DVI?

The reason I would not do a DVI/HDMI to VGA to HDMI/DVI is because the VGA will be the signal weak point. and I do not think that showing a low res image on a 55 inch screen is a good idea unless you are playing minecraft on it.
if you show the same thing on both TV screens, then this should work.

so you could have the 50 foot cable go into this and then have a cable to each TV. for the projector you could run a DVI in the ceiling perhaps. I'll be back on here in a few hours.

Thanks.. I don't think the projector has HDMI on it, so I'll have to invest in upgrading the cables to the TVs.
Been a great help...
