Urgent... Connecting InFocus projector to PowerPC G5

[Morgan19]

I have a PowerPC G5, an Apple cinema display, and an InFocus X1 projector. I need to hook the projector up to the Mac and have it display what's on the monitor.

– The G5 tower has DVI, ADC, USB ports (I have a DVI/VGA converter as well)
– The cinema display has USB ports
- The projector has in/out VGA ports, an S-video port, and a USB port

What are my options for connecting the projector to the G5 and have it project while still being able to see what's onscreen? I see Apple has $19 converters on their store site but those seem to be for iMacs with video-out ports.

– Can I connect the projector to the computer or monitor simply with a USB?
– I'm looking for VGA-to-ADC converters– would the Apple store sell such a thing?
– Or maybe something like an S-video to the ADC port would work?

I need the projector set up for Sunday so it's urgent I get this figured out and whatever needs to be purchased purchased ASAP.

Thanks,
m19

No.

If there is, then it must be rare because Apple dropped ADC years ago. You already have the DVI-to-ADC. Use it.

– Or maybe something like an S-video to the ADC port would work?

S-Video is an analog connection that was designed for TV sets. You are barking up the wrong tree even thinking about it.

Look. You have a DVI-to-VGA converter. Rather than running all around Job's barn looking for something else, you should concentrate on making sure that everything works with what you have.
