Have you researched BrightCom technology. There is not need to convert the data. You can share the content and your video from a single appliance inside your firewall to many endpoints across your network or through the web using a browser. If you would like to discuss this further you can call me at 877.483.9737.

A VC system and TV/Projector and the content on another PC and projector? Can you describe it more? What are some ways that you’re using this in the classroom?

After that, we stuck with the tried and true method of scan converters for years.
Quality has become an issue, however, since the video is getting compressed, and in the end, doesn’t look as good as it could.
For the last year we’ve been using gotomeeting to broadcast our PC content, and the quality is top notch. Gotomeeting basically provides the exact same services as Webex, although it is waaaay cheaper. Try broadcasting content that way – it saves the headache of setting up a scan converter last second, and is much higher quality. The only main caveat is that full motion video (dvds, youtube, etc.) does not transmit that way.
