I work in a theater and currently we have some large panels in the air which we are getting static electric shocks from them almost constantly; and while its not much than a nuisance, we’re all curious about whats happening. The panels are approx 20 feet tall and 9 feet wide and framed with steel and are completely covered with a thin, loosely woven cotton cloth (You can see through it pretty easily). The panels hang from a suspended track in the grid and are free to swing a little. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I have seen DVI to HDMI, but I’m curious if you can convert DVI (like from a computer) to s-video, composite (RCA), or component. I have seen some component adapters but they are only for certain ATI video cards.

I’m curious because I want to build a Home Theater PC and the motherboard I like has DVI and HDMI, but I do not have a DVI or HDMI tv, only an HDTV with svideo, composite, and component. Thanks!

Does this sound right? I use optical cable from tv to a RCA RTD317W home theater system w/ a built-in dvd player, xbox to the tv with HDMI, Computer to tv using VGA, The RCA to projector with HDMI. Am I missing anything? Also is there a way to switch between the component that will play on the projector and through the speakers? The reason why I as is I recently bought a sony dvd home theater system and i could only view video when a dvd was playing on the projector. When I would change to the tv or xbox it did not play on the projector and I couldn’t figure out how to get it to so I returned it.

My computer monitor has a HDMI port but i doubt i can just connect a HDMI cable from my PS3 and to my monitor.. So I would need a HDMI to DVI cable right? And how would i connect my speakers to my PS3 for sound?

Im looking for speakers for my dorm room that include tweeters and a subwoofer. I want to connect these speakers to my ipod and not a home theatre system. I don’t want speakers too powerful either where I would have to buy an amp. Im looking to spend around $100.

Please include specific models and how I could connect them to an ipod thanks.
