Hi Guys,
I need to get a VGA signal from the Nav Station in my boat to the
monitor in the bridge. I could just run a VGA cable (about 4m worth)
but I need to pass the cable through some small holes for the looming
(sp?) and the DB15 connectors wont fit unless I make the hole bigger.
I am thinking about running the VGA singal over CAT5e, which a Google
search seems to suggest is possible. I was wondering if anyone had any
better ideas, keeping costs fairly low.
You have lots of replies to this already, but just curious as to whether
you've considered instead putting a small laptop in your "bridge" and using
remote desktop or vnc to control your "Nav Station" (assuming its a standard
pc). You could even go wireless and avoid the need for cable runs all
together.
