Abstract
The present invention includes a multimedia projection system coupling apparatus having a coupling converter for interconnecting at least one multimedia source and a multimedia projection display system. The coupler system includes at least two source cables that extend from the multimedia source and carry to the coupling converter media signals corresponding to different media, such as video and system control. The coupling converter delivers corresponding media signals to a projector terminal from which a projector cable extends to the projection display system. In the preferred embodiment, the coupling converter includes signal format conversion circuitry for converting each media signal or its component to a differential signal format, and the projector cable preferably includes a separate twisted pair of wires for carrying each of the differential format signals.
