Two into One

I have an InFocus 4805 with an M1-DA conector on the rear. I have a Denon 1910 that outputs DVI and I also have a PC that output's VGA. I have the supplied Infocus adaptor that changes the VGA into M1-DA and a Lindy Adaptor that changes DVI into M1-DA. The problem is I only have one M1-DA connection ? Does anyone know if a company makes a two into one M1-DA switcher ? At the moment I have to change the lead when I want a different source

You're other option would be to get a VGA to DVI (or upgrade your graphics card) and then use a DVI switch which might be cheaper than the M1-DA (what connector is that?)...

Thanks for your help, the m1-da is the connector on the back of my In-Focus projector. Even if i did convert the vga to dvi I'd still have two dvi's that need to go to one m1-da ?

Jedi, if you converted your VGA to DVI and ran both DVI feeds through a switch box you'd then be able to use your existing DVI to M1-DA to take the output from the switch into the projector...

Have a search around for DVI switches...
