I'm in the process of designing AV specs for meeting rooms in a community facility that because of budgetary reasons will probably be progressively implemented over the next few years.
There is no question in my mind that the backbone of signal distribution from sources to projector will be digital since that is how everything is heading.
The question becomes how long are users going to expect to find a VGA plug to connect their laptop with?
If this does not install for another 3- 4 years say, and there is an installed PC as a fallback option, do I need to make allowance for VGA?
Digitial distribution can all be done quite nicely over shielded Cat6, so to have to find VGA baluns and run dedicated NanoSkew or the like is an unappealing prospect...
