Home Theater with iMac

[sammyman]

I am trying to hook up two theater rooms and include front row from my iMac. Is this possible? I don't want the theater rooms controlled by the iMac, but to be able to listen to some music, and look at photos/videos would be nice. Something tells me this is a dream, but if it is possible, please give me some advice! Thanks.

Without knowing the specifics of your set up, I'm not 100% what to tell you but if I am thinking right, the iMacs with Front Row should have a mini-DVI output port that you can buy an S-Video adapter for and therefore link into your theater, assuming, of course, your TV/Projector has an S-Video input. From the computer, you can hook up an S-Video splitter and run two cords to each individual TV/Projector.

Theoretically, this should work but whether it actually does, I have no idea.
