Unhappy Outputting signal to 3 TV sets and 1 projector... HOW?!

Hello...
Totally new to these forums, but hopefully someone can help me!

I'm going to be VJing using a Mac G4 Powerbook, 'Motion Dive .Tokyo' software and the 'Motion Dive .Tokyo' console.
I literally took the Motion Dive gear out of the box yesterday, so I am completely new to this!

I want to split the video signal to 1 projector and 3 television sets.
So that's 4 devices.

What cables/connectors do I need to do this?
My laptop can output to VGA or S-Video.
Do I need a video splitter or something?!

Also, what kind of connections will the TV sets have to have at the back in order to hook them up?

Thanks in advance!
Alex

Radio shack sells a distribution amp, basically has S-vid and composite outs, 1 in 4 outs, so you would send your signal to the distribution amp, and then to the tv either through s-vid or composite, same with the projector.

We do it with a signal from v4 to video amp, one to projector then one feed to a video player via scart, then to one telly and a splitter to another telly from the aerial socket of tv one, works well dunno if its the done thing tho!
