I have iMac G5. Need VGA adaptor for display port.

I have an old iMac Power Mac G5 8.2. I need a VGA adapter for display port so we can use it in our TV studio in my elementary school. What kind do I need to get?

Mini-DVI and mini-display don't fit.

G5, Mac OS X (10.4.7)

2nd Display Support:

Mirroring Only*

2nd Max. Resolution:

1024x768*

Details:

Apple reports that this system has a "VGA output port for video mirroring on an external display or projector", and supports output resolutions of "640 x 480 pixels at 60Hz, 800 x 600 pixels at 75Hz and 1024 x 768 pixels at 75Hz".

However, the hardware is capable of using an external display in dual or "extended desktop mode", Apple just blocked the capability in firmware to protect sales of more expensive Macs. Unsupported third-party hacks are available.

The port is actually Mini-VGA...
