C100: Video Out only HDMI?

It just struck me that sometimes I connect a camera to a projector via a long RCA \ VGA \ Phono or whatever you want to call it, cable whilst event filming. Is there any type of cable that I can use to do the same thing with the C100? I am guessing not..
 
To answer my own question is seems a 30m HDMI cable is probably the best bet and hope the projector has a HDMI connection.

30m is too long, you need a signal relay for every 10m.

If the projector doesn't have HDMI port, you can easily find adapters that convert HDMI to VGA or DVI.
 
There's also options to run HDMI through Cat-5 networking cable, plus HDMI Repeaters that Marvin mentions.

If you're doing it professionally and regularly, you may wish to investigate converting the C100's HDMI to HD-SDI and running a 75 Ohm Co-ax cable run which does 30m with ease. We're not talking cheapie cable, though. Proper brand name broadcast specified Co-ax with decent BNC connectors.
 
If the projector doesn't have HDMI input, couldn't you use the C100s AV Out connector (at the bottom front next to the start/stop button) as the projector probably would have a composite AV input?
I have never tried it, but I'm assuming a 3.5mm to x3 RCA cable for less than $5 would do the job.
