The scan converter I borrowed (Sony DSC-1024HD as I recall) took what ever
computer signal I fed into it and dumped it out the composite video jack.
This particular PPT file was primarily a mix of photos with text (similar to
a school yearbook). The video looked clean to me. As I recall, component
out was an option as well (but not for me).
