Abstract: In accordance with certain embodiments of the present invention, an apparatus can display a presentation to an audience while archiving the presentation for future use. This result can be achieved by using a multimedia hub having an optical platen with a first and a second surface, an internal imager positioned below the second surface of the optical platen to image indicia on the first surface of the optical platen, a converter for converting the image from the internal imager to a plurality of video formats, and a plurality of outputs ports connected to the converter, each output port providing a respective video format. The indicia can include any writing, whether printed on paper, transparency film, or printed directly on the first surface of the optical platen.
