yes we can (and do) do that. It requires more setup time (and the mixer on 
site). But as mentioned before - if the slides have too much detail, you 
won't be able to read them. The issue is

video is typically running at a frame size of 352x288 and most people 
design ppt slides on a PC running say 1024x768. When they make slides with 
lots of detail, the video frame just blurs it.
