Abstract

This invention provides a data storage output apparatus that includes an input component, plural output components, a storage component and a conversion component. The input component inputs data. The plural output components output data in different respective data formats. The storage component stores data in an intermediate format, which can be converted to data formats required by the respective plural output components. The conversion component converts the data stored in the storage component to a data format corresponding to the output component and outputs the data to the output component.
