I would have to disagree in that I prefer "Media Characteristics" over "Processing Options", but could live with either; "Media Description" is too metadata, so -1 here.
As for other wording, "Consists of" to says it's all about slides, but if we have one track with slides and video (changing between slides and speaker), it would not (fully) consist of slides. Maybe "Contains discrete slides/screens"?
