Interesting. Here's the full TWICE story:

Optoma Technology ships this month a combination DLP projector and DVD 
player, which is designed to filter the air as it presents DVD movies.

The MovieTime DV 10 ($1,499 suggested retail) is positioned as a 
low-cost alternative for either home theater or corporate data projector 
applications.

It delivers very bright 480p video images, and includes built-in, 5-watt 
high-fidelity speakers and a DVD player.

In addition to playing images, the unit incorporates an 
O2Air-Photocatalysis feature, which uses ultra-violet light given off by 
the projector bulb to purify surrounding room air. The system creates 
strong oxidizers called hydroxide radicals. Contaminants react with the 
oxidizers and are broken down into harmless compounds, Optoma said.

Otto Kong, Optoma Technology's chairman, said the system will kill 
airborne bacteria and molds, break down smoke into carbon dioxide and 
deodorize the air.

Because the DVD player offers a direct digital path to the DLP chip, 
480p images from a DVD disc are presented without distortion from 
analog-to-digital conversion, Optoma said.

Pictures are said to be displayed with high color accuracy. 
Additionally, the system eliminates the numerous problems that can arise 
in matching DVD cables with the best input on the projector.

New “ImageAI” circuitry is included to adjust brightness intensity to 
produce both accurate bright images and deep black levels.

To optimize performance for both home theater and data applications, 
Optoma uses a new seven-segment color wheel which spins a 4x rate.

The MovieTime includes a short-throw lens (4.9 feet to 32.8 feet 
projection distance) to enable easy tabletop setup in any room in a 
house. Image size can be adjusted from 36-inches to 335-inches. The unit 
weighs 7.8 pounds.

An optical audio output is included to allow connection to multichannel 
A/V receivers and home theater systems for up to 7.1-channel Dolby 
Digital or DTS surround sound reproduction.

In addition to the high-performance integrated speakers, Optoma will 
offer an optional subwoofer to match with the system.
