hi David cats man from CNET here and I'm at CES 2018 with Optima these guys make projectors and they're coming out with the first projector that's compatible with Alexa so if you have an Amazon Alexa speaker like an echo or dot you can talk to it and use different commands to control the projector right now they directly support power input change and volume there's also support more advanced functions like picture modes or even changing the smoothness of the setting and they're saying that soon they're gonna come out with the ability to integrate with Amazon scenes for example you can have the projector turn on and then the lights dim and even the screen raise and lower or turn on your whole entertainment system in the future to enable this functionality you got to install a skill using the Alexa app on your phone and then once that's installed the projector itself doesn't need any additional hardware to get it to work beyond the voice stuff is the 4k resolution projector it's got an RGB RGB color wheel that's new the projector also supports HDR content and it's got a nice 1.3 X zooms you can get a little bit of range moving it back and forth on the screen you're watching it now on a 100 inch screen innovations screen that's actually Alexa controllable by itself you can raise and lower the screen itself with your voice Optima also includes a media player so you can play HDR and 4k content by plugging in a USB stick and of course it'll work with pretty much any 4k HDR device you plug in via HDMI Optimus says the UHD 51a is gonna come out later in April just $1700 I'm David Katz Mayer at CES 2018
