Way-old technology.  Called a "slide recorder", used to put PowerPoint
presentations on 35mm, suceeded by LCD jobbies you placed on an overhead
projector, then ubiquitous of computer-projectors.

There's one on ebay closing today, unbidded, $1k opener, unknown reserve bid. Original list price: $14,000. It has a GPIB [HP, aka IEEE-488] interface on
it, which should give you some idea of its age.

Kind of expensive for a consumer device. I also don't know how big it is, but eBay has an Agfa recorder (not sure if it's the same type you're talking about) and it is HUGE. As a consumer device, it would have to be small and fairly inexpensive to get any attention.
