One of the most eagerly anticipated topics surrounding this year’s conference was without doubt the recent news that Christie Digital Systems had acquired coolux GmbH.

"The timing of our third coolux connect conference was a great coincidence. Obviously we are looking forward to answering all possible questions at the upcoming ISE, but at the same time it was wonderful to be able to meet so many of our international customers right after the acquisition had been announced. All our activities are continuing as normal. This new situation means however, that we will be able to create a synergy between the two companies that will enable us to develop more effective products more rapidly. "
