Rockwell Collins has completed the acquisition of Christie Digital Systems’ Matrix series projector product lines, the company announced on 25 February.

The Matrix series of projectors complements Rockwell Collins’ other offerings such as the ProSim ultra contrast projector and EP-8100 image generator.
