Digital Fabric and Fuse Communication South Africa have utilized
Christie cutting-edge projection in the renovation of the legendary
De Beers ‘Big Hole’ – described as the world’s deepest man-made
hole – in Kimberley, South Africa.
The highlight is the use of audio-visual effects to simulate the
underground experience, and the first deployment of the Christie
HD8K projector (which is also the first-ever native HD resolution 3-chip
projector). A spectacular upgraded rough diamond display, a viewing
platform and interactive audio-visual displays all serve to enhance the
visitor experience.
Digital Fabric were appointed as AV consultants after working in a
similar capacity on the Cradle of Humankind project and striking up
a good relationship with the design company Fuse Communication
which continued into the Kimberley project. They were tasked with
designing all the AV systems (including the underground element).
Final surround sound specifications were decided by a team
comprising Fuse Communication, Digital Fabric, and AV contractors
Sonic Factory and Tadco.
