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.
