Technical Direction Company (TDC) has brought a Sydney landmark into the limelight with its festive animated projections.

Using large-format video projection technology, St Mary’s Cathedral offers a nighttime kaleidoscope of colour.

The 75-metre cathedral’s facade has become a canvas for 17 million-pixel animated images, the artworks created with 264,000 lumens of projected light.

To process these high-definition images, TDC hardware uses two terabytes of content management, 48 cores of processing and 144 gigabytes of RAM.

The projections can be controlled remotely, and the projectors can be switched on and off or have their climate control activated from a remote device.

“TDC projection video designers created special code and electronics so that the entire system is ‘virtually wired’ and controllable using an iPad device,” said Michael Hassett, managing director at TDC. “Remote monitoring is something TDC has been perfecting for a number of years. It allows for rapid programming, fixes issues remotely in real-time, uses a CCTV camera on-site to see what’s happening and allows scheduling of different shows and operation of each days events.”

Event content, original content and production is provided by AGB Events as part of the Lights of Christmas, a public celebration at St Mary's Cathedral.
