The Prado Museum, in Ultra High Definition at 4K

RTVE will produce a documentary with 4K technology, capable of capturing with complete rigor the volumes, textures and colors, which will allow everyone who watches it to know exactly and in detail the collections that are exhibited in one of the most important museums in the world.

This Thursday an agreement was signed between RTVE and the Prado Museum to carry out the Madrid art gallery's first documentary in Ultra High Definition.

The project, in which they will also participate Hispasat, Abertis Telecom, Apointlapospo y Ovid, will present in 50 minutes the history of the museum and the works of art it houses.

The documentary will be recorded in Ultra High Definition (UHD) at 4K resolution, which multiplies by four the number of pixels on an HD screen, offering a resolution four times higher than conventional high definition. This extraordinarily improves the sharpness of the image and offers the user a much more immersive experience and a very high perception of quality.

This documentary in 4K technology, capable of capturing volumes, textures and colors with complete rigor, will allow everyone who watches it to learn exactly and in detail about the collections that are exhibited in one of the most important museums in the world.
