QNAP Partners with Bronze Visual Art to Document Cultural Relics in 8K UHD for the National Palace Museum

QNAP® Systems, Inc. provided Bronze Visual Art with an 8K UHD backup solution dedicated to A New Vision of National Treasures, the documentary film sponsored by the National Palace Museum in 2020. The works documented in A New Vision of National Treasures include the famous Jadeite Cabbage and Meat-Shaped Stone, the classic of Qing Dynasty Tibetan Buddhism—the Tibetan Dragon Sutra and the Three Treasures of the National Palace Museum—Travellers Among the Mountains and Streams of Fan Kuan, Guo Xi’s Beginning of Spring and the Whispering Pines of Myriad Valleys by Li Tang of the Song Dynasty.

Bronze Visual Art adopts 8K UHD (7680 x 4320), which is the highest resolution defined in Rec. 2020 (UHDTV), to film A New Vision of National Treasures. Every detail of the cultural relics was thus presented to the eyes of the world. For example, the signature is blurred on the surface in Fan Kuan’s Travelers Among Mountains and Streams; however, even an insignificant crack became clear to direct visual observations at 8K UHD resolution. Bronze Visual Art has brought the world a deeper insight into the beauty of national treasures.

8K UHD filming and post-production absolutely requires high-capacity, high-speed backup. Bronze Visual Art entrusted its work to a QNAP TS-h1283XU-RP professional NAS, equipped with a 10 GbE network expansion card and QM2-2P-384 PCIe cards for M.2 NVMe SSD. The QNAP TS-h1283XU-RP uses the ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system and enables data deduplication/compression for backup and post-production efficiency. As for hard drives, Seagate IronWolf Pro hard drives for NAS and IronWolf 510 SSD were chosen to provide Bronze Visual Art with an even more reliable, 24/7 backup environment.

“The constitution of digital archives is the significant outcome of the industrial transformation of the art industry. It is the greatest honor for QNAP to be part of this incredible achievement. We are happy to see the well-preserved national treasures with the TS-h1283XU-RP and 10GbE high-speed network. said Teddy Kuo, President of QNAP.
