Shanghai, June 19 — In an unprecedented cultural collaboration, Pudong Art Museum in Shanghai has partnered with the renowned Musée d’Orsay in Paris to present the landmark exhibition Making Modernity: Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay. This extraordinary showcase features more than 100 French masterpieces spanning from the 1840s to the early 20th century, representing the largest Orsay exhibition ever mounted in China. Since its opening, the exhibition has attracted over 250,000 visitors, establishing itself as a cultural phenomenon.

To amplify the reach of this cultural milestone beyond physical boundaries, SMG’s True Picture Media collaborated with Pudong Art Museum to launch an ambitious 120-minute livestreamed guided tour. The comprehensive program featured a skilled presenter alongside two distinguished expert commentators, offering audiences an immersive exploration of curatorial themes and profound artistic significance. The response was overwhelming: nearly 400,000 viewers participated in the live experience, with enthusiastic commentary flooding the chat. One viewer captured the sentiment perfectly: “I never realized the transition from classicism to modernism could be explained so clearly and compellingly.”

Navigating the Complex Challenges of Live Art Broadcasting

Broadcasting an art exhibition presents unique technical and logistical challenges that distinguish it from conventional live productions. Gallery lighting creates uneven illumination conditions that challenge camera sensors. Strict conservation protocols limit equipment placement and movement within exhibition spaces. Additionally, a continuous two-hour live broadcast demands exceptional equipment stability and extended battery performance. These constraints pale in comparison to the ultimate requirement: absolute fidelity in visual reproduction.

Color accuracy and fine detail preservation are non-negotiable elements in art broadcasting. Even minimal signal degradation or the slightest compromise in image quality can fundamentally undermine the viewing experience, destroying the delicate nuances that define great artworks.

To overcome these formidable challenges, the production team deployed the TVU One mobile live video transmitter—a decision that proved instrumental to the broadcast’s success. The system’s advanced multi-network aggregation capability, combined with TVU’s patented IS+ transmission protocol, delivered uninterrupted, broadcast-quality video transmission despite the complex museum environment.

The intelligent HEVC encoding technology minimized bandwidth requirements while maintaining pristine HD visual quality, even under suboptimal connectivity conditions. The backpack design’s exceptional portability and extended power capacity enabled the production crew to move fluidly throughout the gallery spaces, capturing every artwork with remarkable detail and authenticity.

Masterpieces Transformed for Digital Audiences

The livestream successfully brought renowned works to life for online audiences with unprecedented clarity. From Meissonier’s historically significant The French Campaign of 1814 to Courbet’s emotionally powerful The Wounded Man (Self-Portrait) and Van Gogh’s iconic The Bedroom, each masterpiece was transmitted in broadcast-grade quality. This technical excellence allowed remote audiences to experience the artworks with nearly the same visual impact as in-person visitors.

The digital reach dramatically exceeded physical attendance metrics. While the exhibition has welcomed 250,000 in-person visitors to date, the single livestream event attracted nearly 400,000 concurrent viewers—demonstrating the exponential potential of hybrid cultural experiences. The overwhelmingly positive audience interaction and enthusiastic feedback validated the success of this innovative “online + offline” approach.

More significantly, this achievement demonstrated live video technology’s transformative potential as a powerful vehicle for cultural engagement and global art accessibility.

Expanding Horizons: The Convergence of Art and Technology

By successfully transmitting the Musée d’Orsay’s treasured collection to audiences thousands of miles away, TVU One accomplished more than solving complex technical broadcasting challenges in sensitive museum environments. The technology opened unprecedented possibilities for global art dissemination, cultural exchange, and democratic access to world-class exhibitions.

This remarkable success reinforces TVU’s established reputation for reliability and professional excellence in high-stakes, technically demanding scenarios. For cultural institutions, content creators, and broadcasters worldwide, TVU One represents more than sophisticated professional equipment—it embodies a guarantee that world-class content reaches global audiences with uncompromising clarity, complete authenticity, and maximum impact.

Through TVU technology’s innovative capabilities, art transcends geographical boundaries and temporal constraints. Culture becomes truly accessible anytime, anywhere, transforming how we experience and share humanity’s greatest artistic achievements.
