Opening Mass for Jubilee of Mercy Broadcast in Ultra HD

The opening Mass for the Jubilee of Mercy and the opening of the Holy Door

at St. Peter’s Basilica, held Dec. 8, was seen around the world in

unprecedented clarity thanks to an overhaul of the video equipment used by

Vatican Television Centre (CTV). This created an “immersive experience”

which captured, delivered and displayed the images in a way that is as close

to the performance of the human eye as possible. The Knights of Columbus

donated the original broadcasting truck, and in October it provided a major

$250,000 sponsorship to assist in the upgrade that

allowed for 4K/Ultra HD broadcasting. The Knights

of Columbus also underwrote the restoration of the

Holy Door in preparation for its last opening during

the Jubilee Year 2000. A replica of the door is a part

of the Saint John Paul II National Shrine’s

permanent exhibit, at which a “Vigil of Mercy” was

held Dec. 7.
