Keyer Explanation: A device which inserts data into the video bit stream based upon a supplied key signal. The data can be video/audio overlay, or broadcast data synthé intervenant would be speaker keyer inserts (or something along that line since it's usually the name and function that are inserted) ...And it does make sense that it should be keyer since I remember being taught it was called synthé because it was similar to the keyboard musicians played....

peer agreement (net): +1| synthé capgen Explanation: This is one equivalent expression that has been used (though I don't know if it's the most current jargon!) — standing for 'caption generator' (back in the good old days, likely to be an Aston!) However, I still have reservations: it seems odd why they refer to this 'principe'; and although it's not easy to really see exactly what this document is covering, I find it hard to see why they would be going into quite this level of detail at this point. Unless they are perhaps saying that this 'principe' is some kind of 'template' or master design to be used for these captions... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 jours16 heures (2011-05-02 08:08:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Of course, in these days of 'virtual news studios', we mustn't rule out the possibility that this 'synthé' is in fact referring to a complete, synthesized virtual studio 'set' — this could be consistent with the 2 types of synthé used here, which in that case I would understand as the virtual set for the main newsreader (for example), and that used as a background for people who are brought in for interviews etc. I think there is sufficient risk of ambiguity that the only safe solution is probably to confirm with the client. |
