Audio By Video Vocab

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A system of recording a 60Hz tone - used for syncing on a 1/4 inch tape - developed by Nagra






2. A single extension cord. Most often referred to a single 'hot' extension that is left lying around for occassional use. (Grip/Lighting)






3. Could mean anything. Most commonly used to describe the ADR process or that of duplication






4. A condition of Zero - or (original position for an automation control)






5. A system of recording a 60Hz tone - used for syncing on a 1/4 inch tape - developed by Nagra






6. To copy the diital data off a storage medium in the RAM of a computer






7. The SMPTE time that will trigger a transport to begin - or the amount of position difference needed to get two sources to synchronize






8. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






9. Narrowing the Stereo image to match the image and/or increase the mono-compatibility






10. (reverberant field)






11. (Headroom) The amount of dB between the highest peak level of the program and the overload point (clip point)






12. Placing a microphone in the reverberant field






13. Time data in the MIDI signal that advances one step each 1/24 of a beat and can be used to sync two sequencer together






14. A type of solo circuit that allows listening to a channel before the fader of after (solo)






15. To set and interconnect two mixers so that the stereo mixing buss(es) are linked






16. Pressure zone miking






17. National Association of Broadcasters -






18. A boosting of high frequencies during the recording process to keep the signal above the noise at high frequencies






19. A studio that specializes in assembly of pre-recorded material such as music - VO - and dialogue






20. I don't know! Go do your own research! No - really....






21. Narrowing the Stereo image to match the image and/or increase the mono-compatibility






22. Safety Take (an additional recording done as an acceptable backup)






23. Time data in the MIDI signal that advances one step each 1/24 of a beat and can be used to sync two sequencer together






24. A factor of human hearing where delay has a much bigger effect on the human perception of sound than does amplitude






25. A signal in disc recording that is earlier than the signal being recorded. It allows the operator to 'listen in' in order to anticipate amplitude changes and adjust.






26. Recording video and/or audio in sequence immediately following previous material






27. I don't know! Go do your own research! No - really....






28. National Association of Broadcasters -






29. A type of solo circuit that allows listening to a channel before the fader of after (solo)






30. Safety Take (an additional recording done as an acceptable backup)






31. Pressure zone miking






32. 500 Ohms or less






33. A condition of Zero - or (original position for an automation control)






34. One half byte - 4 information bits






35. In stereo - This is the breakthough between channels measured as separation between the wanted sounds of the desired channel and the unwanted sounds from the second channel. (OR - bleed across multiple channels)






36. The level difference between the signal and the noise and distortion caused by converting analog audio signals into digital audio and then back into analog.






37. In stereo - This is the breakthough between channels measured as separation between the wanted sounds of the desired channel and the unwanted sounds from the second channel. (OR - bleed across multiple channels)






38. Modular Digital Multitrack: A multitrack digital recorder with (usually) 8 tracks that can be run in sunchronization with other machines (of the same type) to attain more tracks. ADAT brand recorders are an example






39. The level difference between the signal and the noise and distortion caused by converting analog audio signals into digital audio and then back into analog.






40. Physical slap-board used to sync location recording. A voice recording at the beginning of a master tape (or recording) to identify the run and take






41. (Headroom) The amount of dB between the highest peak level of the program and the overload point (clip point)






42. Duh! The signal level exceeds the processing capacity of the signal chain components






43. The SMPTE time that will trigger a transport to begin - or the amount of position difference needed to get two sources to synchronize






44. (reverberant field)






45. Natural background audio representative of the given recording environment. (Recorded as over-rolling)






46. A signal in disc recording that is earlier than the signal being recorded. It allows the operator to 'listen in' in order to anticipate amplitude changes and adjust.






47. Rerecording the audio. The picture stays the same.






48. To copy the diital data off a storage medium in the RAM of a computer






49. Recording video and/or audio in sequence immediately following previous material






50. Natural background audio representative of the given recording environment. (Recorded as over-rolling)
