French term

visionnage en décalé

Non-PRO French to English Tech/Engineering Media / Multimedia television
Hello, what's a term for a way to distinguish from traditional television? Includes tv watching on smart phones, tablets, and computers. Many thanks.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Just seen your reply to Tony M So 'time-shift viewing' then
Delaina (asker) Jun 13, 2019:
delayed viewing? Yes, thank you @Daryo; I agree with your point, and that was my understanding of the term. So i'm searching for a term in English that covers this category - it looks like 'delayed viewing' is used https://www.google.com/search?q=delayed viewing&oq=delayed v... ?
Daryo Jun 12, 2019:
the point of "visionnage en décalé" is that they is a delay / a time-shift between an initial broadcast and the viewing.

If there is no "initial broadcast" then there can't be any kind of viewing "en décalé", so "video on demand" is not "visionnage en décalé", and what is used for "delayed viewing" is irrelevant - the term applies as well to some old B&W TV connected to some VHS recorder as much as it could apply to any modern device, mobile or not.

Astuce(s) :

Attention sur m6 replay, les programmes ne sont disponibles au visionnage en décalé que pour une semaine.

Thanks @Nicolas Gambardella Le Novere I like' mobile television'. I'd come across the term but didn't know it applies to computers as well. And I agree with your point that there's little difference between a modern TV and a computer in any case.
@Clément Pruvot - All these terms are relevant, but I was looking for something more general to refer to all these.
@Tony M yeah I think I need something more digital age.

Thanks all

time-shift viewing

In the "good old days", that's the sort of term we might have used for things like video recording etc.

But you'll need to research to see if there isn't any more recent term that is preferred these days.

'delayed viewing' is to be deprecated, as it sounds like it has a negative connotation; 'time-shift' is certainly the more modern of the 2 terms, implying all the freedom and convenience implied by being able to watch a programme when and where YOU want to; of course, it is extremely unlikely to be BEFORE the broadcast date, but there's no need to involve the idea of 'after', which is moreover not there in the source text — note it is 'décalé' and not 'différé' etc.

Thanks, Daryo! Yes, the methods of delivery have changed, but the principle of 'visionnage en décalé' (i.e. not when originally broadcast) remains the same. The many time zones across the USA were the reason why video recording was invented!

mobile television

I know it does not totally fit your description. However, in terms of technology, it does. "mobile television" even covers the "non-mobile" variation, which would apply to fixed computers.

To be honest, most modern TV monitors ARE computers.

disagree Daryo : step ONE: establish the exact meaning of the term.

replay television/catch-up television/video on demand

Not sure if that's what you are looking for. I immediately thought about those services.

neutral Tony M : Out of all those, only really 'replay television' covers exactly the same notion. But tends to confuse with 'rediffusion'
