Time reference
I'm translating the audio equivalent of "incrustations" for a corporate video to be followed by the visually-impaired. So when the film shows a bulldozer at work, the "listeners" to the video will hear "Shot of bulldozer working", or when they interview someone, "Close-up of Project Manager Joe Bloggs".
Each of these short texts is prefixed by "AD" followed by a number (e.g. 01.08) which must be a time reference for the video footage.
But what does "AD" actually stand for (and what is the English equivalent)?
TALIA.

audio description
"L'audiodescription est une sorte de sous-titrage[1] adapté aux déficients visuels (non-voyants et malvoyants).
Elle consiste à ajouter sur la bande son d'une production audiovisuelle (télévision ou cinéma) des commentaires vocaux qui en décrivent les éléments visuels (action, décors), afin de la rendre accessible aux déficients visuels sans qu'ils aient à demander l'aide de qui que ce soit.
Au théâtre, le processus est différent. Les audiodescripteurs doivent en effet tenir compte d'autres paramètres, les spécificités cinématographiques n'étant pas les mêmes que les spécificités théâtrales.
Enfin, il existe une forme d'audiodescription destinée aux visiteurs de musées[2]."

"If you struggle to see your favourite television programmes, Audio Description could be for you!
Logo: Audio Description - TV narration for people with sight problems
Audio Description (AD) is a free and existing service that can transform the enjoyment of TV for people who have difficulty seeing what’s happening on the screen.
Like a narrator telling a story, an additional commentary describes body language, expressions and movements, making the story clear through sound. Experience clips of AD for yourself. "

Note from asker:
Great FX! (can I call you "Special"? ;-) ) Thanks a million. There's really no point in not closing this now, but I'll wait the allotted 24h nonetheless. |

: An airworthiness directive is a notification to owners and operators of certified aircraft. Doesn't seem to have much to do with video footage...
