What is a clean feed and a dirty feed?

What insider knowledge would that be?

I'm thinking you already work in TV and just having a bit of fun...

No, they were genuine questions on a topic which I had a vague knowledge of but this thread has greatly strengthened my know-how.

I have worked in TV on and off, but only in a runner capacity - I'm still at college!

I'm just v surprised you could have heard the expression "cans" and not known what it means from the context you heard it...it just sounds unlikely!

"Legalled" Checked by Lawyers prior to TX (Transmission)

"Legalised" When a finished programme is delivered for broadcast an Station Engineer will view it and check it has been legalised.
IE That Bars/Tone/Clocks are correct and more importantly that the programme itself satisfies the technical specifications of vision and sound.

It is likely, trust me. Perhaps it never entered your head that although I did hear the term used in a context related with the sound aspect of a production, I didn't actually know what 'cans' were in a gallery/studio environment

Yup, I capped that image - no doubt you found it over at the PP, I did post it there!

If you would like video to accompany it I've got one, which also includes the preceding ident.

I like the way they've inserted the word 'TWI' into the centre of the clock.

Just looking back at the original question (in terms of comms, not vision) have a listen to this. It's a loop of a couple of minutes running constantly (when the studio aren't using it!). I've edited out the phone number to protect their privacy, but it gives you an idea of what a clean feed / ifb / mix minus for comms is! ...just thought i'd share it with you all!

To be honest if you are just a keen graduate, you're wasting your time hoovering up this kind of peripheral nonsense, you'll learn all this in your first week if you do get a job in a studio...

Give them a break! Where's the harm in asking a few questions about something they have an interest in? It can only create discussion - which is the whole point of a forum?? Any hints / tips / terms might be handy to learn and they can learn other things in the first week instead!

All pretty valueless information I'm afraid, the amount of time you will have saved by knowing the proper meaning of "cans" could be measured in microseconds...
