4.16 For each feature that transmits, converts or records a pre-recorded time-based media with an audio description, is at the end of the process the audio description correctly preserved?

Test 1 (4.16.1)

1. Identify the features for transmitting, converting or recording time-based media. For example: send content to another terminal or by email, convert an .avi format video into an .mpg format, record a video from a broadcasting platform on your personal computer.
2. Perform each of the features (send, convert and record).
3. For each feature, check whether audio description
   • is present
   • can be activated;
   • is correctly synchronised:
     • the sounds and words of the audio description do not overlap with those of the original soundtrack and do not cause perception and comprehension problems;
     • the information conveyed in the audio description is given at the same time as the equivalent visual information appears.
4. If this is the case, the test is validated.
