Contrat d'ass Production de médias

Définition contractuelle :

Protection Print
means a duplicate copy or digital master of the completed production on any format that is suitable for the intended release of the production.

Exemple d'utilisation dans le contrat :

Damage to any production media for which a satisfactory **protection print** exists shall not result in a loss under this Policy unless the corresponding **protection print** is also damaged.

Question subsidiaire : j'ai de bons glossaires mais pourriez-vous me recommander un dico bilingue pour le domaine télé/cinéma/radio, etc. ?

Merci !

copie de sauvegarde
Explanation:
I think it is unhelpful here to use any literal translation of 'print', since it is clear that this is no more than a left-over from legacy technology, and these days, it is unlikely to be an actual 'print' of any kind.

I believe my suggestion accurately reflects the meaning of the source term, while avoiding aslavishly literal word-for-word translation.

Note: also called a 'safety copy' in EN.

in the film industry, it is not necessary to specify 'print', since the notion is embodied in 'copie' — it simply means it is not the original (usually a 'negative'), and by definition, if it has been 'printed' (however figuratively that may be used), it implies that it is a 'copy' of the original.
