French term or phrase: DUB
In a description of a film for television.
"Une Beta numérque 16/9 + une bande de secours identique (1 PAD + 1 DUB)"
I think "PAD" = "prêt à diffuser"
But what is DUB?

agree  Transitwrite: sounds highly likely as it is mentioned just before the brackets- DUB for DUplicata Bande?

  -> Thank you Sharon !
neutral  xxxmediamatrix: When I read that glossary's definition of 'Binary' (and other horrors...) I see little reason to believe its definition of 'DUB'.

agree  Tony M: I share M/M's qualms, but at the same time, this seems to be referring to the duplicate safety copy as defined just before.
