Spanish term or phrase: un flash repicado
Spain to U.S. English, television production:

"en el programa se usa un flash repicado con todas las preguntas escogidas"
garabato
English translation:flash accompanied by a buzzer
Explanation:
If this is a description of a quiz show it seems to imply one of those screens that come up flashing the answer or question chosen.


"repicado" normally implies a bell ringing. I'd need more context to have a better idea what is under discussion here.

Even Copernicus failed to come up with anything better on this one!

Hope this helps. Or a translator with experience in the TV industry gives you the exact phrase.

stinger breakdown of questions


Explanation:
The only thing I can find for *flash* in English, in the context of TV, is a *stinger*:

A stinger is a brief summary, rundown, breakdown, of upcoming items on a program

Repicar, along with *ring*, *peal*, as in bells, means: to chop up, into fine pieces.

Explanation:
I agree with Berni -- one screen shot would answer the question definitively. Meanwhile, here\\\'s another semi-educated guess, based in part on the fact that \\\"repicado\\\" appears to modify \\\"flash\\\" (rather than the selected questions).

\\\"The program uses a flash and a buzzer [to introduce] a screen showing all the selected questions\\\"
