Cataloging Video Resources with RDA Workshop: Pt. 1

Editor's Notes

• #5: May be accompanied by sound or not
• #6: may or may not be accompanied by sound
• #7: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy Separate image to each eye Most stereoscopic methods present two offset images separately to the left and right eye of the viewer. These two-dimensional images are then combined in the brain to give the perception of 3D depth. This technique is distinguished from 3D displays that display an image in three full dimensions, allowing the observer to increase information about the 3-dimensional objects being displayed by head and eye movements. .a realistic and immersive simulation of a three-dimensional environment, created using interactive software and hardware, and experienced or controlled by movement of the body
• #10: Pot-GMD supposed to get clean separation of content and carrier, but didn’t quite happen
• #13: Media type is related to carrier not content; no appropriate carrier type under video intermediation; adding video media type is not appropriate
• #14: or portal to collection of streaming videos; don’t use type a record; correct way to bring out continuing resource aspects for non-textual resources is to use 006
• #15: Detour optical discs; this occasionally gets a little tricky; 3 discs usually same size; similar tech but physical differences in application, drive needed
• #17: These are all same physical disc, but not same RDA media and carrier type
• #21: From Kathy Glennan, ALA representative to the RDA Steering Committee, on OLAC-L: The RSC has found this vocabulary problematic for some time. The problems included: long-standing issues such as overlap in category groupings, the ad hoc mix of terms based on file formats, abbreviations, and trademarks, the complete lack of definitions, and issues in the maintenance of currency. This is potentially a huge list, with many synonyms. The RSC determined that there was no easy way to determine and maintain a “most useful” list. The fast track plus proposal noted: "The lack of definitions [in the RDA Glossary] does not appear to have impaired the utility of the RDA instructions for this element, and we think examples are sufficient to maintain such utility." I think that there is no reason not to use the previous "standard" terminology if it is applicable. However, encoding such terms as $2 rda in a 347 would now be inappropriate.

• #25: Green or purple tint; can see are where data was written
• #29: Examples of free software programs that identify disc characteristics
• #41: VLC media player: select tools, codec information Windows media player: Display menu bar (go to library, organize (dropdown list), layout, check “show menu bar”; go to library and select file, properties
• #44: see disc info programs to view DVDs from other regions, purchase region-free player or use region-free software player (VLC is free: http://www.videolan.org/)
• #45: Vocabulary will be added in April Toolkit update Use all regions for variations, such as region 0, region free
• #46: probably don’t know this unless you are provider
• #47: in MARC can repeat elements that have their own fields in 538; some catalogs only display 538
• #54: 2.0 mono = mono; same mono info is sent to two channels
• #56: Only LPCM in RDA vocab
• #61: designations
• #63: 16:9 almost never aspect ratio of file; for widescreen, look for denominator of 1 picture adjust to differently-sized screens better wikipedia link lists various ways that this appears on packaging
• #64: http://hometheaterhifi.com/volume_6_4/feature-article-enhanced-widescreen-november-99.html http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1243481&start=40

• #67: Monochrome = A colour content consisting of tones of one colour, or black and white, or black or white and another colour. Polychrome = A colour content consisting of two colours, neither of which is black or white, or more than two colours.
• #68: Sepia is example of toning (see slide 69)
• #70: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_tinting Film tinting is the process of adding color to black-and-white film, usually by means of soaking the film in dye and staining the film emulsion. The effect is that all of the light shining through is filtered, so that what would be white light becomes light of some color. Film toning is the process of replacing the silver particles in the emulsion with colored, silver salts, by means of chemicals. Unlike tinting, toning colored the darkest areas, leaving the white areas largely untouched.
• #71: Watch out for black frames at end of film
• #72: Mocked-up example for demonstration
• #73: alternate way of recording same data as previous slide
• #79: add 753?
• #81: Give number of players for video games
• #82: See OLAC recommendations for more details may wish to edit publishers’ blurbs or use ellipses to make more neutral
• #84: No period at end of MARC field
• #85: For videos: because connected to language info, usually recorded in 546
• #87: Different technologies Subtitles based only on spoken words Captions include contextual info that people who can’t hear need, such as sound effects and indications of who is speaking if it’s ambiguous
• #89: Language for moving images is complex
• #91: 041$h definition has been expanded to include original language whether or not a translation is involved.
