Spanish term
imagen brizada
Spanish to English
Tech/Engineering
Media / Multimedia
This appears in a document relating to coverage of television signals in Nicaragua describing the quality of picture received. For translation to US English.
Cobertura buena: Señal recibida con intensidad de campo en el rango entre 40 - 60 dBµV, imagen clara, buen audio, degradación perceptible/imperceptible.
Cobertura regular: Señal recibida con intensidad de campo en el rango de 30 - 40 dBµV, señal débil con ***imagen brizada***, perceptiblemente molesta pero aceptable.
When I google this combination of words, I get only four results so I was wondering if it was a typo. But then I discovered in DRAE that it means acunar- to rock. Not sure what the best translation is - wobby, distorted..... TAI

snowy image
I think this might actually come from a misspelling of "brisar", i.e., to drizzle.
brisar.
I. 1. intr. impers. Ho, Ni, Cu, RD, Co:NE; PR, p.u; Ve, pop. Caer lluvia menuda y pasajera, lloviznar.
2. Co, Ve. Ventear suavemente.

In the old days of analogue TV, under certain conditions of poor reception, we would call it "snow" when we received images that were not distorted per se, but just looked as if there was a kind of layer of drizzle or falling snow over them. Other types of poor reception include "ghosting" and "flicker", as far as I can remember, since I rarely see this kind of interference with digital sets.

| Thanks Robert, I did originally wonder if it was a typo. Think I may need to flag it up as something to check with the client. |

fuzzy
I couldn't find a translation of this term but when a signal is bad we usually talk about a 'fuzzy' image.

slightly distorted
Me gustó tu idea pero por lo que dice, distorted sería demasiado ya que dice que es aceptable, por eso agregaría "slightly"...
