British dupe negative

Homework / test English to Arabic Tech/Engineering Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
The following excerpt is taken from a DVD bonus audio commentary where image restoration techniques are being discussed.

"This is a shot from a British dupe negative and it had a very bad tear in it here. The British dupe negative quality
isn't very good because it's many generations
down from the original."

I really can't find anything anywhere, I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

نسخة نيجاتيف انجليزية

نسخة نيجاتيف أبيض وأسود

أعتقد أن انجليزية أو بريطانية هنا هي لأسباب تاريخية وليس لأسباب فنية فعلى حد علمي لا توجد نسخ نيجاتيف باسم جنسية معينة ولكن المعروف أن الانجليز كانوا روادا في عمل نسخ النيجاتيف 35 ملم بالأبيض والأسود كما قام الأمريكان بدورهم في نفس المجال، ولذلك أميل لإغفال كلمة بريطانية أو انجليزية واستبدالها بالأبيض والأسود إشارة إلى البعد التاريخي والله اعلم

DUPE NEGATIVE: A duplicate negative, made from a master positive by printing and development or from an original negative by printing followed by reversal development.

agree Nesrin : I wouldn't confuse British with English -ever. It should be translated بريطانية. It may just be related to the context. THey may be talking about a negative that was merely produced in Britain.

disagree Couac (X) : British dupe negative means that it is the copy of the master positive for Britain, i.e. not produced in Britain.

some information

Some information to help find the Arabic translation:

This site indicates that dupe negatives is short for "duplicate negatives" www.afc.gov.au/downloads/policies/fu sub_final.pdf

And this site defines duplicate negative as: duplicate negative
A negative reproduced from a negative or diapositive."
(Sorry Ziad, my @#@$#@# wireless mouse has stopped working! I can't move back to the site I am quoting to get the link!! I hope the info was useful anyway!

A more detailed explanation:

DUPLICATE (DUPE) NEGATIVE

A negative film produced by printing from a positive. It is used to produce prints. These prints are duplicates of prints that might be made from the original negative. A negative, usually struck from a fine grain positive print, generally used to make multiple reproductions of prints. A dupe negative preserves the original negative from damage during the process of creating more prints. A "composite duplicate negative" carries both image and sound in synchronization.
