Tech/Engineering - Media / Multimedia / annual report for Flemish (outside) broadcasting group
Dutch term or phrase: captatie
Context:
In het kader van **captatieopdrachten** sluit de vennootschap op regelmatige basis ruilovereenkomsten af waarbij naast de specifieke vergoeding in geldmiddelen voor de verstrekte TV-diensten tevens de uitzendrechten worden ontvangen.

Is this a TV broadcasting jargon word literally translating as capturing but meaning live recording and transmission [of events]?

Thanks in advance

Hi Dave,

Both links below will show that indeed 'captatie' refers to capturing a live event on video. One link will show you a play being taped, the next one is about the professional truck of a company called a 'captatiewagen'. It does not have to be news-related, the term is general. The term is mostly used in Belgium. A translation into English might be for instance 'live (news) report'.
