Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): mchd, Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion

Tony M Sep 17, 2019:
@ Daryo As I said, I strongly suspect it is indeed company-specific jarong — and by the sound of it, not terribly appropriate, if Asker's explanation of the supposed meaning is correct.
No doubt more of the wider context would help us to understand if they are simply describing the problem, or proposing a solution (of which various options do exist).
In particualr, it may depend on whether these are direct-view LED walls, or composite LCD-type panels?
Daryo Sep 17, 2019:
there are no ghits whatsoever for "cold seam" related to "video walls"; plenty for "seam" but none for "cold seam", nor for "hot seam" related to "video walls";

either a totally new concept, or some company specific lingo.

Cold seam - Black line that can appear between two panels - if that is the defintion, wouldn't that simply be "visible/noticeable seams"? => "raccords visibles"?

Might this be relevant? https://www.actis.co.in/make-seams-gaps-video-wall-vanish
"While the use of thin bezel displays is becoming popular for video walls, the visible gap between neighbouring LCD panels can still be a problem when the viewing distances are small.

DNP recently introduced InvisiBezel to tackle this by “optically” reducing the gap to 1mm – which creates a virtually seamless viewing experience. This is an optical front cover which can be mounted on top of most popular 46” super-narrow-bezel LCD panels (from leading manufacturers such as Samsung, Toshiba, Panasonic and NEC).

The edges consist of prisms that optically stretch the pixels near the edge of the LCD panel (see image below), and has the effect of concealing the bezel/gap. As a secondary benefit, it also protects the LCD panels from damage due to scratches."

raccord

I can only offer a partial answer for the moment, but just wanted to say that in video wall technology, the word for a 'join' or 'seam' is a 'raccord'.

I have still to research the FR terminology for the 'cold' and 'hot' types (I believe it means whether the image goes right to the very edde or not).

When you say 'white lines', are you suggesting this is because of overlapping and hence double illumination?
Note from asker:
@Tony, thanks it refers to white or black lines when the panels are either too close or distant. So ligne blanche/noire cando, but I am wondering if there is a trade name for these defects.

disagree Daryo : a Termium entry for a concept you can't yet find AT ALL on the web? That would be a really quick update of a glossary!!!

Thanks Michael
disagree Tony M : Not relevant to this context. Yes, as a video engineer, I can definitely confirm that part of it, and readily Google-able; the hot/cold part seems to be more company-specific here.

Given the Asker's comment on your answer, it does look as though it is not about the glazing strip type of joints.
disagree mchd : un four ou une douche, ce n'est pas le contexte !

Nothing like jumping on the bandwagon! I'd already noted to Tony that it now appears not to be a glazing strip, but it was previously a possibility.
disagree Daryo : "video wall"?
