French term

PAD, prêt à diffuser

French to English Tech/Engineering Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
What is the professional equivalent for "PAD"? I am working on a translation related to film/video post-production. See paragraph below for example:

Il gère toute la post-production image et son et sa maîtrise d’œuvre : enregistrement musique, voix (avec casting), doublage, bruitage (électronique et Foley’s), mixage stéréo et 5.1, laybacks, montage, habillage et trucage, générique, copies et PAD. Equipé TV HD. Télécinéma 35/16/super 8 mm. Spécialiste des programmes d’animation.

My other feeling is it is a software program, or some tool to prepare video.

This is the specialist jargon for the technical activity. Ready to air tends to be used more for marketing. The equivalent of PAD is RTB. RTA is not found (well, OK 1 hit on Google).
