Re: basic technical terms
by Kenton VanNatten (Kenton.VanNatten) on Jun 27, 2008 at 5:51:15 pm

Conforming (does this have different meanings?)

Possibly, but I've always known it to mean either Onlining or prepping for Film Out

Laybacks = Dubs
Playouts = similar to Dub, but probably to some on-air device
Transcoding = to convert video from one format to another
Cadence = Film to video/video to film term (see "Pulldown")
Stringouts = rough assembly seq usually to establish a rough storyboard - popular with RealityTV to allow producers to see story
Drivers - computer term

Now are you asking because you're trying to get a job and the ad they have posted says "Must possess knowledge of Conforming, Laybacks, Playouts, Transcoding, .... "

It just sounds like an odd mix of terminology to be unfamiliar with - some are related, others are from left field and I'm just trying to understand the context of your question.
