roll-in

Gradual shower approach

Roll-in refers to an entrance or transition that's smooth and easy, often describing accessibility features like a roll-in shower designed for wheelchair users.

In broadcasting and video production, a roll-in is pre-recorded footage played during a live program: We'll do a roll-in of the interview segment.

The term can also describe someone arriving casually or late: His roll-in at noon surprised no one.
