[QuadList] Assemble edits vs Insert edits (wasOMG!!!!)

[Bill Carpenter]

All I know is that the first Olympics that I worked, was in Mexico City in 68, and I was working with the Philippines, ABS/CBN, who were recording Wrestling on VR-7800's in monochrome, then air shipping tapes back to Manila, and building a longer show with the VR-7800 slo-motion. 
I had worked in May of 1968, in Manila, doing a two week, three machine, VR-7800 training/installation at ABS/CBN
In Mexico, all of the International Broadcast Center, installations had special side tables, alongside each VR-1200 which held the Smith's mechanical splicer.

Hi Park:

I guess it depends on what the definition of "widely" is.  I think the original electronic editor came out in '62, but Editec followed shortly thereafter.  I have a 38 page booklet that Ampex published in '64 entitled "An Introduction to Modern Video Tape Editing Practice.....using the Editec System".  All of the illustrations show it installed in a VR-1000.  The VR-2000 also came out that year, and the multi-generation capability of Hi Band may have done as much for electronic editing as the edit system itself. I'd be very interested in first hand accounts of the changeover from mechanical to electronic editing.
