Panasonic AJ-HD1200A assemble edit ?
Sorry for the OT – I can’t find this in the archives.
Does the Panasonic AJ-HD1200A do an assemble edit, or just crash record?
Thanks –

No. The 1200 is not an editor. It does have an “auto back” setting in the setup menu – when enabled you can press REC while holding down the PLAY button and it will do more than a crash record, but not as clean as a true assemble.

Hi Bob,
As you have suspected, the Panasonic AJ-HD1200A does not support assemble edit. Some older DVCPRO HD decks did support assemble edit, eg the AJ-HD150.

Wow, that’s good to know. I was wondering why the deck is so “cheap” (if you call $20k US cheap).

What the difference between an assemble edit and crash record?

Actually, you need an “optional” card AJ-YA120AG card before the unit records at all!

The “control track” is broken and there is a glitch with a crash edit.

The AJ-HD150 does not support the Varicam and 24p however.

What do you mean by, “The AJ-HD150 does not support the Varicam and 24p however.”
We use the 150 daily with VariCam material shot at 24p and have been doing so for years. It’s actually a fabulous machine, a full editing deck.

I maybe thinking of another deck…

What deck would that be?
All Panasonic DVCPro HD decks handle VariCam 24p material.
