Yes, it can assemble edit. I recently did both 60p and 24p assemble edit to the same tape via firewire.
Maybe check your deck settings. Check input setting and check Sys Format. I couldn’t do the aforementioned assemble initially because a client had set the deck input to HD-SDI and the sys format to 1080i and I was trying to do a 720p assemble via 1394.
Hope this helps.

Yes, Bob, the 1200A will do assemble edits.
If it doesn’t, take out a gun and shoot it.(Inside joke for old AVID L’rs)

There are three types of people in this world, those that can count and those that can’t. -
Is that with 1394 in, or HD-SDI in?

Bob et al:
The 1200A deck CANNOT perform ANY edit function, sorry to be rude (block caps) but this is a recurring issue. Editing on tape requires very specific hardware issues such as flying erase heads, servo offsets etc. Just because you can “crash” record into a tape doesn’t mean it is an edit. If you recorded the tape into which you “crash recorded” (same VTR used for both fuctions), you will have some semblence of format integrity. However if you try to “edit” into any other tape, chances are that you may get high errors, concealments, and servo unlocks at each edit point. Your client won’t like that….! Bad ju-ju….
Please, for the 483rd time, the 1200A doesn’t, can’t and never will edit!
Rant over…. Argh!

Steve, the deck performs Edit to Tape (Assemble Edits) here all the time via Firewire control from Final Cut Pro. It’s not perfectly frame accurate, but it’s generally good within 2 frames.

Dear Bob,
I thought I read one of your post a few weeks back that you were going to deliver your thoughts on an eSATA external 8 port RAID system? Was that you or am I mistaken?
love,
jeff
