I worked at the BBC in the early 1980s, when an increasing amount of
sport and current affairs material was being shot on video, but the
main form of editing was still 16mm film , so a lot of stuff used to
be transferred from tape to to black and white 16mm with burnt-in
time code: In the UK it's called "Film Recording". The 1 inch video
masters would then be conformed to the edited 16mm work-print.
The BBC had 120 cutting rooms in 1983, but that was the year they
started to edit short news items, sport etc on two-machine tape systems.
