The clips you imported then would be labeled with tape/reel numbers. Then you would edit. Then when you went to print to tape the editor would recapture only the required video at a higher resolution. And you could just save the EDL file and the physical media if you wanted to work on the project again later. This saved a lot of harddrive space, and more importantly render time. Render time on the old Media Composers was god awful. The “correct” way to edit for a long time was to capture a highly compressed version of the tape.

Sony probably incorporated this from their experience with audio.
