Panasonic DMR-EH50: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

|description=The Panasonic DMR-EH50 is a consumer DVD/HDD combo recorder released in 2005. It was Panasonic's flagship DVD recorder for that year, combining an 80GB hard disk drive with multi-format DVD recording.

In the video archival community, the DMR-EH50 is notable for its passthrough TBC performance. Community testing on the German Gleitz forum and VideoHelp determined that PAL variants of the EH50 (EB/EG/EP) use the same video processing chipset as the [[Panasonic DMR-ES10]], placing it in the top tier of Panasonic DVD recorders for passthrough jitter correction alongside the ES10 and DMR-EH52.<ref name="videohelp-passthrough">[https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/403635-Panasonic-DVD-recorder-passthrough-settings-(DMR-ES10-DMR-ES15-DMR-ES25)/page6 VideoHelp Forum — "Panasonic DVD recorder passthrough settings" — Page 6] — Community comparison of Panasonic DVD recorder chipsets and passthrough TBC performance tiers.</ref>

The DMR-EH50 does not have HDMI output, so passthrough capture must be done via S-Video (recommended) or component video. For a detailed explanation of the passthrough TBC concept and recommended settings, see [[Panasonic DMR~~-ES10~~]].
