Among the [[Panasonic DMR series DVD recorders|Panasonic DMR series]], the DMR-ES10 is generally considered to have the strongest passthrough jitter correction capability, making it the most sought-after model for this purpose.<ref name="videohelp-passthrough">[https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/403635-Panasonic-DVD-recorder-passthrough-settings-(DMR-ES10-DMR-ES15-DMR-ES25) VideoHelp Forum — "Panasonic DVD recorder passthrough settings (DMR-ES10, DMR-ES15, DMR-ES25)"] — Comprehensive guide by Brad (user vaporeon800) documenting optimal settings for using Panasonic DVD recorders as passthrough TBCs, with extensive community testing and discussion.</ref> | ||
The "passthrough" mode refers to using the DVD recorder's analog video inputs and outputs without recording to disc — the incoming analog signal is digitized, processed through the unit's internal frame synchronizer (which corrects timing jitter), and then output as a stabilized analog signal that can be captured by a separate digitization device. Despite common misconceptions, the passthrough signal does not go through MPEG-2 encoding; this was demonstrated by Brad on VideoHelp by showing that 4:2:2 chroma detail is preserved in passthrough but lost in actual DVD recordings.<ref name="videohelp-passthrough" /> | The "passthrough" mode refers to using the DVD recorder's analog video inputs and outputs without recording to disc — the incoming analog signal is digitized, processed through the unit's internal frame synchronizer (which corrects timing jitter), and then output as a stabilized analog signal that can be captured by a separate digitization device.
