Is that a full frame TBC?

The DMR-ES10 is a 2005-era DVD recorder that can be used as a pass-thru tbc -- that is, the video source is connected to the Line 1 input of the ES10, and the ES10 output is connected to the capture device. Thus, the video "plays through" (pass-thru) for capturing. As a recorder, the ES10 is only so-so. The ES10 circuitry contains a built-in line level and frame-sync tbc. A line tbc corrects scanline timing errors within frames. A frame tbc corrects frame-rate and output signal timing errors. The DMR-ES15 is a similar unit but has a slightly weaker tbc. For either unit, the Panasonic's DNR should be disabled. Both units have useable y/c comb filters for composite inputs. No other Panasonic units have been recommended for use as a pass-thru device. A couple of 2004-2005-era Toshiba high-end recorders are also used as tbc pass-thru and are passably effective, but not as powerful as the ES10 or ES15. Most DVD recorders can't be used for pass thru, and later machines have tbc's so poor that they are useless.
