Panasonic DMR-ES15, enable or disable DNR?
After reading dozens of hours of posts and guides on this amazing forum, I sometimes think I missed something obvious. The premise in this question about Panasonic ES10 setting suggestions is that DNR (aka NR) should be turned off. The replies don't dissuade him of this idea. I though that the ES10 (and ES15) should have all the bells and whistles turned on in order to perform their magic pass-through magic for the lesser SVHS players that don't have the Line TBC feature? Did I misunderstand? If the DNR is turned off, what else does the ES10 (and ES15) do?:question:

- NR = noise reduction.
- DNR = digital NR, aka NR done in hardware or software DNR and NR can be used interchangably. - Line TBC isn't NR. - NR isn't line TBC. Those are separate concepts. Yes, very often, those processes are merged. For example, S-VHS VCRs are usually TBC+DNR. But TBC doesn't require NR, nor NR a TBC. In fact, JVC VCRs have NR separate from the TBC+DNR, aka "picture modes" (or B.E.S.T. in PAL) So the ES10/15 have lien TBC, regardless of any NR settings. ES10/15 NR is aggressive. It's never off, but the "off" is a low. So don't think of it as on/off, but low/high. All VHS needs some % of filtering, and all recorders/decks apply NR to a degree. Sometimes the ES10/15 NR looks better on than off. |
Thanks for the clarification on on/off versus high/low. When you capture from a tape, do you routinely capture samples using each workflow combination (including turning on and off settings) and visually see which looks best on a tv? And then you go back and capture the whole thing?
