Same thing. If it has AV in, it is most certainly an analog input.
Quote: Do the specs have to say something about passthrough as well?
Passthrough is usually on a firewire device or USB device to capture directly to the computer. If you get a HDD camera, you just record it onto the camera hard drive, then copy the file from the HDD to your computer. I doubt there is pass through on any HDD cameras, though I haven't looked. Simply because the MPEG encoding engine is in the camera, and passing the stream onto another device would be too convenient for the end users...
