The local station engineer will know what the broadcast format is, but
that was not the question; the question had to do with the ORIGINATION
imaging device (camera) and whether the format being transmitted
(whatever format it was in at the network affiliate station) was
obtained directly, by down-converting or by up-converting (and if
converted, converted from what). Only engineers at the site of
origination would necessarily know that .... downstream engineers will
only know the format that they receive, but not necessarily the exact
details of how it was derived at the point of origination.
Before you accuse me of not knowing what I'm talking about, you should
know that I am a degreed Electrical Engineer, and that I am also FCC
licensed (the highest commercial license issued) as a TV broadcast
engineer and in fact have worked in Radio and TV stations in that
capacity. I very likely know far more about this than you do; I've been
doing this stuff for a LONG time. My FCC amateur radio license, which
you can verify online, is WA4PCC, and it was issued in 1963 (when I was
in Jr. High School).
