And you're saying that that was common back then to do it that way?

If you had to convert from slow scan to NTSC, that's what you do.

there was still other things that were slow skin, which just actually like predates this new format for NTSC.

So I don't know a ton about broadcast video, but the standard that like, for instance, in Europe, they use PAL 25 frames per second.

Here we use NTSC.

And I think just before that, as people were just trying to even get, you know, digital or analog, but not film, you know, not replaying a film you had.

And even if you wanted to convert film and broadcast it on TV to actually do something along this kinescope process.

So kinescope or whatever it's called.

And you're basically filming a monitor or in reverse filming a film and you can broadcast it that way.

So you're just trying to get it broadcastable basically, right?

Right.

So they're taking this, the signal and because it already gone out on air, everyone had, you know, the feed of the video.

There was no, and we had all the data, these tapes that the backup tapes, you know, that the raw data tapes weren't considered like,

This like, holy, you know, grill, we have to hold onto these.

Cause these are so, they had everything.

Like they had all the video, they filmed everything still with some 16 millimeter film cameras.

And including even what was seen on the screen in NASA's headquarters in Houston.

I mean, at Johnson space projections.

were all in that NTSC format.

So they also received, because it was good enough for them.
