ELI5; Why is camera quality in space so low?

171 viewsOther

I was watching a clip of the astronaut Sunita Williams talk about how grateful she is to be stuck in space, anyway I noticed the camera quality is like a video from the early 2000s? Does this have to do with radiation in space interfering with the camera, or is it just that they likely have old equipment?

Probably a combination of the following: Equipment is old, bandwidth is limited, and it’s probably been re-endcoded a few times.
