Not really unless you mandate hardware, hardware speed, software, software
speed, codecs, and everything else that goes into sending a signal over
the air. Direct mike-to-air and video-to-air is almost non-existent
nowadays - lots of electronics in between and at every step to "enhance",
compress, and otherwise distort perfectly good signals so that the
broadcaster (from the head end down to the local supplier) can cram more
into less.
