Is it true that the low quality of the Apollo 11 moonwalk video resulted from slow-scan conversion of 1969 broadcast signals and loss of original tapes?

Yes. Two reference sources state that the Apollo 11 moonwalk was converted from slow-scan television to broadcast format, which significantly reduced picture quality, and that the original slow-scan tapes were likely destroyed or erased. A forum answer also attributes the mediocre quality to the scan conversion and loss of the original input.
