Original Remastered Finally, an original-vs-remastered phaser strike on a Tholian ship. I LOVE THIS IMAGE Had a poster of the Original shot on my wall growing up. but if the rumor OP posted is true then it appears the CGI scenes will just be AI upscaled and they won't be using the original source files. Original Remastered Here’s a Remastered classic shot the new version is an almost exact duplicate of the original.

The CGI Spaceship and VFX shots were outsourced to two different VFX companies because of the high output of episodes and directly rendered to VHS quality by them and that source material is of course not somewhere in a CBS or Paramount vault.
Spaceships are also on 35mm as long as they were physical models but DS9 transitioned to CGI ship scenes (Voyager even more so). the Actors were shot on 35mm Film of course.
