Cassian frowned. There's important technical detail in there, but there's a divide in terminology. (Unless in this one instance, Panem is advanced enough to be beyond Cassian's immediate knowledge…?)
"I'm sorry," said Cassian, "I don't understand these words. 'Televised', 'broadcast', 'recaps', 'highlights', 'reruns'." This usage of live though he leaves that one off.
He seems unabashed at his ignorance. That sort of humility is easier (and necessary) to develop in travelling. Learning how to ask is far more useful, and if not perceived as more intelligent, at least more respectful, than being afraid not to know.
'Recorded' he knows, obviously. 'Camera' is also known to him, though a bit obscure. …obsolute? It might yield a clue, though. The words may be strange but the tech may be comparable to holovid transmission, open channel on a network…
Cassian is tempted to suggest possible points of reference or comparison, but holds off. Always best not to try and influence the answer before it's given, not try to pre-fit into his own framing, if he wants the clearest idea.
