For no any good reason except to please TV audience, ships always transmit captain's videos. If Romulans will sensibly refuse to follow ST broadcasting standards, the long and bloody war when no one ever saw the face of the enemy is more than possible, I would even say likely. BTW, we have problems with Pal, Secam and NTSC Tv encoding back here at home, but when two aliens meet, they all Subscribe to the same video standard ! Of course, TV viewers can still enjoy close-ups of hot romulans denied to Captain Archer
