Season 1-3 were shot on 35mm, Season 4 was shot in 1080p.
BUT ALL post processing for all seasons was done in 1080p with CGI probably in 720p.

I don't think they will scan the negatives for the first three seasons again because effects like phasers etc. would have to be done again, like TNG.

The first season aired in 2001/2002. We all know how HD masters from that time can look on Blu-ray. Negative scanning improved a lot in the last 10 years. So even the real life scenes will probably not look as good as the ones in TNG.

Not saying that I won't buy the show on Blu-ray, but I'm not so sure the quality will be as good as a lot of people think.
