Even if you have the right equipment and driver software, the person doesn't know what spec they created it with and the DJ doesn't have the time, with an impatient audience, to sort through the possibilities.
These are groups that perform in TV on a steady basis and should know what kind of media the TV Entertainment staff wants. By the way, it wasn't a DJ but a trained professional sound person who deals with the sound equipment on a daily basis.
