Member name	Type	Description
color_generator_force	Boolean	Whether receiver device without video processing capability has ability to blank its video output. Affects the following property: `nodes[COLOR_GENERATOR:0].configuration.force_output`
frame_rate_divider	Boolean	If device supports dividing frame rate by a factor of 2. Affects the following properties: `streams[HDMI:0].configuration.source.value` `nodes[SCALER:0].inputs[main:0].configuration.source.value`
hdmi_audio_downmix	Boolean	Whether device produces a downmix of its HDMI audio. Affects: Whether device can loop out the HDMI audio downmix to one of its local audio outputs. Whether receiver subscribed to this device's HDMI_AUDIO stream can output the HDMI audio downmix to one of its audio outputs. Affected properties:`nodes[HDMI_DECODER:0].inputs[main:0].configuration.source.value` `nodes[MULTICH_AUDIO_OUTPUT:0].inputs[main:0].configuration.source.value` `nodes[STEREO_AUDIO_INPUT_OUTPUT:0].inputs[main:0].configuration.source.value` `nodes[STEREO_AUDIO_OUTPUT:0].inputs[main:0].configuration.source.value`
hdmi_inputs	Integer	Number of HDMI video inputs.
hdmi_outputs	Integer	Number of HDMI video outputs.
hdmi_stream1_auto_stop	Boolean	Whether device supports the HDMI stream 1 auto stop feature. Affects the following property: `streams[HDMI:1].configuration.auto_stop`
infrared_inputs	Integer	Number of infrared receiver connectors.
infrared_outputs	Integer	Number of infrared emitter connectors.
local_loopback	Boolean	Whether device supports subscribing to its own video and audio streams. Affects: The `join` or `connect` commands when the source and destination devices are the same.
multich_audio_inputs	Integer	Number of multichannel audio inputs.
multich_audio_outputs	Integer	Number of multichannel audio outputs.
nbaset	Boolean	Whether NBase-T is supported by device. Affects the following properties:`nodes[NETWORK_PORT:0].configuration.speed` `nodes[NETWORK_PORT:1].configuration.speed`
net10gbe_dual_link	Boolean	Whether this is a dual link 10GbE copper+fiber device.
overlay	Boolean	Whether monochrome bitmap overlay is supported. Affects: The `set overlay` command.
scaler	Boolean	Supports scaling video from the HDMI input and sending the scaled video on a separate stream (HDMI stream 1). Affects: The `set scaler` command. The `start` command when stream type is HDMI and stream index is 1.
stereo_audio_inputs	Integer	Number of stereo audio inputs.
stereo_audio_input_outputs	Integer	Number of stereo audio input/outputs.
stereo_audio_outputs	Integer	Number of stereo audio outputs.
thumbnail	Boolean	Whether device supports sending a thumbnail stream (DN-2xx Devices only). Affects: The `set thumbnail` command. The `start` command when the stream type is THUMBNAIL. The `thumbnail` commands
uarts	Integer	Number of enabled UARTs.
usb_hid	Boolean	Whether USB HID is supported. (ASIC chipsets only.) Affects: The `usb` command. The `switch` and `stop` command when stream type is USB_HID
usb_extender	Boolean	Whether device has a USB 2.0 extender. Affects: The `usb_extender` command. The `switch` and `stop` command when stream type is USB_EXTENDER. the `usb2` command. Note: renamed from `usb_icron` in API 3.8 (alongside the `USB_EXTENDER` node); the legacy `usb_icron` flag was removed in API 3.9. The routing stream-type literal used by `switch` / `stop` was likewise renamed `USB_ICRON` → `USB_EXTENDER`. See the USB Extender Node Rename Migration Guide for details.
video_processing	Boolean	Whether the receiver device supports video processing. This includes support for video processing display modes such as multiview and wall. Affects: The `set video` command, specifically the ability to specify a display mode other than genlock. The `set multiview` command.
