DeviceCapability [VCon IG]

A DeviceCapability connects a Device and a Capability. This is necessary because different devices can have the same capability, but with slight differences e.g. regarding the actual values of some properties.

For example, a recorder A can have a preroll of 5 seconds for the capability of type “Record” while recorder B has a preroll of 10 seconds. The value is important to control the devices when performing a record command, but is in most cases irrelevant for the chosen device for an action.

Properties

Property	Possible Values	Example	Description
id	string	0B	External ID of the DeviceCapability.
capability	Capability	see Capability.	The Capability that is assigned to a Device by this DeviceCapability.
config	string (JSON)	CODE `{ "preroll":5 }`	The values for the properties defined in the capability.
