Supplied remote shortcut buttons can vary.","max_output_resolution":"Exact HD 3840R output up to 1080p. Developer Lakeport 3840X separately reports 720p maximum UI and 1080p playback, so UI resolution is not stored as the video-output maximum.

Compressed Dolby/DTS surround passthrough remains separately described, with no inferred decoded channel maximum.","smart_home_platforms":"Exact current 3840R maker compatibility. This is integration with named platforms, not a Thread border router or Matter controller claim. Google Assistant and Alexa require external enabled devices.
