Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for a media device receiving from a source media device a request about a media capability of the media device, and identifying a data block indicating a default capability of the media device. The media device can further select a data unit of the data block to be replaced based on a media capability of a downstream media device attached to the media device. Afterward, the media device can modify the data block by replacing the selected data unit by information indicating the media capability of the downstream media device to generate a modified data block to represent a combined media capability of the media device and the downstream media device. In addition, the media device can send the modified data block to the source media device.
