- Endpoint record from discovery.csv (excluded_other: device not in a current menu family (legacy / resale / other line)).
- Owner, 2026-10-22: Teradek offers free support for its products for years after they are discontinued. There is no official end-of-life policy yet (one is being worked on); until it exists, support covers every product, so no end-of-support date is given.
