As a very high-level comment, my worry is that you feel like DRM doesn't supoort this so are inventing it in the DAL. This is understandable, but the problem is that DRM will come up with a different interface for things like genlock or FreeSync; one that is unlikely to match the abstraction in the DAL. If there are areas you feel core DRM does not address but need to be supported, please start by working in the core and building out from there. Cheers, Daniel
