version	Integer	Video compression version to apply. Two options available: 2 For improved video compression. 1 For backward compatibility with devices that only support this version. Refer to the version_support member for the maximum version supported by a device. Note: All devices receiving compressed video, that is HDMI stream 0 with compression enabled, from a device must be configured to decompress with same compression version.
