Spanish term or phrase: dispositivo de generación
My text is full of "dispositivos de ....". So far, dispositivo de decodificación has become decoder, dispositivo de lectura has become reader, etc. ... but the one tht has me stumped is "dispositivo de generación".

What is being "generado" is code markers, which are inserted into the video layer and which, when read, launch certain apps. ..., that sort of thing, as I understand it.

My question is what to call this "dispositivo de generación" ... ideally without using device, tool, instrument, appliance, interface, machine or anything like that.

Any suggestions?
TIA, MJ
