Hi guys, I have a 2pc streaming setup where I use my graphics card to extend the main desktop to the streaming machine which has a datapath E1S capture card. I use a DVI cable from the main computers graphics card to the E1S but the extended desktop on the E1S looks washed out as hell. I looked in the ati control panel to see if I could select the pixel format but it was not available. I assumed that the graphics card would see the capture card as a DVI display and automatically output full 4:4:4 but it seems it's not. Anyone ran into this issue?

twitch uses limited range anyway, so I would expect that somewhere down the line for it to limit some color.
 
I know about twitch, but I am getting washed out color on the preview before I even stream. I feel like maybe the graphics card is not sending the proper color spacing over to the E1S. I know this issue should not happen with DVI cable that defaults to full color range, but my graphics card does not seem to be doing that.
 
Maybe show us OBS-mp logs?

Many capture cards may be doing RGB to YUY2 conversion, losing half horizontal color/chroma resolution.
Maybe change the pixel format (RGB preferred) in OBS's video capture?
