Incorrect Color/White Screen using Amarec

I am trying to record footage from my Intellivision 10 2nd Edition Plug and Play but the colors are not displaying correctly. I have the video and audio cables feeding directly into my GV-USB2. The first image below shows what the screen looks like under default device settings. The second image is what it looks like when the brightness is adjusted from 128 to 0. This fixes the problem somewhat but the background should be a completely black color. Adjusting contrast did not yield better results and the rest of the settings seem to do nothing.

What I find interesting is that in the first picture, the green is the only color that even shows up at all. So I figure this could be an issue with my color settings? The color space settings in Amarec read: fcc=YUY2, bit=16; and in OBS color space and range are set to 'Default'. I realize this problem pertains more to Amarec than OBS but any help is greatly appreciated.

I was able to solve this issue myself by manually adjusting various color settings:

In the AmarecTV window go to Config > Graph 1(Device) > Device Setting > Video Proc Amp. Set Brightness to 0 and Contrast to 128.
In OBS, right-click the Amarec source and click 'Filters'. Under 'Effect Filters', add a Color Correction filter, then set Gamma to -2.00 and Contrast to +2.00

Now, the picture appears almost identically to how it should:
