If I set Black and White under Input settings, contrast is reduced by about 10% (I am using it with Iris, so I can’t say for sure if it does this with all models). Is this expected? I can’t imagine why it would be. If I instead leave the setting off and just desaturate afterwards with ffmpeg, contrast is maintained.
when setting B&W in input settings the output has a layer of Vaseline smudged on it. for some reason it adds a layer of blur. i advise against using B&W in input settings to get a much more clear picture
