Feature request: HDMI output color range setting #1696

I have been using my Hero 13 with its Labs firmware for live outdoor application. Current firmware version: 02.10.70

I am fighting the video being too contrasty and oversaturated some (None of the video color profiles in the camera looked right to me). I have done some tests using my AverMedia LiveGamer Ultra GC553 capture device and I came into realization, that my Kiloview P3 Mini encoder (Which I am waiting for feature request for addresing this issue from the other side too, but as I have to go through AVMATRIX Mini SC1221, the video may get crushed again) is expecting limited color range 16-235 instead of what I am seing camera giving me, likely full range 0-255. That explains the too contrasty look, crushed shadows and overblown highlights.

This is not perfect test, I tried to get it as consistent as possible by locking the camera settings, like exposure, ISO, etc. I think, that I was able to get some re-producable results. Screenshots from OBS with waveform and capture settings with its settings below:
