I see the following from the man page

"DVI/HDMI outputs. Avaliable common properties include:
BROADCAST_RGB - method used to set RGB color range(full range 0-255,
not full range 16-235)
Adjusting this propertie allows you to set RGB color range on each
channel in order to match HDTV requirment(default 0 for full range).
Setting 1 means RGB color range is 16-235, 0 means RGB color range is
0-255 on each channel.
SDVO and DVO TV outputs are not supported by the driver at this time."

Does that mean I *can* toggle the studio colour range on the fly, or
is the doc wrong?
