+Some general tips (See also \ref{sec:video_attributes} \textit{Color model}):
+\begin{itemize}
+       \item If your hardware allows it use RGB-Float (in \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Format}); this format does not lead to transfer errors from one model to another, but it uses more cpu.
+       \item Use RGB-8 if the source is RGB and YUV-8 if the source is YUV (most commonly used).
+       \item If you notice alterations in color/brightness representation, try playing with color models in \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Format} and with \textit{YUV color space} and \textit{YUV color range} in \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Preferences $\rightarrow$ Appearance} tab. Another possibility is to check if the display color model conforms to the project color model.
