+RGB to YUV conversion, @code{auto} thus means BT.601 limited range, unless the
+filter graph requires otherwise; converting full range YUV to RGB and back keeps
+the full range.
+
+Outside RGB to YUV conversion, these options describe the existing samples
+without remapping them; an unspecified input description may adopt the
+negotiated output description, while conflicting specified descriptions are
+rejected. Both options can only be used with YUV output; RGB output is full
