Both ends of the cable need to operate in the same mode. You can't output full range and do the conversion for limited. Hence the work around introduced with vdpau studio level conversion is simple wrong.
The real pain in the ass is HDMI and CEA. Specifications are kept like secrets. While we are flying blind, devices like bluray players communicate with the sinks (TV) and know a lot more about the other end. Enhanced EDID can be up to 32k while we only see 256Byte. There is a lot of useful information transmitted like video and audio latency devices can use for lip sync.
Currently I don't know whether there is a chance to read out this data. I don't even know if proprietary drivers like NVidia do.
