Capture Device: Blackmagic WDM Capture (Intensity Pro 4K) displays color channels in reverse order (BGR instead of RGB)

Hi all.

Image

I have a Blackmagic "Intensity Pro 4K" PCIe card. I'm trying to simply display it via "Open Capture Device…" using the device "Blackmagic WDM Capture", but it displays with colors in reverse order: Blue / Green / Red.

I've tried using different ":dshow-chroma=" options, but according to the Messages log, the only chroma mode that the device supports is "RGBA". I also have "Decklink Video/Audio Capture" devices listed, but they don't return any video or audio streams.

The complete Messages log generated while opening the Capture Device stream is available here: https://pastebin.com/XEmW0aBN

OS: Windows 11 Pro, 64-bit
VLC: 3.0.18 Vetinari

I was hoping that a video filter could fix this, but unfortunately I see no way to remap color channels.

---

(as a small aside: When saving a screenshot of this device via VLC, the screenshot is vertically flipped, [see here]. It only appears flipped in the screenshot, the stream itself appears in the correct orientation.)

No - this one is an output plug-in, it sends video to the Intensity Pro 4K. I would need an input plug-in, or a video filter if one exists.
