+*output* <name> render_bit_depth 8|10
+ Controls the color channel bit depth at which frames are rendered; the
+ default is currently 8 bits per channel.
+
+ Setting higher values will not have an effect if hardware and software lack
+ support for such bit depths. Successfully increasing the render bit depth
+ will not necessarily increase the bit depth of the frames sent to a display.
+ An increased render bit depth may provide smoother rendering of gradients,
+ and screenshots which can more precisely store the colors of programs
+ which display high bit depth colors.
+
+ Warnings: this can break screenshot/screencast programs which have not been
+ updated to work with different bit depths. This command is experimental,
+ and may be removed or changed in the future.
