Black in a video is not black

If I make a video with only black pixels (rgb = 0, 0, 0), then Madmapper converts this into (rgb = 1, 0, 1). This is also the case when you screenshot the media quad with the black video enabled on it, so the rendering process doesn't keep it purely black. This messes up the sampling from a Spout projector output for led strips, because the led strips turn slightly purple instead of being turned off. In an actual video, some parts of the led strip should light up while the rest should stay dark, but the rest becomes purple now.
