Introducing the madVR Envy

The most advanced, modern-day video processor for high-end cinema

The award-winning madVR Envy uses our patent-pending video processing to deliver the ultimate picture quality in your dedicated home theater. Enjoy the most dramatic yet highly accurate 4K HDR frame by frame dynamic tone mapping, unrivaled 4K upscaling, the fastest black bar & aspect ratio detection and zooming, debanding and compression artifact reduction, specialized sharpening and detail enhancement, 3D LUT calibration with unprecedented precision, and more. And best yet, our modern-day platform is so enjoyable and easy to use that it installs in just minutes. The Envy is the first and only product to use machine learning algorithms with real-time video streams to take video quality to a new level.

With Envy Without Envy * Simulation *

HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping

madVR Labs pioneered dynamic frame by frame HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping. Our patent-pending DTM 2.0 engine analyzes every frame in real-time to optimize every single pixel. That’s nearly a half billion pixels per second at 4K60! Our proprietary Highlight Recovery, Contrast Recovery and Shadow Detail Recovery provide an image so stunning you will be addicted at first sight. Finally, you can enjoy HDR movies and shows at home like never before possible, just as the director intended. Now with fully customizable “Looks”!

Auto Aspect Ratio Control

Envy detects every single aspect ratio and instantly adjusts the image to exactly fit your screen, regardless of its AR and the AR of the movie even as it changes back and forth. This is sorely needed for screens with wide aspect ratios, and benefits those with 16:9 screens. Envy even watches the movie along with you, to learn the aspect ratios in use and ensure it delivers unrivaled auto AR control to rid you of those pesky black bars once and for all.

4K Upscaling & Sharpening

Envy uses proprietary machine learning algorithms to provide unrivaled 4K and 8K* upscaling and anamorphic stretch. It also provides the highest quality chroma upscaling (4:2:0->4:4:4) and can automatically reverse certain damaging chroma upscaling used by source players to then perfectly apply its superior chroma upscaling.

3D LUT Calibration

Envy enables incredibly accurate calibrations by supporting massive 256-point LUTs, without any loss of measurement data and precision, unlike with other processors. This translates to 16.7 million points of accuracy, compared to less than 5,000 points with others. Envy integrates with calibration products including ColourSpace, Calman, displayCal,  and more.

Image Enhancements

Envy provides the highest quality algorithms to remove compression artifacts and mosquito noise, as well as de-banding to remove 8-bit banding artifacts. Many other favorite tweaks for image enhancements are also available to remove or add grain, sharpen edges, remove ringing, and more.

Subtitle Handling & Profiles

Tired of cutoff subtitles with your scoped screen? Our subtitle handing dynamically resizes your image to fit subtitles only when needed, maximizing your picture size. And our new profile system provides the most powerful yet easy to use settings management you’ve ever seen in any product before it.

8K and HDMI 2.1 Support

The Envy Extreme supports 8K and HDMI 2.1 output, and the Pro will receive a paid upgrade in 2021 to HDMI 2.1 as well. This provides full 48 Gbps HDMI 2.1 HDCP 2.3 support, making it the first and only stand-alone video processor to offer these advanced capabilities. Our modern-day hardware platform ensures you’ll enjoy the Envy for many years to come.

Continuous Innovation

Updates to Envy can be installed in less than 60 seconds with just the click of your remote. For example, we will introduce the world’s first machine learning based motion interpolation for the best motion handling yet, along with geometry control to support a wide range of installations, eliminate barrel distortion and artifacts from anamorphic lenses or curved screens*. More features are also on the way!

Simple to Install and Use

Set up is so simple that it takes just five minutes. No experience is required. Just plug the HDMI output from your AVR into the Envy, and send the Envy’s HDMI ouput to your display. Need support? With your permission, your dealer can remotely connect to your Envy, see its video output in real-time, and operate it just like they were in the room with you.

After watching a few movie scenes I can say with 100 percent certainty that the Envy is truly amazing. It has totally transformed the experience in our demo theater. Every movie looks incredibly immersive and now I have to go back and watch some of my favorite titles to see the extra detail.

I researched this for quite a while, carefully looking at the available Video Processors on the market. I ended up choosing the Envy and am glad I did. Setup was quick and straight-forward, and in no time at all, I was enjoying what the Envy can do. The Envy completely solved all three of the problems I was experiencing. I can now enjoy a thrilling Home Theater experience. I couldn’t ask for more.

— Don C.

This thing is incredible!! I played around with it and it does wonders on everything I played. The best purchase I’ve made for my home theater to date!! It is so impressive and has breathed entirely new life in my projector. I’m also amazed at how plug and play it is to set up, and how easy it is to use. You guys have really knocked it out of the park.

— Landon C.

I can’t believe how easy it went. All I can say is…incredible!  The picture is just stunning — the color, contrast and image brightness is just perfect. Thanks to you all for such a great, easy to use product. It’s actually making my system even less hands on.

— Mark J.

Envy is truly amazing. This is what I dreamed of when I bought my Sony 5000, and it never quite lived up to my expectations. With Envy, my theater has never looked better. Deep rich blacks, expanded range, amazing jewel-like midtones, and super-bright highlights, all with lots of detail. The wife and kids are ooh’ing and aah’ing all movie long. Overheard during “The Croods: A New Age” last night: “Dad, you’ve been lying to us for years. Why wasn’t it this good all along?” I still just can’t believe how great things look.”

— Don M.

The integration of the profiles is state of the art! The profiles are quite simple to use yet very powerful. Bravo! It’s so rare to see such a good design at the first beta iteration. I easily created display profiles for 16/9 and 2.35 aspect ratios, mainly to set my preferred Screen Boundaries and Black Bar settings for these aspect ratios. And it’s working great. Congratulations on this release. Everything continues to be very stable. I love my Envy now more than ever!

— Dave C.

I’m a trained DCI projector tech and I’ve reviewed HDR under laboratory conditions with blue laser and RGB laser DCI projectors, to tone map Barco Residential models to the ultimate standard. The Envy tone mapping algorithms get it right and consistently so. It also has auto aspect ratio detection, switching, and very soon, masking control. And the switching time is shockingly fast.

— John B.

…and it’s really a killer, nothing to do with my [competitor product]. It’s a completely different image. So much more brightness while keeping deep blacks and top whites that never clip. And so realistic that one has the impression that one can fit into the screen. It’s stunning! 

— Didier S.

…it kills everything I saw before. Its name should be madVR Magic. The image is the best I’ve ever seen. You don’t feel the need to tweak anymore your config for each movie. It just works as you dream it should.

— David C.

I’m speechless. The Envy is so insanely stunning that I could not believe my eyes. I just sat and stared in total amazement!

— Mike H.

Everything has been absolutely fantastic with my Envy. The picture is beautiful, the upscaling is amazing, the lip sync is bang on, and like I’ve stated before, its the most important piece of equipment in my home theater, next to the beer fridge laughing  I honestly can’t wait to be able to have people over again for movie night and show it off.” – Jon G.

— Jon G.

The Envy’s DTM and 4K upscaling may be the star of the show, but there are other aspects of this VP that create an amazingly beautiful image. I will always remember my initial impression when I first set eyes on the Envy’s image. It made me feel like I was “really there”, in the movie peering through a window as an observer. Hats off to madVR for designing such a wonderful product.

— G-Rex

Yesterday we installed the Envy Extreme, we have received last week. The customer has a JVC Z1, he’s very happy with his Envy, he never saw a better picture anywhere laughing. Thanks for such a great product.
