HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping

madVR Labs pioneered dynamic frame by frame HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping. Our patent-pending DTM analyzes every frame in real-time to determine how each pixel should be adjusted. 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.

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, Lightspace, Calman, displayCal, Chromapure, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 . Thanks for such a great product.
