Meet the madVR Envy Core
The most advanced, highest quality video processing for more modest budgets
The all-new madVR Envy Core brings the same cutting-edge video processing features as our award-winning Envy lineup to a broader audience. Designed for versatility, the Envy Core is perfect for more modest home theaters, media rooms, and living spaces at an affordable price. It delivers our best-in-class awarded 4K HDR dynamic tone mapping, truly instant aspect ratio handling, subtitle management, next-generation non-linear stretch for scope and 16:9 screens, stunning 4K upscaling, specialized sharpening and detail enhancement, support for 1D and 3D LUT calibration, IP based control system support, and much more. For an even more enhanced experience, the aftermarket Core Premium Package adds additional features and doubles the warranty to four years. Compare the Envy models and features here.
Discover the Envy Extreme MK2
The industry reference video processor for the ultimate in high-end cinema
The award-winning madVR Envy Extreme MK2 brings the pinnacle in video processing technology to your dedicated home theater. As the flagship model, the Envy Extreme MK2 is powered by the Nvidia 4080 Super GPU and uses our patent-pending algorithms to deliver the industry reference standard in 4K HDR dynamic tone mapping and a suite of unrivaled features. These include instant aspect ratio handling, advanced subtitle management, next-generation non-linear stretch for scope and 16:9 screens, stunning 5K and 8K upscaling, support for 8K60 and 4K120 output, specialized sharpening and detail enhancement, and 1D and 3D LUT calibration. The Extreme MK2 also boasts the Glacier X2 cooling system, premium components like ECC RAM, IP-based control system support, geometry control, a 5-year warranty, paid hardware upgrade eligibility, and MotionAI—the world’s first AI-based motion interpolation in a dedicated video processor, allowing fine control over the soap opera effect.
HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping
madVR Labs pioneered dynamic frame by frame HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping. Our patent-pending DTM 2.0 analyzes every frame in real-time to optimize every single pixel. That’s 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 AR and Geometry 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. Our unrivaled auto AR control finally rids you of those pesky black bars once and for all. The Envy Extreme also features advanced geometry correction, great for removing a-lens barrel distortion, fitting curved screens, advanced architectural installations, and more.
4K & 8K Upscaling & Sharpening
Envy uses proprietary machine learning algorithms to provide unrivaled 4K, 5K 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.
Highly Accurate Calibrations
Envy enables incredibly accurate calibrations by supporting massive 256-point 3D LUTs, and 4,096 point 1D 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, 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 HDMI 2.1 output, with full 48 Gbps HDCP 2.3 support. This makes Envy 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.
Non-Linear Stretch (NLS+)
Want to remove those pesky black bars on your 2.35 screen when watching 16:9 content? Our NLS+ is the first non-linear stretch algorithm to combine horizontal expansion with vertical compression. This innovation (yet another madVR Labs industry first) “shares the load” for the stretch both horizontally and vertically, resulting in a more natural looking image than possible otherwise.
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.
