![]() ![]() On the calibration front, the Envy is compatible with most, if not all, Calibration Software Packages, including Calman, ColourSpace, ChromaPure, Display CAL, Argyll CMS, and HCF. Both are compatible with third-party control systems, including Crestron, Control 4, RTI and Savant. It also supports HDMI 2.1 and HDCP 2.3 at 48 Gbps. Naturally, the Envy supports all the latest video formats, including 3D, with the option to scale images up to 8K. Furthermore, owners can choose to apply NLS or Non-Linear Stretch to maintain a constant aspect ratio. With such titles, the Envy automatically detects and applies instant aspect ratio switching. Scoped Screen owners are united in that they share a special kind of hatred for IMAX titles with changing aspect ratios. Although everything’s done for you, it still provides a vast range of controls for tinkerers, including Highlight Recovery, Contrast Recovery, Shadow Detail and ‘Looks’. The Envy’s Dynamic Tone Mapping algorithm operates on a frame-by-frame basis, with each analysed in real-time. First and foremost in the minds of many are the Envy’s Dynamic Tone Mapping abilities, with Instant Auto Aspect Ratio Switching running a close second… Unlike other systems, which work at a block level, the Extreme has the muscle to work at pixel level to resolve judder, blurring and tearing.īoth Pro and Extreme include Artefact Removal, Instant Aspect Ratio Changing, Upscaling & Sharpening, Black Bars Configuration, Geometry & Convergence Correction, Non-Linear Stretch or NLS, Subtitle handling and Dynamic Tone Mapping. MadVR Lab’s co-founder and CEO, Richard Litofsky, tells me there’s also AI- Motion Interpolation planned for the Extreme. Both offer an extensive range of video processing enhancements, the latter adding more processing power and advanced geometry correction features – including anamorphic lens barrel distortion correction, correction for off-axis projector installations and AI-based anamorphic stretch upscaling for 5K and 8K projectors. ![]() The Envy comes in two different flavours, which in North America is priced at $7,995 for the Pro version, and the more expensive Extreme model at $13,495. This all changed with the introduction of the madVR Envy in 2020, which is a one-box solution designed to sit between a projector or television and source devices. As good as it was – and still is, as the software is available to this day – it is of little value unless you have a home theatre PC. With the introduction of 4K HDR, madVR added Dynamic Tone Mapping – the gold standard of video processing – to its already extensive feature set. Incorporating algorithms for scaling and sharpening, amongst other things, it provided a no-compromise solution for obtaining the best in terms of picture quality. Made by madVR Lab’s resident mad scientist Mathias Rauen, it rapidly evolved under his watchful eye and the feedback of a large community of eager enthusiasts… Launched in 2010, madVR was created as ‘freeware’ DirectShow Video Renderer software for home theatre PC enthusiasts. At a little over two years old, there’s no doubt it is the new kid on the block, but its history stretches back much further. Since its introduction in 2020, madVR’s Envy video processor has caused quite a stir.
