The Ultimate Video Processing Experience, Now More Accessible
Bringing the industry-leading, award-winning algorithms of the flagship Envy lineup to a broader audience, the madVR Envy Core MK1 is an absolute game-changer for dedicated home cinemas and media rooms. Packing the immense processing power of an NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU into a compact 2U chassis, the Envy Core MK1 delivers reference-quality 4K upscaling, peerless HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping, and instantaneous aspect ratio management.
At exactly half the size, half the weight, and a fraction of the cost of the Envy Pro, the Core MK1 delivers unmatched price-to-performance value without compromising the breathtaking image quality that madVR is famous for.
Key Highlights
-
Unrivalled HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping: Utilising madVR’s patent-pending DTM 2.0, the Envy Core analyses every single frame in real-time to optimise over half a billion pixels per second. Enjoy Highlight Recovery, Contrast Recovery, and Shadow Detail Recovery for a stunning, director-accurate HDR experience on any projector or display.
-
Instant Aspect Ratio & Black Bar Management: Say goodbye to frustrating black bars. The Envy instantly detects the aspect ratio of your content—even as it shifts dynamically during IMAX scenes—and perfectly fits it to your screen. Features include non-linear stretch (NLS+) for both scope and 16:9 screens.
-
Reference-Grade Calibration: Perfect for Kalibrate’s precision tuning. The Envy Core supports massive 256-point 3D LUTs and 4,096-point 1D LUTs with 12-bit precision. This translates to 16.7 million points of colour accuracy, perfectly integrating with ColourSpace, Calman, and ChromaPure.
-
Intelligent Subtitle Management: Watching a scope film but losing the subtitles off the bottom of the screen? The Envy dynamically resizes the image to fit subtitles only when they appear, maximising your picture size without cutting off text.
-
Next-Generation Upscaling: State-of-the-art AI-based upscaling ensures that sub-4K content, whether 1080p Blu-ray or streaming media, is beautifully enhanced to 4K without ringing or artifacts.
-
Core Premium Package (Optional Upgrade): Elevate your Envy Core with the Premium Package to unlock advanced future firmware features and double your manufacturer warranty from 2 years to 4 fully transferable years.
Comprehensive Description
The Brains Behind the Beauty
The madVR Envy Core MK1 completely takes over the heavy lifting from your projector or television. Standard displays often struggle to map the vast brightness ranges of modern HDR formats to their limited light output, resulting in crushed blacks or blown-out highlights. By processing video at 96-bit floating-point per pixel, the Envy Core ensures every scene retains its natural depth, vivid colour saturation, and pristine detail.
Compact Yet Incredibly Powerful
Designed to fit seamlessly into any system, the Envy Core is a sleek 2U unit that runs incredibly cool and whisper-quiet. Despite its modest dimensions, it houses serious hardware, giving you the elite visual performance typically reserved for hyper-expensive, reference-grade cinema rooms.
A Dream for Custom Installations
Setup is astonishingly intuitive. The Envy Core boasts true plug-and-play installation taking just minutes, supported by an elegantly simple user interface. For integrated smart homes, it offers full IP control compatibility with leading automation systems, including Control4, Crestron, Savant, and RTI.
