The madVR Envy Core MK1 is a video processor that sits between your sources and your projector or display. It is for home theaters that want HDR to look right on a projector and content to fit any screen shape. It applies frame-by-frame 4K HDR dynamic tone mapping, AI upscaling up to 4K60 and AI deinterlacing, and it processes every algorithm at 96 bits per pixel in 4:4:4. It detects aspect ratios automatically, including IMAX, and stretches or fits images for scope and 16:9 screens. It comes with the RC1 remote.
