madVR Labs, a trailblazer in high-performance video processing, in collaboration with the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF), the authority in video calibration standards, proudly announces that its award-winning Envy series of video processors has earned the prestigious ISF certification. The Envy series stands alone as the first and only 4K and 8K video processors to receive this esteemed recognition, cementing its status as the gold standard for video excellence in home cinema applications.
Uncompromising Quality Validated by ISF Standards
The ISF certification is a testament to the Envy series’ exceptional performance, having undergone rigorous independent testing to ensure its advanced video processing algorithms surpass the industry’s highest standards for color accuracy, calibration precision, and overall picture fidelity. This third-party validation confirms that the Envy is meticulously engineered to preserve the creative vision of filmmakers and content creators, delivering an unparalleled viewing experience.
“We are thrilled to achieve ISF certification, a milestone that reinforces our commitment to redefining video quality,” said Richard Litofsky, CEO of madVR Labs. “The Imaging Science Foundation represents the pinnacle of video calibration expertise, and their endorsement assures our customers and partners that the Envy delivers true reference-grade performance.”
Industry-Leading Calibration Capabilities
The Envy series is unmatched in its calibration prowess, being the only residential A/V product to support both extensive 1D and 3D Look-Up Tables (LUTs). With 4,096-point 1D LUTs and an impressive 16.7 million interpolated points in its 3D LUTs, the Envy offers the most sophisticated calibration architecture available. Unique to the Envy, its dual front and back 1D LUTs provide professional calibrators with unprecedented control, ensuring pinpoint accuracy across the entire video signal chain.
These advanced features enable seamless integration with professional calibration workflows, empowering ISF-certified calibrators to optimize every component from source devices to the final display. Whether in a dedicated home theater or a versatile media room, the Envy ensures displays perform at their peak potential.
Joel Silver, President and Founder of ISF, commented, “The madVR Envy marks a significant achievement as the first 4K and 8K video processors to earn our certification. Its advanced processing and intelligent calibration tools make it an indispensable asset for achieving reference-level image quality, solidifying its role in the most elite home theater systems.”
