The Information menu shows information about your incoming and outgoing signal,
the display device, and system information such as your model type and serial
number. For security purposes,
never share your serial number
, except with your
dealer or madVR Labs. There is also a Test Patterns menu and Profile menu.
Tip
: The Envy menu system uses a very flexible and intuitive profile system that
makes it easy to save and apply different settings for different purposes (settings
management). A discussion of the profile system is beyond the scope of this guide.
An understanding of how profiles work is especially important prior to using your
Envy.
Therefore, we highly recommend you read the Introduction to Profiles
document available at www.madvrenvy.com.

Front-panel:
The front panel is as intuitive as the Envy itself. The LED lights blue when the
unit is on, lights red to indicate disk activity, slowly pulsates between blue and off when in
standby, and is off when the Envy is powered off. You can control the brightness of the LED
(or turn it off) using the wheel at the bottom edge of the front panel. To find the wheel,
place your finger on the LED and move it down to the bottom edge of the case. To turn the
unit on and off, press the power button (or use the remote). Should you ever wish to
unplug the Envy, first press the power button, and wait a few seconds until the LED turns
off. Never turn off your Envy by pulling the power plug while it is still on or by turning off
the power supply switch on the rear of the unit.
3.3.
Check output resolution:
Some projectors and displays do not report their native resolution
properly. For instance, JVC e-shift 4K projectors report a native resolution of 1080p instead
of 3840x2160. And some native 4096x2160 projectors may report 3840x2160. To override
this if necessary, press the top right button on the remote to quickly access the Display
Configuration menu, and change to the desired resolution.
3.4.
Set your peak luminance:
For optimal results, the Envy needs to know your peak
luminance. This is set in the Display Configuration menu. If using a scoped screen
with the lens zoom method (no A-lens) set the
“P
eak luminance (scoped)
”
value to
the peak nits when zoomed out for scoped movies. If you use lens zoom to change
between 16:9 and scoped zoom, please use profiles (see Section 3.1) to set the
different peak brightness for each setup. To get your peak luminance, use a
calibration software product to read your cd/m2 value off the screen when
displaying a full field 100% white pattern. Or measure your lux with a light meter
and convert to cd/m2. If unsure, please contact your dealer for assistance.
3.5.
Anamorphic lens setup:
If using an A-lens, press the top right button on the remote
and press the right arrow to reach the Screen Configuration Menu. Enter your
anamorphic stretch factor (e.g., 1.25x for a Panamorph DCR lens) if using an A-lens
