Envy Quick Start Guide
1. Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your madVR Envy! The Envy is the result of over elevent
years of extensive R&D. It is the first and only video processor to provide patent-pending AI and
other advanced algorithms for real-time video, delivering a picture quality unlike anything else.
We hope you find watching movies with it as incredibly addicting as we and many others do.
Although Envy works right out of the box, this guide will help you get the most out of it. For the
best experience, please review it in full, before getting started.
2. Initial Set Up
The following is an overview for getting up and running quickly.
2.1.
Unpack and connect the Envy:
Your shipment contains the Envy, remote control with
batteries, remote control RF antenna dongle and a power cord (USA shipments only).
Please save the original box and packing materials in case your Envy needs services or
upgrades in the future. Review the rear panel as shown in Appendix A. Connect your
HDMI in and out, and power cord. Turn Envy on by pressing the button on the front
panel and enjoy it right out of the box!
2.2.
Proper ventilation:
Caution
: When performing upscaling such as 1080p60 to 4K60, or
with other advanced algorithms that may be added in the future, the Envy (particularly
the Extreme version) can
get “hot to the touch”
in the middle of the lid and expels hot
air from the rear and top vents.
Please ensure proper ventilation before use. For
important information on ventilation, see Appendix C.
2.3.
Remote control:
Review Appendix B for an overview of the remote-control functions.
The remote supports both RF (default) and IR. Both the RF and IR dongles are pre-
installed, as shown in Appendix A.
To put the remote into RF mode (default)
: Press and hold the OK button, and
while still holding it, press and hold the top left button (Power) for 3 seconds,
until the LED light on the remote blinks 3 times. Your remote control is already
set to RF mode by default. For proper operation
keep the RF dongle at 180
degrees
(please do not set it in the 45 or 90-degree position).
