Regent5 designs and calibrates private cinema and premium media-room systems with madVR Envy video processing, including the current Core MK2, Pro MK3 and Extreme MK3. Envy sits in the HDMI signal path to optimize HDR, aspect ratio, scaling, subtitles, calibration and display geometry for the actual projector, screen or video wall.
The right Envy model depends on display resolution, screen geometry, HDR goals, calibration depth, gaming requirements and how many advanced algorithms must run simultaneously.
Current price-to-performance Envy with HDMI 2.1 48G hardware, HDR DTM, aspect-ratio control, upscaling, calibration and IP control for premium media rooms and theaters.
Optional package expands the Core platform with additional premium processing features, broader high-resolution capabilities and an extended warranty.
Current step-up MK3 model with 48 Gbps HDMI 2.1, ECC memory, extended warranty and a feature set positioned between Core MK2 and the flagship Extreme MK3.
Flagship Envy with the highest current processing headroom, MotionAI, Geometry Correction and eligibility for future paid hardware upgrades.
Frame-by-frame HDR processing maps highlights, contrast and shadows to the measured capabilities of the projector or display.
Automatic format detection, screen-boundary control and non-linear stretch simplify scope, 16:9 and mixed-aspect content.
Subtitle tools can keep text visible on constant-image-height screens and manage content where subtitles would otherwise fall into black-bar areas.
Advanced upscaling, chroma reconstruction and detail processing are selected according to Envy model, output resolution and display.
High-precision LUT support integrates with professional calibration workflows for accurate grayscale, gamma and color performance.
IP control, profiles, software updates and remote dealer assistance support automation integration and long-term system maintenance.
Envy sits between the AV processor or source system and the display, processing the picture before it reaches the projector, television or video wall. It can perform HDR dynamic tone mapping, aspect-ratio management, scaling, subtitle handling, calibration, image enhancement and other display-specific processing.
Core MK2 is the current price-to-performance model and can be expanded with a Premium Package. Pro MK3 adds a more premium hardware and warranty configuration, while Extreme MK3 is the flagship with substantially more GPU and AI headroom, MotionAI, Geometry Correction and eligibility for future paid hardware upgrades. The right choice depends on the display and processing load.
It can be very valuable when the projector and screen are good enough to reveal the differences. Envy is most compelling when HDR tone mapping, scope-screen management, scaling, calibration or complex projection geometry are limiting an otherwise premium theater. Regent5 evaluates the display, screen, room and source chain before recommending it.
Projectors cannot reproduce the peak brightness of many HDR masters. Envy analyzes HDR frame by frame and maps highlights, contrast and shadow detail to the calibrated capabilities of the actual projection system instead of applying one static compromise to every scene.
Yes. Envy can automatically detect aspect ratios and use scaling, screen-boundary controls and Non-Linear Stretch to fill more of a scope or 16:9 screen. The amount of stretch is configurable, so the system can balance image size against visible geometric distortion.
Envy can detect aspect-ratio changes and adapt the image automatically, even within the same title. Subtitle-management features can keep text visible when it would otherwise fall outside the active image on a constant-image-height screen, reducing the need for manual lens or masking changes.
The current Core MK2, Pro MK3 and Extreme MK3 generation uses 48 Gbps HDMI 2.1 hardware. Core MK2 is 8K-ready, with additional high-resolution capabilities available through its Premium Package, while Pro MK3 and Extreme MK3 are positioned for full 8K workflows. Exact supported formats should be matched to the selected model and display.
Yes. The current HDMI 2.1 generation adds advanced gaming support including variable refresh rate and high-frame-rate workflows. Latency, resolution and refresh-rate goals should be reviewed alongside the selected Envy model, AVR or processor, cabling and display.
Yes, when those sources are part of a compatible HDMI signal path. Envy is not a media player; it processes the video signal coming from sources such as Kaleidescape, streaming players, game consoles and UHD disc players after source switching has been handled by the AV processor or matrix.
A common design routes the HDMI output of the AVR, AV processor or video matrix into Envy, then sends Envy's processed HDMI output to the projector or display. The exact topology depends on audio routing, multiple displays, gaming requirements and whether a video matrix is involved.
Yes for a reference-level result. Envy can improve processing before calibration, but accurate grayscale, gamma, color, HDR targets and LUTs still depend on measurement. Regent5 calibrates the processor together with the projector or display, screen, lens and room conditions.
Yes. We can evaluate the existing projector, screen, AVR or processor, sources, HDMI cabling, rack cooling, control system and calibration, then determine which Envy model and signal path make sense. Existing theaters often benefit from Envy without requiring the rest of the system to be replaced.
