Rockville, MD — September 2, 2025 — madVR Labs, the industry leader in high-performance video processing, and the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF), leader in video calibration standards and training, proudly announce that madVR Labs’ award-winning Envy series of video processors has been officially certified by ISF. The Envy is the first and only 4K and 8K video processors to receive ISF certification, underscoring its position as the reference standard for video excellence in home cinema.
ISF certification means the Envy series has undergone an extensive independent evaluation to ensure that its advanced video processing algorithms meet or exceed the industry’s most demanding standards for color accuracy, calibration capabilities, and overall picture fidelity. This third-party endorsement confirms that Envy is engineered to deliver the original creative intent of filmmakers and content creators at the highest level.
“We have always been committed to pushing the boundaries of video quality, and achieving ISF certification is a great milestone that further solidifies our mission,” said Richard Litofsky, CEO of madVR Labs. “The Imaging Science Foundation is the gold standard for video calibration, and their endorsement provides independent validation to our customers and dealers that the Envy is built for true reference-grade video performance.”
Setting the Standard for the Most Advanced Calibration Capabilities
The Envy is the only residential A/V product that supports both massive 1D and 3D LUTs, enabling unprecedented precision in calibration. This includes 4,096-point 1D LUTs and 16.7 million interpolated points in its 3D LUTs—the largest and most sophisticated calibration architecture in the industry. Unique to the Envy, it also provides both a front and back 1D LUT, giving professional calibrators finer control than ever before to achieve unmatched accuracy.
With these capabilities, ISF-certified Envy video processors integrate seamlessly with professional calibration workflows, allowing trained calibrators to optimize every link in the signal chain—from sources through processing to final display. This ensures displays perform to their full potential in any environment, from dedicated theaters to multi-purpose media rooms.
“Our goal at the Imaging Science Foundation has always been to ensure that consumers can enjoy video content as the creators intended,” said Joel Silver, President and Founder of ISF. “The madVR Envy is the first 4K and 8K video processors to achieve our certification, and this is a landmark moment. With its advanced processing and intelligent calibration features, the Envy provides a powerful and accurate tool for achieving reference-level image quality, solidifying its place as a critical component in the highest performance home theater systems.”
With this certification, madVR Labs joins the ranks of other ISF-certified manufacturers, including Epson, JVC, Denon, Panasonic, Marantz, Murideo, LG, and Microsoft. The Envy will also be on display at the CEDIA Expo in over a dozen locations spanning the show floor—contact the company today to book an appointment.
