Roku Ultra Setup with the Envy
Please follow these instructions to setup your Roku Ultra for optimal playback with the madVR Envy.
Click the Home Icon on your Roku Ultra remote to access the main menu, and let’s get started!
Highlight the Settings option from the main menu.
Highlight the Network option and select OFF for the Bandwidth Saver and press OK. This will ensure
that your Roku is using maximum bandwidth for receiving content via ethernet or Wi-Fi.
Highlight the Display Type option and then select 4K HDR TV and press OK. This will send the signal
in a format that allows the Envy to utilize and perform scaling to 4k, 5k, or even 8k.
Highlight the Accessibility option and select OFF for Auto Play Video and press OK. As the content
may change the refresh rate, as we want to minimize the number of changes in HDMI handshaking.
Highlight System, then Control Other Devices, deselect 1 Touch Play (no check) and press OK. This
disables the CEC functionality of the Roku. This will allow you to use the advanced IP Control of the
Envy.
Highlight Power, then Auto Power Settings, deselect After 20 minutes no interaction (no check)
and press OK. This way the Roku stays on all the time to provide a stable signal to all devices in the
chain.
Next, Highlight System and select Advanced System Settings then set the following three options:
1. Set Auto Adjust Display Refresh Rate to ON and press OK. Even though the UI of Roku is
fixed at 59.94Hz, by selecting ON for this feature, your movies will be shown at the proper
frame rate of 23.976Hz.
2. Set HDR Subsampling to 4:2:0 and press OK. This allows the Envy to perform the conversion
of the video signal from a base signal of 4:2:0 to a higher signal of 4:2:2 or possibly 4:4:4
depending upon the capabilities of your display.
3. Set Dolby Vision Always On to No. This disables the forced Dolby Vision flag so the Envy
can process a clean signal without Dolby Vision processing being artificially applied.
