Profile Transparency; Predefined Profiles And Custom Profiles - madVR Labs Envy User Manual

2.3 Profile Transparency

Profiles are fully transparent – meaning that when a profile is activated, only the overridden
settings in that profile are applied. All system defaults, and any overridden settings from other
profiles, simply "pass thru". For example, settings for 3D movies and settings based on an aspect
ratio of 2.35 will be automatically applied when watching a 3D movie with an aspect ratio of 2.35.
You can think of each activated profile as a "layer". So, if setting A is overridden in profile 1, and
setting B is overridden in profile 2, and both profiles are activated, then the settings in effect will
be all the system defaults, but with settings A and B overriding those defaults, with any temporary
settings applies with highest priority. We discuss temporary settings in Section 3.4. See the
diagram in Appendix A for an overview of how profile inheritance and transparency works.

2.4 Predefined Profiles and Custom Profiles

Envy provides several predefined profiles, including ones activated automatically based on the
properties of the incoming video signal, such as its resolution, aspect ratio and colorimetry. For
example, if you use a predefined profile based on an Incoming Resolution of 1080p or lower, then
that profile is automatically activated when the incoming resolution is 1080p or lower and
deactivated otherwise. Predefined profiles based on the incoming video signal are below:
By default, Envy also provides predefined profiles for "Source Devices" and "Displays". These are
just empty profiles that have no effect until you save settings to them. The use of profiles is
completely optional. If you do not have any special settings you want to use for specific source
devices or displays, there is no need to set up profiles for these.
You can create custom profiles for any purpose you like. For example, you can create a custom
profile called "Sci-Fi" and set all your favorites settings for Sci-Fi movies there. Then when you
watch a Sci-Fi movie, simply activate your Sci-Fi profile.
