Architectural Considerations for madVR in Orange County, CA Homes

In luxury homes across Newport Coast, Laguna Beach, and Corona del Mar, clients expect more than top-tier aesthetics they want immersive experiences that feel effortless and beautifully integrated. When it comes to delivering best-in-class home cinema and media room performance, madVR Envy is the gold standard for video processing. But to get the most from madVR, thoughtful architectural planning is essential.

At Oasis Smart Homes, we collaborate with architects, builders, and designers from the earliest stages of a project to ensure that systems like madVR blend perfectly into the design vision—without compromising performance or visual flow.

Why madVR Demands Architectural Coordination

madVR is a high-performance video processor that works in tandem with projectors, displays, receivers, and automation platforms. While compact and discreet, it delivers professional-grade video enhancement, including:

• Real-time 4K HDR tone mapping
• AI-powered video upscaling and smoothing
• Dynamic contrast and color refinement
• Precise black bar detection and masking

To fully realize these benefits, the environment around madVR—including power, cooling, cabinetry, display placement, and system access—must be planned in detail.

Key Architectural Considerations for madVR Integration

1. Equipment Ventilation and Rack Placement

madVR should be housed in a well-ventilated AV rack with adequate airflow. Enclosed cabinetry without proper cooling can degrade performance or shorten equipment lifespan.

We recommend:

• A centralized AV closet with dedicated cooling
• Cabinetry with passive or active ventilation
• Easy-access service panels for future maintenance

2. Projection Throw Distance and Room Proportions

To take advantage of madVR’s advanced tone mapping and HDR support, the projection environment must be carefully designed.

Consider:

• Throw distance and screen size to optimize brightness and resolution
• Light control via motorized blackout shades
• Ceiling height and room depth for proper speaker and screen alignment

Our team ensures projector and screen choices are calibrated for madVR’s output.

3. Low-Voltage Infrastructure and Conduit Pathways

Proper pre-wiring and flexible conduit routes allow for:

• High-speed HDMI and fiber connections to the madVR unit
• Room-to-rack cable runs for audio, control, and network
• Future-proofing for upgrades or system expansions

We provide detailed drawings and documentation for your construction team.

4. Hidden Technology with Visible Impact

In high-end homes, clients want cinematic performance without visible equipment. We work with your interior design team to hide:

• Projectors in custom ceiling enclosures
• Motorized projection screens behind millwork or artwork
• Speakers behind acoustically transparent materials
• madVR units in remote closets or utility rooms

All while maintaining easy access for service and updates.

madVR in Modern and Transitional Architecture

Whether your client’s home leans modern, coastal contemporary, or transitional, madVR can be integrated into the design language with:

• Minimalist media walls with hidden displays
• Recessed motorized shades and ambient lighting scenes
• Dual-purpose spaces where screens and speakers vanish after use

Our goal is to preserve the architectural integrity of your project while enhancing the home’s technology experience.
