We give a new very concrete description of the C*-envelope of the tensor algebra associated to a multivariable dynamical system. In the surjective case, this C*-envelope is described as a crossed product by an endomorphism and as a groupoid C*-algebra. In the non-surjective case, it is a full corner of such an algebra. We also show that when the space is compact the C*-envelope is simple if and only if the system is minimal.
