Hue Play HDMI sync box

The Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box is a module that allows you to take your entertainment to the next level by synchronizing your lighting with what's happening on your TV screen. The software in the module reads the pixels from the screen and then ensures that your light points, placed around the room, change color and dim based on what's happening on the screen. This creates an incredibly immersive experience where the whole room becomes part of your entertainment. Adjust brightness, intensity, and whether the lights also follow the music of the movie/game, all through a wonderfully simple app on your smartphone. This module truly is the perfect tool for those who want to experience entertainment in a new way.

Synchronize

The Philips Hue Sync Box includes software that allows you to synchronize your lights with your movies, games, and music. It works by reading the pixels displayed on the screen and then reflecting those colors and brightness in the room's lighting. With music, you can make your lights pulsate in sync with the music, making it magically easy to create a perfect party atmosphere.

HDMI Connection

The Philips Hue Sync Box has four HDMI inputs on the back, as well as an output. The output is connected to your TV, and the inputs can then be used for your TV box, an Apple TV, your PlayStation/Xbox/Nintendo, or much more that is usually directly connected to your TV. The box needs to act as an intermediary for the synchronization function to work.

Hue Sync

Hue Sync is software available for your computer but also through the Philips Hue Sync Box. The software reads what's happening on either a TV or computer screen and then communicates this to your smart lights, which then mimic it with the correct color and brightness.

Philips Hue Color & Hue Sync

Hue Sync only works with Philips Hue products that belong to the Hue color category, i.e., those that have access to full color. This is so the lights can accurately reflect what's happening on your computer or TV screen.
