Signify today announced a new device for its Philip Hue line of lights, debuting the Hue Play HDMI Sync Box, designed to allow Hue users to sync their lights to their home entertainment systems.
The Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box is designed to connect between a television set and HDMI devices like the Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, video game consoles, and Blu-Ray players with the purpose of syncing lights with TV shows, movies, games, and music.
Signify says the box will work with any HDMI device that you have to take your content `to the next level with surround lighting.` You can connect up to four HDMI devices to the Sync Box, and swap between them as needed when watching TV, gaming, and more.
The Sync Box is able to automatically switch between each device depending on which one is in use, so there`s no need to worry about fiddling with settings every time you use a different device.
The Sync Box is compatible with all color-capable Philips Hue light bulbs, fixtures, and light bars that are paired to a Hue bridge. Up to 10 color-capable lights can be synced to whatever content is being played.`People love to escape the pressures of everyday life by getting lost in their entertainment,` said Jasper Vervoort, Business Leader, Home Systems & Luminaires, Philips Hue at Signify. `We are proud to present the new Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box and give them a simple way to make that possible. Philips Hue users can now easily connect the color-capable lights in their room with their home entertainment systems, taking their movie- and TV-watching, listening and gaming experience to a completely new level.`There is a dedicated Philips Hue Mobile Sync app that works with the Sync Box, allowing users to control and personalize the lighting experience. Brightness, speed, and intensity of the lighting effects can all be tweaked, and there are options to configure the default settings to better suit your needs.
