Shop E Store Meaning, the parent company of Philips Hue, has removed the covers in a more affordable way to immersive television lighting.
But it is not another HDMI synchronization picture of Hue Play that has been revealed, but its sister brand Wiz entering the HDMI smart lighting action.
The new Wiz HDMI synchronization box with the TV backlight, to give it its complete fleshy nickname, consists of a control box and a led light strip that adheres in the back of its TV, which works together to create a light program dictated by the on -screen images.
World launch in May, the Wiz HDMI synchronization box offers these color combination effects in real time reading the video signal directly from its HDMI source.
That means that their lights will reflect what is happening on the screen with zero calibration uproar, and an additional camera is not necessary; You can plug your transmission stick, console or established box, and let the lights make your thing.
Instead, analyze the HDMI entry directly (up to 4K at 60Hz with HDR10+ and DOLBY VISION) and send synchronized effects to any Wiz lights on the same Wi-Fi network; It is not only limited to the LED setback with which it is sent.
It also has a built -in microphone to synchronize with music.
The box is sent with a segmented RGBIC LED strip of 3 sides in two sizes: one for televisions of 55 to 65 inches and another for larger models from 75 to 85 inches.
It offers four synchronization modes (cinematics, vibrant, relaxation and rhythm), in addition to manual controls for brightness and saturation through the Wiz application. Voice commands through Alexa or the Google assistant are also offered, along with an optional Wiz control.
It is only HDMI 2.0, so although it can handle 4K and all the main HDR formats, it is not the best option if you are trying to obtain the 120 Hz games in your PS5 or Xbox Series X; If that is what you are looking for, consider the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K, which was launched last year … but it is 5 times the price.
In addition, with a single HDMI input, you will need an external switch if you want to connect multiple devices; The 4K and 8K box boxes have four HDMI inputs.

Therefore, they are an excellent option if you are looking for an economical way to venture into immersive lighting without going everything in the most expensive hue ecosystem.

The gradient light bars (£ 54.99 / $ 59.99) offer Multicolor segment lighting in a compact design that can mount vertically or horizontally.
Both lights admit music and video synchronization and are compatible with matter.
