It works particularly well with animation, which tends to have areas of strong color.
The lights lit up the white alcove perfectly in sync with the content on the screen. right, the yellow of the football shirt against the red hoarding combine to create and orange affects. Reconnecting everything was a bit of a faff as these things always are, and I used just two Hue Play lights but as soon as I got it up and running it was an “oh, wow” moment.Īs you can see see in the picture the lights respond to content on each sided of the image. My TV sits inside an alcove with a white background. This also has a receiver and surround sound setup, but here is where it all started to make sense.
PHILIPS HUE SYNC APP FULL
However, it was clear that I wasn’t using the Sync Box to its full potential, so I moved it to my TV in the other room. The app lets you choose between four levels of intensity – as in how much the lights react, and there is also a brightness slider. On the plus side, if I switched to stereo music the music sync effects did work and were impressive. However, it turns out that while the Sync Box supports Atmos from HDMI video sources, it does not recognise Atmos in music mode, which seems like a missed opportunity. Second, a feature I was looking forward to was having all the lights in the room syncing to Dolby Atmos tracks from Apple Music, specifically, Dawn FM by The Weekend. First, the light show didn’t do any favors to my projector-based system, merely washing out the image and not adding that much to the experience. On my first try I set up the Sync box in my dedicated cinema room, with a total of 10 lights (six GU10 bulbs in the ceiling, two Hue Play lights, and one Gradient lightstrip) – with the gradient light resting on the top edge of my projector screen, and the Hue Play projecting upwards, so quite the setup. You tell the Hue Sync up where your lights are physically located in your space, so you get the most.
