#Hue sync box review movie#
The Sync Box creates bursts of color during explosions and dramatic ambiance during tense scenes is unlike other things people do to enhance the movie watching experience. After a few weeks and dozens of movies we didn't see any hiccups or issues with the hardware box or effects it produced. The Hue Play Sync Box performs as advertised and the actual hardware performance has been rock solid. The Sync Box uses the same power adapter that the Play Bar Lights use so, for example, if you have two Play Bar Lights and a Sync Box, they can all be plugged into the same power adapter. While you don't need to plug everything into the Sync Box - just the items you want to match with the light colors - having inputs flowing through various inputs may affect how you control your TV or attached devices. There are four HDMI inputs to accommodate an adequate number of sources, but be warned that may be a limiting factor for some people.
If you want your Hue lights to match what's on the screen from your cable box, Apple TV, and Xbox, then each of those has to be plugged into the Sync Box.
(It is essentially a fancy splitter that connects to Hue lights.) The content passing through is analyzed and translated to flashes of color on any connected Hue lights. To get Hue lights to mimic whatever content is showing on your TV screen, you'll need to connect a source device, like an Apple TV, into the Sync Box. Setting up the Hue Play Sync Box is straightforward, but will likely require re-doing you TV's entertainment area in some form.
