Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K - Sync Lights with Games, Movies & Music

Turn entertainment into an ambient lighting experience

The Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K turns your screen into a color-matched canvas. Placed between your HDMI sources and your Hue lighting, it translates on-screen action into synchronized color and brightness, creating a cohesive mood that can enhance gaming, movie nights, and music sessions. Built for high-quality content, it is HDMI 2.1 certified, supporting up to 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz where your hardware allows, so you can enjoy fluid visuals while your lights respond in real time.

What this device does for your setup

Designed to sync with HDMI devices rather than TV apps, the Sync Box can connect up to four sources—think the latest gaming consoles and home theater gear. As content plays, your Hue lights track the pacing of the on-screen moments, helping to immerse you in the scene without clutter or cables in front of the display. Dolby Vision HDR10+ content receives color and brightness cues that align with what you’re watching, adding depth to the atmosphere without altering your display settings.

• HDMI 2.1 certified for high-quality content: 8K at 60 Hz, 4K at 120 Hz
• Syncs with up to four HDMI sources, including consoles and home theater devices

Within the Hue ecosystem, you can tailor the experience using the Hue app. Adjust intensity, tweak color warmth, and create a surround-lighting mood that complements your screen action. This personalization is designed to feel natural, letting you fine-tune the ambiance to your room and taste. A dedicated Hue Bridge is required to unlock the full potential—automations, smart control, and deeper scene management become available once connected.

• Customize intensity and color warmth to fit the moment
• Full-screen view keeps you focused on the action with minimal on-screen distraction

Smart home lovers will appreciate compatibility with major assistants. The Sync Box works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, enabling voice or routine-based control alongside your broader smart home setup. When you’re ready for a richer, cinematic or gaming ambience, this box provides a bridge between your sources and your lighting system. It’s a practical, plug-in way to expand the influence of Hue lighting across movies, games, and music moments without requiring a redesign of your space.
