Philips Smart Lighting takes color beyond the screen with Screen Sync

Guildford, UK: Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, is expanding Philips Smart Lighting with a product launch designed to make connected lighting more immediate, expressive and easy to enjoy. The new Screen Sync with Strip Light turns television content into responsive, roomfilling color.
 

Immersion made easy - with any content on screen
 

Philips Smart Lighting Screen Sync with Strip Light brings movies, television and sport beyond the edges of the display. A fisheye lens captures the full screen from edge to edge, reading its colors in real time and reproducing them through a four-sided RGBIC strip light mounted behind the television.

Because the device responds directly to what appears on the screen, it can synchronise with native smart-TV apps, broadcast television, and HDMI-connected devices. Consumers will not have to route their entertainment through a separate HDMI source, making it easy to enjoy responsive lighting with content from any source.

Installation is designed to be straightforward. Users position the Screen Sync device on top of the television and start calibration in the app. The device automatically aligns its anchor points with the screen, with the option to make manual adjustments afterwards.

Preset sync modes can tailor the effect to different viewing experiences, while a built-in microphone can make the lights respond to music. Consumers who want to extend the experience across the room can add compatible Philips Smart Lighting bulbs, lightstrips and lamps..
