Philips Hue’s new TV camera solves a big problem for TV sync lights

Philips Hue has announced two new products designed to sync lights with TV content: the Hue Play Screen Sync camera and the Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 4K. The Screen Sync camera, priced at $119.99, captures native smart TV apps and broadcast content in real time using a fisheye lens. It then syncs compatible smart lights in the room.

The HDMI Sync Box, which costs $149.99, has a slimmer profile and a single HDMI input. The company has officially released several leaked devices, including smart lights and software updates. The Screen Sync camera is a plug-and-play device that requires only placement above the TV for automatic calibration.

I Built a Binaural Beat Generator — Then Proved It With a Live FFT Spectrum Analyzer

  • Binaural beats are perceived by brain, not detected by physical means
  • FFT size 16384 reveals 40 Hz carriers as distinct peaks at 200.0 and 240.0 Hz
