![]() ![]() In terms of technical specifications, the Philips Hue HDMI Sync Box supports 4K, 60Hz connections, which was ideal for my UHD curved Samsung display. On the contrary to that, though, if you are watching, say, a National Geographic nature documentary, then you'll want to select Video mode, as well as a more subtle lighting intensity, which will add immersion but not distract from more stately visual content on screen. This will mean the colour and light your setup throws out is very vibrant and bombastic, matching the action on screen. And, in my opinion, you're going to want to do this as certain content and applications are better suited to different light levels.įor example, if you are playing a fast-paced, action-filled game like Doom Eternal then you should select game mode, a bright light level, and one of the more intense lighting options. Drawing out a flaming torch, though, would suddenly cause a warm red glow to emanate from around the screen.Īnd speaking of light, exactly how bright and intense the light is can be fully controlled by you through the Hue Sync app. In Assassin's Creed Odyssey, sailing the seas led to engulfing blue shades again, while diving into caves would cause all the lights to go out. Naturally, when there was explosions, the lighting would react and bathe you in red, orange and yellows. In Picard the warm scenes in and around his chateaux were improved by being enveloped in warm hues, while in space, either on Picard's ship or on the old Borg Cube, the lighting was all cold blues, greens and metallic shades. I found the system worked best in movies and games, as well as dramatic TV shows, where there is lots of action and changes in location.Ī good example of this was when watching the recently released Amazon Prime Video series Star Trek: Picard, as well as playing the playing the open-world stab-'em-up Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Once you have your lights positioned and setup virtually, you can then fire up some content, open the Hue Sync app and start the sync, and start enjoying the experience, which is really rather immersive. Which brings us onto the lighting itself. Naturally, lights positioned behind a viewer can also be positioned in terms of height, too, so you can if your pockets are deep enough, really wrap yourself in light that syncs with the action on screen. ![]() It took 10-15 seconds but the sound suddenly switched up in quality 10 times.So for example, in my setup, the two Go lights acted as the bottom left and bottom right of the screen, but that was only because I had positioned them virtually in a low position. ![]() I selected the tv input in the Bose app and I hold the menu button on the Apple Remote and selected ‘tv speakers’ instead of ‘Bose 900’. It seems the video from my Apple TV goes through the sync box to the tv, but the audio gets send via AirPlay to my Bose. This is when I watch from the Apple TV to the Bose 900: This is when I watched from the tv smart app to the Bose 900: Update #1: I seem to have found the issue here and also a fix □ Is there anything I’m missing about the sync box and it’s settings? It should be able to passthrough Atmos sound right? I got it plugged in at port 2 (since I heard 2/4 have better bandwidths or something?) I thought the Hue sync box might be the problem, so I removed it (Apple tv -> LG -> Bose 900) and then Netflix shows Dolby Atmos as well, so the problem here is really the sync box not passing through the Atmos, right? When I play Atmos content on the Apple TV via Netflix for instance it shows Dolby Vision - 5.1, but when I play from the Netflix smart tv app it shows Dolby Vision - Dolby Atmos and the sound is so much richer and better, but is doesn’t pass the sync box of course. So: Apple TV -> Sync box -> LG TV -> Bose 900. Then I have my Bose 900 soundbar (with Atmos) connected to the eARC port on the tv. I have a Apple TV 4K plugged in my sync box and then to my LG A1 OLED tv via HDMI. Im sorry if this is asked many times a week but I can’t get my Apple TV to play Atmos content via Hue sync box. ![]()
