The new TV light synchronization box from Wiz Sape The pricing of Philips Hue by half

Budget Smart Lighting Brand Wiz has announced a new HDMI synchronization box which synchronizes with its range of LED lights based on Wi-Fi to correspond to what plays on your TV.

Wiz HDMI synchronization box with TV backlight will be available next month. It is available in two models: one with a TV backlight strip for 55 inch screens at 65 inch for $ 89.99, and the other for 75-inch screens at 85 inch for $ 109.99.

The new HDMI box is similar to that of the Wiz sister brand, Philips Hue. But HUE HDMI game box Starts at $ 249.99, with light bands sold separately. (Hue and Wiz both belong to signify, but their bulbs are not compatible with each other.) The WIZ bulbs also use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, while Hue is based on Bluetooth and Zigbee (via a hub).

Unlike light synchronization systems based on companies like Nanoleaf and Govee, Wiz and Hue’s Sync Products read the signal directly from the video source, which can help avoid latency problems.

This makes the Wiz option an excellent budget alternative for those postponed by high HUE prices. However, there are some concessions. The Wizbox has only one HDMI input, while the Hue game supports four. This means that if you have several devices connected to your TV, you will need to manually switch to each other.

The Wiz synchronization box supports HDMI 2.0 and video formats up to 4K at 60 Hz with HDR10 Plus and Dolby Vision. Hue de Hue HDMI box Supports up to 8K video, HDMI 2.1 and refresh the rates up to 120 Hz for 4K for console games. It also costs $ 350

The WIZ box also offers an integrated microphone that captures audio, allowing lights to change synchronization with music as well as films. The box can be checked with the Wiz application, with the voice via Google or Alexa, or Wiz remote control.

According to the company, the synchronization box can connect to any WIZ light compatible with colors that supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, including its new degraded light bars ($ 59.99) and degraded soil light ($ 89.99), which can sit next to your TV to add more ambient light. As with all WIZ lighting products, these support the smart home standard, so are compatible with most smart homes systems.
