PHILIPS HUE TV SYNC
Bring the screen into the room.
Point your phone at the TV and your Hue lights follow the picture. Smoothing, anti-flicker and brightness limits keep it comfortable for a full film, without a sync box.
Uses your phone’s camera. On Android you can also capture the screen directly.

ANDROID SCREEN CAPTURE

Questions
Do I need a Hue Sync Box?
No. hueDynamic uses your phone’s camera, so it works with any TV, projector or monitor.
Will it drain my battery?
Camera sync is busy work, so keep the phone on charge for a full film.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes, with the camera. Screen Capture is currently Android only.
