The Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K sits between HDMI sources and the TV and drives up to 10 Hue lights from that picture. Philips Hue’s US page showed HDMI 2.1, 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz, 1:1 color sync, and no camera on the screen.

A Hue Bridge is required. Smart TV apps are not supported, because that signal never hits an HDMI input.
