CES 2023: Govee Unveils AI Gaming Sync Box Kit to Sync Your Smart Lights and In-Game Moments
On Tuesday, January 3rd, 2023, during CES Unveiled 2023, Govee debuted the AI Gaming Sync Box Kit, an AI HDMI box that looks to offer a more enhanced viewing and gaming experience by identifying what is happening on-screen and creating real-time matching lighting effects to your desired set of lights.
But what exactly is Govee’s AI Gaming Sync Box Kit, and what’s it for?
What Is Govee’s AI Gaming Sync Box Kit?
During CES Unveiled 2023, Govee unveiled its new AI Gaming Sync Box Kit. The AI-powered HDMI gaming box will enhance your gaming experience by syncing your smart lighting to the action on your screen, delivering a real-time lighting experience that flows and changes automatically.
Talking to MakeUseOf, Govee explained that the Gaming Sync Box Kit’s AI is trained to work with specific games like League of Legends, where it is aware of what is happening in-game. So, for example, getting a Penta-kill, killing a boss, or destroying a tower will trigger a special lighting effect, each crafted to the color and style of the game.
It’s a unique way to bring additional flair and style to your gaming setup and one that can integrate with your other smart home lighting options. We’ve similar attempts at this technology by Govee, including theGovee Immersion Kitand theGovee Flow Pro Wi-Fi Light Bars, but this is the first product to use AI.
While there are a few similar products on the market, Govee claims that the AI Gaming Sync Box Kit will overcome common problems, including delayed reactions and limited color accuracy. In addition, this is the first HDMI AI box that supports up to 240Hz, making it ideal for fast-paced games. The box has three HDMI IN and one HDMI OUT and supports input switching. Using its built-in chip, the AI Gaming Sync Box Kit handles all the processing ensuring that your PC isn’t slowed down.
At this time, only four games are fully supported (League of Legends, Valorant, and Apex Legends have been confirmed). However, its AI is currently being trained with several others so that more are compatible in time for its release this March. There are currently over 30 customized game lighting effects for each game, with more to come. There is a claimed delay time of fewer than 16 milliseconds which should feel pretty instantaneous. The AI Gaming Sync Box supports three resolutions and refresh rates: 4k 60Hz, 2k 144Hz, and 1k 240Hz, as well as HDR, Dolby Vision, and CEC.
Beyond gaming, the AI Gaming Sync Box Kit will also provide the same reactive lighting effects as its other products when watching videos. The same AI technology is also coming to Govee’s Music Sync boxes, allowing it to identify the tempo and genre so that the effects can be more unique to your favorite songs. The Govee AI Gaming Sync Box Kit retails for $299.99 and is expected to release in late March 2023.

Elsewhere at CES 2023, Govee also showed off its high-end M1 light strip. Although the M1 light strip isn’t new, Govee has added Matter support, increasing its integration options throughout existing smart home configurations.
But for Govee, the real star of the show is the new AI Gaming Sync Box Kit, which we cannot wait to get our hands on.
