Reactive backlighting is one of the best ways to enhance your Apple TV setup. It can also be an expensive endeavor. Lepro is stepping up with a more affordable solution: the Lepro STV1. The new product launches today.
The key selling point is that Lepro STV1 doesn’t need an HDMI sync box that costs several hundred dollars. Instead, it’s a “new camera-based TV backlight designed to make home entertainment more immersive by extending on-screen color into the room around the TV.”
Lepro explains how the ultra wide camera monitors colors on your TV to mirror and extend with color-matching backlighting:
To capture color from an entire TV screen – up to 85 inches – from a short distance using a single camera, STV1 uses a fisheye ultra-wide-angle lens with a field of view greater than 180 degrees. Lepro Lens Correction
applies distortion correction and zone mapping to the captured image, helping restore the fisheye camera view into a more accurate representation of the screen. This allows STV1 to identify color zones more precisely and match the backlight to the correct areas of the TV image.
