- The Lepro STV1 uses an ultra-wide-angle camera to sync room lighting with your TV screen, removing the need for costly HDMI sync boxes.

- The product is available now in two sizes, catering to displays ranging from 55 to 85 inches, with prices starting at $89.99.
Immersive Viewing Without the Premium Price Tag
For home theater enthusiasts, reactive backlighting is the gold standard for immersion, effectively extending the on-screen action beyond the physical boundaries of the display. Traditionally, this aesthetic upgrade required expensive HDMI sync boxes that could cost hundreds of dollars. Lepro is looking to disrupt this market with the launch of the Lepro STV1, an affordable, camera-based solution designed to bring dynamic, color-matching light to your Apple TV setup.
Advanced Camera-Based Sync Technology
Unlike solutions that intercept HDMI signals, the Lepro STV1 utilizes an ultra-wide-angle camera to interpret the colors on your display in real-time. This approach eliminates compatibility issues with various streaming hardware or high-frame-rate content.
To ensure accuracy, the STV1 features:
- Fisheye Lens Technology: A specialized lens with a field of view exceeding 180 degrees, allowing it to capture the entire screen—even on displays up to 85 inches—from a close mounting position.
- Lens Correction & Zone Mapping: Lepro’s proprietary software processes the fisheye input to correct distortion, creating a precise digital map of the screen to ensure the LED strips react to the correct regions of the image.
AI-Powered Lighting Customization
Beyond basic color-matching, the STV1 integrates Lepro’s LightGPM™ 4 AI Lighting Designer. This feature allows users to go beyond standard screen sync by generating custom lighting scenes based on text, voice commands, or static images. Whether you want team-colored lighting for a sports broadcast or a moody atmosphere for cinematic night, the AI generates the perfect ambiance. Furthermore, the system includes an intelligent auto-off feature that detects blank screens, conserving energy when your content ends.
Pricing and Availability
Lepro is positioning the STV1 as a highly accessible upgrade for a wide range of display sizes. The product is available starting today in two distinct configurations:
- Standard Version: 11.8-foot length, optimized for 55- to 65-inch TVs, retailing at $89.99.
