See Your Battlestation In A Whole New Light

Produkteinführung

Aug 21, 2018, Los Angeles, CA – NZXT, a leading developer of software-powered hardware solutions for PC gaming, today announces the HUE 2 family of RGB accessories for the PC, powered by CAM. Consisting of 10 new products, including the four-channel HUE 2 RGB controller and the external HUE 2 ambient light controller, along with several new accessories, the new HUE 2 ecosystem provides PC builders more options for customizing their systems.

If our H Series cases provide a canvas for people to build the gaming PC of their dreams, then our new HUE 2 family provides the palette they paint with,” said Johnny Hou, founder of NZXT. “We love to celebrate the creativity of PC builders and we can’t wait to see the amazing battlestations they create with this complete line of RGB lighting accessories.

A New Approach to RGB Accessories

One of the key innovations in the new HUE 2 family is the addition of a microcontroller to every single RGB accessory. This innovative, patent-pending feature allows each HUE 2 component to identify its specific LED configuration, breaking the limits faced by existing RGB components available today.

In addition to allowing for different LED counts and unique accessories, this feature lets the user mix-and-match different components on a single channel making installation easier and allowing lighting modes to be synchronized across channels.

Powered by CAM

HUE 2 products are seamlessly integrated into CAM, the free control and monitoring application from NZXT. The easy-to-use interface makes it simple to select from a variety of lighting modes, including preset, system, and custom modes. With lighting synchronization across channels and accessories and individually addressable RGB LEDs, there are nearly a limitless number of lighting setups to make your PC truly unique.

Light the inside (and outside) of your PC

At the heart of the HUE 2 ecosystem are four complete RGB kits that include everything you need to get started: the HUE 2 RGB Lighting Kit, HUE 2 Ambient Lighting Kit, Aer RGB 2 Starter Kit (120mm), and Aer RGB 2 Starter Kit (140mm). Choose one to get started and add accessories to complete and perfect your PC’s lighting.
