Theatrium Live
Ambient art & light sync
Only for Apple TV
$2.99
Apple TV
Your music, filling the screen. Your lights, matched to the art. Theatrium Live turns an idle Apple TV into the best-looking thing in the room.
Theatrium Live turns your Apple TV into an ambient music display with the option of synchronising your connected lights, for a truly immersive music experience.
Put on an album and it fills the screen with the cover art, angled like a record sleeve with a soft reflection underneath. Press once and it steps into a full-screen visualizer — dozens of styles, from slow drifting color fields to sharp, rhythm-driven motion. Every style is built from the song's own tempo, not a microphone, so it stays in time even with the TV turned down.
If you have Apple Home lights, Theatrium Live can sync them to what's playing: the lights in your room cross-fade slowly through the colors on screen, never flashing or strobing. HomeKit is entirely optional — the album art and visualizer are a complete ambient display on their own, with or without connected lights.
Theatrium Live reads whatever is already playing on this Apple TV. Choose your source once, in Settings:
• Apple Music — no setup, plays straight from your library
• Last.fm — for scrobbling setups
• Sonos — found automatically on your network
What you need:
• An Apple TV 4K
• One of the sources above, with something playing
• An Apple Home with HomeKit lights, only if you want the light sync
Everything lives on the screen. No phone, no companion app, no account.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Faster, smoother visuals — and a big difference on older Apple TVs.
New
• The visualiser runs considerably faster on every Apple TV. The improvement is largest on the 2017 model, where several styles were previously running at a fraction of their proper speed.
• Bringing up the on-screen controls no longer slows the visuals down while they are showing.
• The control panels have a cleaner, higher-contrast look that stays readable over bright album art.
Still to come
• The visuals take a few seconds to reach full speed after you start them.
• Moving around the pop-up menus is still a little slow on the 2017 Apple TV.
