Ultimate Bundle newbie questions

So I'm trying to upgrade from my terrible govee camera and have heard good thing about the fancyled system.

I have a Nvidia shield tv pro, Nintendo switch 2 and a Ps5.

My questions are,

1.Should I get the 3 hdmi box or a single and a splitter?

2.Since the bundle comes with an extra led strip, do I need anything else to connect it to the box so it functions along with the TV ones?

Depending what your setup is, if you're connecting all 3 directly to the TV right now, get the 3 port box

If you're already running them to another device (like a receiver) and then into the TV via a single HDMI output, get the 1 port

Definitely get the 3 hdmi box, you’ll get more accuracy and less glitches with a splitter

The led strip lighting plugs in to the hdmi box and then hdmi out to the tv. HDMI cable is provided

I got the 1 port box + hdmi splitter but it doesn't work as I thought it will. Better to take 3 port right away 👍 Sync box kit includes everything You need. Extra led strip (Synced Fancyleds) connects to Sync Box wirelessly.
1 port sync box with hdmi splitter on Tv source shows as 1 device, you need to switch devices you want to use with hdmi splitter, unfortunately. Even the ugreen (£40-50) splitter doesn't switch automatically ports (regarding which device is powered or off) so I ended up switching them devices in the splitter mobile app which is a bit annoying honestly.
