If you already run MultiViewer for multi-stream race viewing, you have built the ultimate F1 command centre on your monitors. Race RGB is the missing piece for the rest of the room.
The Race RGB desktop app reads MultiViewer’s live timing directly on your PC and drives your Philips Hue, LIFX or Govee lights from it. Because both apps read the same timing, your lights stay locked to what you’re watching, even when you rewind, scrub or watch a full replay. There is no delay slider to calibrate.
Why pair them with Race RGB
Reads MultiViewer’s live timing for zero-delay flag reactions, live or on replays
No broadcast-delay calibration: lights match exactly what MultiViewer shows
Every flag in real time: green, yellow, red, safety car, VSC, fastest lap, chequered
MV-native Qualifying Mode: sector-by-sector lighting with a switchable driver picker
Personalized Reactions on desktop for Hue, LIFX and Govee: your colour, effect and brightness per flag
Connects directly to your lights over your network, far snappier than the cloud
How to set it up
- 1
Get the desktop app
The MultiViewer integration lives in the Race RGB desktop app, included with the Season Pass. Install it on the same PC you watch on.
- 2
Open MultiViewer
Run MultiViewer with your F1 source (e.g. F1TV) and open its Live Timing window. Replays work too: open Replay Live Timing.
- 3
Connect in Race RGB
Race RGB detects MultiViewer automatically. Pick your lights and click Connect. Flags now follow your screen with no calibration.
- 4
Scrubbed the video? Press “s”
If you fast-forward or rewind in MultiViewer, press “s” to resync the video to live timing and your lights stay matched.
MultiViewer lighting questions
Does Race RGB integrate with MultiViewer (F1MV)?
Yes, directly. The Race RGB desktop app reads MultiViewer’s live timing on your own machine and drives your smart lights straight from it. Flags hit your room in step with what MultiViewer shows, live or during a replay, with no broadcast-delay guesswork.
Do I need the desktop app for the MultiViewer integration?
Yes. The MultiViewer integration runs in the Race RGB desktop app (a Season Pass perk, on Windows and macOS). Race RGB also works standalone in the browser without MultiViewer, using a broadcast-delay setting instead.
What do I need to set it up?
Three things, all on the same PC: the Race RGB desktop app, the MultiViewer app, and your F1 source (e.g. F1TV). Open MultiViewer’s Live Timing (or Replay Live Timing) window, then click Connect in Race RGB. That’s it, no calibration step.
What happens if I rewind or fast-forward in MultiViewer?
Press “s” in MultiViewer to resync the video to live timing. Race RGB follows the same timing feed, so your lights stay matched to what’s on screen.
Does Qualifying Mode work with MultiViewer?
Yes. MV-native Qualifying Mode lights your room by sector as a driver sets a lap, live or on a replay, with a searchable driver picker you can switch at any time to follow a different onboard.
Which lights and flags are supported?
Philips Hue, LIFX and Govee, with Nanoleaf coming in 2026. Every flag is covered: green, yellow, red, safety car, virtual safety car, fastest lap and chequered. On the desktop app you can set your own colour, effect and brightness per flag with Personalized Reactions.
