@ChrisMaherDIY hi Chris have you ever used hyperion or hyperhdr I'm abit stuck I was wondering if you could help as you know your stuff I have 244 led around my tv ws2812b 60led pm I know how to hook everything up capture card rasberry pi etc but only thing I don't have is the 5v 10amp plug and barrell I do have a 5v 60 amp power block thing could I use this instead or would that blow my leds and rasberry pi ? My tv sat waiting lol or should I order adapter and barrell and wait a few weeks ? I know you can use the block on wled and set its amp to what you want with esp32 but hyperion I don't think you can can you ?

[@cooljaybz]

im simply amazed how much effort you put into this. especially the computation of power source

[@rolfathan]

Amazing. This has gone beyond what I see backlighting as normally, this gives the illusion that it's being brightly reflected off of surfaces beyond the screen, because it's just that dense of pixels. This is great.

[@Mithinco]

This is getting incredibly elaborate! I'm all for it!

Incredible resolution on the per pixel animation with this setup. Awesome tutorial! I have been searching for a guide like this for some time. I appreciate all your hard work. Thank you very much for putting this together in such an approachable manner. I’m so pumped to try this out in my setup!

Chris outstanding work! I found myself doing the same around the apartment. Let's just say my friends think it's amazing! Love your work. Thanks for the New application to play with!

[@ahmedelboghdadi5328]

Chris, you're a legend man! I honestly can't thank you enough! I've been meaning to build one of those fancy setups using one of the products sold solely for that kind of setup however I reverted back from doing so considering spend priorities and necessities and whatnot, however this gives me exactly what I'd like to have completely for free except with the limitation of devices to have the setup run on being a pc software rather than hardware that can be connected to other HDMI devices like a gaming console. I'm still very happy to have that setup for pc only and am quite surprised if I'm being honest to have such precise configuration and accurate results with just software! I thought it's possible but didn't expect it to be available that soon yet alone for free! Thanks so much, Chris. You really are one of my top go-to guys when it comes to ambient lighting and décor ❤ Keep up the great work! 👏👏

Thanks buddy! Its fun to think about the type of setup I could come up with!! Already wondering how I can do this in the living room!

[@bobgodd]

​​@@ChrisMaherDIYseems I'm stuck with hyperion for now, unless this can work without pc? Using a raspberry pi and screen grabber has worked, but this setup process looks nicer and more comprehensive than hyperion.

[@GamerMasterlink]

@@bobgoddIt seems that the only solution for this easy setup is to actually have a PC as a TV box. It appears that for now, SignalRGB is Windows-only, so that would mean using software like Kodi or Stremio as a frontend library for your media. This narrows your options, as you'll need to buy a PC that can handle Windows 10, so that means no SBCs (well, there are SOME SBCs that work) for that purpose. I MIGHT try this, but Hyperion seems like the more budget-friendly option. I hope that they port the software to Linux, since that would open a world of opportunities!

[@Defyant123]

I did something similar using a Raspberry Pi, an Arduino, HyperHDR and a hdmi capture card. The beauty of mine is, it doesn't matter if I'm watching my Shield, My Switch, Gaming PC, the lights work with everything and not just the PC.

[@pete.n.]

Do you have more infos about your setup? If I can not use native TV functionallity with this, it is not for me. Your approach sounds promising

[@CH11LER.]

@pete.n. I can't watch native tv either (live channels from the antenna) to do that. You would need something like Govee envisual T2. I never watch live tv, so I didn't think about it while writing.

[@jimmyharrison5411]

Hey man, God Bless, love love this setup, so the home theater and gaming setup all in one space? Nice!

[@wigglodamus]

Very very cool! I would experiment with making the LEDs at further distance from the screen progressively dimmer.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thats a great idea and you could 100% do that! So many ways to customize things and do literally whatever you want!

[@Hoss_VegasTTV]

That’s my thought and having the “blurrier” the further away they are

[@danieltandello5074]

Both dimmer and blurrier, I think this could be done adding a second smaller layout closer to the center, with the larger one being 100% light intensity and the smaller being 50/70% light intensity.

[@danieltandello5074]

This would make the car shot so much prettier.

[@thomashouseworth7713]

Feels the the finishing touch! beauty. my wife said I can do this as long at its in the shop... you know what that means!!!!

[@crwyckoff]

Setup looks awesome. Hopefully they will come out with something that works with this setup that does something similar to Govee's camera / syncbox and other like products. I just want my HDMI 2.1 support without having to go through multiple boxes and still lose features.

[@videocreations27]

Holy Shit..... Mind BLOWN!!!!!!!

[@Albandito77]

Superb 👍. All we need now is a box that can take multiple hdmi 2.1 VRR supported inputs and 1 out to screen that we can read input from, so lights can be controlled for all connected devices.

[@gytisdyglys4966]

I'm wondering how to accomplish this idea what you just explained 😂

[@AtracBreezy]

Blackbird 8k 1x4 on Monoprice. Or any receiver made in the last 3ish years

[@300beatz]

A Hyperion ambulance setup can do multiple inputs and works with Netflix and streaming services Etc. It requires a few extra parts and a few extra steps but it looks awesome when you're done. I use mine on regular broadcast tv, streaming services, with my playstation, my computer, and my retropie emulator box.

a micro pc could be perfect for your setup. They have some really incredible palm sized pc's for $300 or so dollars. It would be very easy to hide, mixed with a wireless keyboard track pad combo.

[@OldGoatWorkshop]

That's awesome. Does this only work with an input or will it work with smart tv apps as well? I have an Sony 85" smart TV and mostly use the apps on it. Only input I use is game console and it's fed through my AV receiver.

[@mindbound777]
