I’m trying to talk my husband into doing something like this next year. Thanks for making this walk through. I gives us a good estimate of the amount of supplies needed.
You're trying to talk with your husband so you can do it together - like working together on the whole thing, or you're trying to talk with your husband so he can do it for you? :)))
I'm curious about the smart long range controllers; what they are, what makes them smart, what the "long range" is for.. thanks for the video, your set up is really neat
The Smart long range is able to be daisy chained. I'm sure there is more to it but that is the main thing. Long range is just a single board you can't daisy chain.
Awesome tour and show! Planning on doing this for my first house next year using the same products from HolidayCoro. Would like to see more info on how you do the music part. I’ve been watching their video and they say you need to play the sequence from the CPU using uploaded sequence on an SD card but it looks like this is not the case for your display?
great setup for your setup you have 2 power supply hook up to run your pixels if i want to hook up 2 power supply do i just connect other wire from the first power supply to the negative ground postive thank you
where to you order pixels, controllers, power so on from? looks amazing! I'm jealous! I won my neighborhood light show this year but I'm going have to step up my game next year with Addressable cause it was a close call
We use many vendors, we really like Holiday Coro as they are a one-stop shop. But you can get better prices for the lights if you buy from China, we used Wally Lights Last year for our China Order and were very happy! Thanks for watching.
Hi, great video you made, and better still your light show is incredible. i was just wondering with the bulb outline going across the front yard, how high off the ground is the pvc?
It does not do RDS unfortunately. But other then that it is really solid! Signstek ST-05B FM Transmitter for Church, Dual Mode Long Range Stereo Broadcast with Antenna, Black www.amazon.com/dp/B0863J1Y3H/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_85AF5N7YCQY439ZC6JT6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
@@CrosscreekLights During the off-season could you do more videos in depth about putting together a light show like this. Where you get products from why you chose the products you chose some advice for beginners
@@ethananderson1682 For sure, I didnt expect the channel to blow up like it did. So I'm going to try to make some videos in the off season. Thanks for Watching
It all depends on the show you would like to run, Our first year we used 800-pixel lights and only used 1 controller. Most controllers come in 16 port configurations and thats what I would recommend starting off with. Each Port can do 200-pixel lights.
We shut ours off at 10pm every night. And don't turn them back on until 5 mins to show time. This helps the pixels last longer and reduces power. Thanks for watching! 😁
By my count, you're running SIX 350 watt power supplies on a single 15 amp (20 if you're lucky) outlet? You're really playing chicken with your breaker box. Guessing you're not running much of anything over 30% brightness? Each one of those pulls 6.8 amps fully loaded, so 6 of them sharing a single 15 amp circuit... We are pushing 4500 or so pixels on a single HinksPix Pro controller with dual 350 watt supplies running off one 20 amp outlet. Obviously the draw isn't constant for a pixel show, but sheesh...6 on one outlet is really pushing it to me!
In the future, you will not want to share your FM transmitter setup. That cheap Chinese FM transmitter is NOT FCC approved and you could get fined severely by the FCC seeing how it is transmitting well over the 1/10 watt maximum! By showing this on your video, you are admitting guilt, should the FCC come knocking on your door. Just a friendly warning.

make sure you upload some videos!
Very Nice! Thanks for sharing!
This will be my first year doing pixels and this was very helpful! Thank you.
You did a real nice job with the setup. Thanks for the video.
Nice seeing a behind the scenes of a HolidayCoro user, well done
I'm curious about the smart long range controllers; what they are, what makes them smart, what the "long range" is for.. thanks for the video, your set up is really neat
Loading capacity,for example one Controller support 8*1024 PIXELS
The Smart long range is able to be daisy chained. I'm sure there is more to it but that is the main thing. Long range is just a single board you can't daisy chain.
Here is a video that explains regular and smart long range and their limits: ruclips.net/video/H41tr1gd2Y4/видео.html
@@HolidayCoro Really cool to see a company comment on your videos! Love your products can't wait for the presale 2022!

I’ve been watching their video and they say you need to play the sequence from the CPU using uploaded sequence on an SD card but it looks like this is not the case for your display?
For most controllers including the holiday coro ones you can send data over the ethernet cable from a show pc to run your show.
You can do either...
Play the sequence of a computer...
Or if you have a Hinkspix Pro you can put it in standalone mode, and run it of the SD card

I believe it's around 6 inches. We do have rebar underneath the pvc so it only acts as a cover for the main rebar.
Great Video!!!!
Thanks!
Bravo!! I have all Holiday Coro products myself and this is the 1st behind the scenes, I’ve seen. Love your display and the 7’ccanes are amazing
I love rich people! Cool shit.
Nice video!
Can you share your FM transmitter? Does it do RDS? Thanks
It does not do RDS unfortunately. But other then that it is really solid!

I am planning to do this in the years to come. Could you make a long video explaining and going thru everything needed and how to do it?
There is alot that goes into it but, we plan to make some more videos during the year for behind the scenes
Hi, Great setup, What voltage are all your pixels?
12V pixels! Good question.
You will shorten the transmitter's life if you use that tiny included antenna on the high power mode.
One day i will have a setup like this
It was almost 3 years in the making.
Great job I got a few new ideas thanks
Love watching behind the scenes for the same reasons! Definitely pick up some good ideas!

Would be great to see prop designs more indepth eg talking tree then the programming side
Would be curious on a total parts list and pricing workup for doing something like this. mainly the controllers, lights etc.
My guess is that he has around $3,000 into this display as shown (excluding the computer and networking stuff).
I wanna do something like this for Christmas this year how many controllers do you typically need
It all depends on the show you would like to run, Our first year we used 800-pixel lights and only used 1 controller. Most controllers come in 16 port configurations and thats what I would recommend starting off with. Each Port can do 200-pixel lights.
How many watts does the entire system use running at full power with all lights on
Under 900 watts based on the information provided above.
i want to do this but take the time to cable manage, you make my pc look bad
needs 50 beam fixtures and a grandMA3
jk, awesome stage- I mean house lighting rig
interesting that you dont use DMX or artnet tho
Within the Hobby DMX isn't very common. But I've seen some using beam fixtures. Hard to make them waterproof tho!
@@CrosscreekLights there are lots of waterproof stage fixtures. id say, most modern ones are. just not practical to buy.
What's the programming/control software?
Xlights is the most popular one. This is what I see most people use.
Many run Xmas lites Left on all night everyone's in bed zzz's 10pm WHY waste power

We actually use 2 circuits and only run 4 powersupplies off of one circuit. Plus we are no where near maxing the 350 watts.
*класс и привет от тренера по футболу!!!!!-*
So Many UMs :P
🤣😂😂
Very nice but OMG that cable management. Yikes.
pixels not bulbs,
Doesn't look very weather resistant.
All the products shown there are completely designed for outdoor use.
