    I want to note that if you plan on using multiple power supplies you should NOT wire the positive wires together. In other words, if you're using 2 strips you'll connect one power supply to each strip but you don't connect the positive wires on the same circuit. You should wire all of the ground wires together.

    Since no one mentioned it, 5:32 on HDMI splitter. You don't need to buy a special splitter for HDR tone mapping. Hyperion has a fork (version) called HyperHDR and this is a software based HDR mapping. This means, if CEC is important to you (it was to me), get a splitter that does support CEC (exp. EZCOO has these), and let HyperHDR do the rest.

    Everyone keeps saying "it's too much work. I would rather get the Govee or Hue instead." Sadly, they only go up to 75" or 85" (100" is the highest I've seen). Most projector screens start around 100". So if you are doing 150" screen, there aren't many alternative options. Great stuff @Chris. I plan on attempting this in the very near future!

    I mean…it looks REALLY good. But, by the end I was calculating how much I make an hour vs the number of hours it would take me to get this right and I think it might technically cost me more money than the Hue setup 😂

      Don't get Hue, get Govee instead and hide the camera under the TV with some décor. Phillips hue is the worst of the 3 options since it's the most expensive and delivers the worst result.

  • @alexandsimba
    @alexandsimba 3 года назад +6

    Make the bottom strip the last one in the chain, and start from the bottom right side if you are looking at the back of the TV. This will give you the option of removing the bottom led strip if you have cables you want to hide, or if you install a center channel in the future. I learned this the hard way, but luckily it was on a monitor that was easy to reach behind.

  • @SnoWakeFPV
    @SnoWakeFPV 2 года назад +2

    I've been planning this project for awhile now, and as an individually-addressable LED, Raspberry Pi nerd - had definitely settled on the DIY approach. I've watched several tutorials, and this is hands-down the definitive source of accurate and detailed information. Total bonus when I learned that Hyperion supports WLED - so I'm driving my strip with a Dig-Uno controller w/ WLED. This gives me a two-for-one setup allowing the maximum number of effects, as well as Home Assistant integration.
    After much planning and research, finally pulled the trigger and ordered all my parts: Could quite cough up the $$$ for the Diva, so settled on the Prophecy. Already missing the CEC functionality -- just means I'm going to need to up my Home Assistant automation game to overcome the the loss. Not sure I'm getting 4K@120Hz through the setup -- but could be a PS5 thing. :)
    Thanks for the great content and insight! I couldn't be happier with the results!
    Any thoughts on using an HDMI switch as an input - so that I can share the setup between PS5 and AppleTV?

    I'm in the middle of this project getting the required items and happen to go to Walmart and see a HDMI splitter by ONN. It's 4K and does HDR. I decided to try it out and it works. For just $30. Just a heads up in case people doesn't want to spend the $130 for the Gaming splitter on Amazon. Great video, you've made it so simple so far!

      It's not that hard especially with Chris tutorial. He covered most of the stuff I got wrong the first time using Google. The only thing I would suggest is to start from the left side of the TV and leave the bottom LED for last. This will let you take it off in the future if you don't want to light up cables or the TV stand.

    amazing setup, really great video. i do think that after seeing that you need to buy a ton of equipment (some of it pretty expensive), the complexity of setting it up, and then you might get flicker which you have to buy (and hand solder) another piece to fix, and you might get lag... most people are going to just get a govee. i get that it isn't quite as good but it's plug and play. and until someone can make this plug and play (or substantially easier), i just don't think many will do this.

I think if you're not working for a tech company or anything of that matter that involves all the skill that you have in this field, I'm going to tell you right now that you should be looking into it because they are a lot of places that will pay you to install these devices specially since Goove only supports TVs from 55 to 65 inches, and your method seems like it could fit anything bigger than that.

    This might seem like a stupid question, but if you already have the HDFury Diva as shown in this video, then why do you need Hyperion? It seems the HDFury has LED ambilight controls natively built-in. Can someone please explain?

    the resolution number you're changing. Is this the output resolution that your TV will display video at? Im hoping not as those low resolutions would not make for very watchable content.

    am I able to host Hyperion on the same PC I plan to capture the display? and does that mean I don't need the capture card and HDMI splitter unless I had other devices hooked up to the monitor?
