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.
It seems alot more complicated than it is. I've just done it on my pc using a rpi and capture card and on my tv using ethernet to transmit the info to the pi to output on the leds
Best video out there explaining the WHOLE process. Tried this almost a year ago and didnt get it to work properly. Pretty sure this detailed video will get me to the promised land.
if there's a YT reward for best tutorial ever done, u sir get my vote. I don't ever plan on doing this and i don't even know why i ended up on this video/channel but i watched the entire thing from start to finish.
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'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?
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.
Wow what an amazing tutorial. Sadly it also confirmed I'll never do this. I would totally be able to thanks to the tutorial but it also showed me the amount of work and time needed and that I simply can't do. So thank you for a great tutorial and putting this to rest for me :). Such a relief!
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.
Brittany i literally pictured you programming your rasberry pi arduino and configuring Hyperion for your Ws281x controller, while troubleshooting voltage drop. Don't forget to connect the wire from GPIO18 to channel 1 on the 3.3v side.
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!
Great video, detail is great. LED around my screen isn't really my thing but fantastic job explaining how to. And here we all thought you just sat around watching TV :-)
As soon as I started watching this I was worried about HDCP and CEC the fact you covered all this early on and even mentioned HDFury means you know what you're talking about. Have my follow fellow AV guy.
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.
Wow this is the most in-depth and well thought out tutorial I think I have watched for anything. I do not have an understanding of TV's and video standards and have been looking into doing this. Watching other tutorials and (through no fault of the other tutorials, it is because of my base understanding) I thought it was outside of my ability. After watching this one I'm now sure I can. Thank you.
If I'm not mistaken, having the resistor on the data IN would have probably prevented you from needing the logic board. If the logic board just "cleans up" the signal, the resistor would have done the same job for less $$. Great tutorial though!
I watched this from start to end. I have not seen a tutorial like this ever on CZcams. The quality. I think I could have put it on mute and i still would have understood. Liked, and subscribed.
This is probably the only tutorial that places the lights all the way to the TVs edge giving the best effects 🤷🏻♂️ most put the lights on the flat back part of the TV then if u hang the TV the effect is ok at best nice job 👍🏼✌🏼
That is an absolute masterpiece tutorial. Just my opinion... that's alot of work for a setup alittle quicker and brighter than hue or govee but is less compatible with tv streaming.
WoW!! I wanted this sort of lighting for the back of my projector screen, but after watching the full tutorial and your "Majestic" direction. ;) i thought there would be No way I am Capable of playing with all the I.T Stuff. But you did a Fantastic job!
Finally completed this with success .. went with the gofanco and hdmi capture you suggested .. but instead used digi quad and WLED instead of GPIO pin on the pi .. works amazing but I should have went with 300 per instead of 150.. may change it later .. paired with the hisence laser tv I bought after ur review .. appreciate everything you do man
Oh forgot to mention I have the hisense and WLED in home assistant so when the hisense reports playing node red turns on the led other wise it turns it off
Amazing tutorial ! But I got three words '' Goove immersion kit " the latency on the lights has about a half of a second but it is extremely easy to install and it works just fine. 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.
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.
Great tutorial, plus the written version! I remember trying this about 10 years ago, was great..when it worked. Looks like the software has come a long way since then, maybe time to try again!
You spoke clearly video was very detailed and clear step by step instructions ..yet my brain 🧠 process it like Charlie Browns teacher talking going to call around see if I buy the parts can some one do all the rest thanks for the video 👍
The result is amazing. The tutorial is excellent - probably good enough that I might actually be able to make this work even though this is wellll beyond me. Unfortunately it does seem like A LOT of work, and (more importantly) too many potential problems that I won't be able to resolve for me to throw my time and hundreds of dollars at this.
Thanks so much for making this video! I did this project last year using a separate tutorial and eventually unplugged it from my PS5 because HDR was not working (once you see it you can't go back). I had one of the cheap splitters but I'll use your recommendation to buy the gofanco splitter.
I will admit it's a lot of work but the juice is worth the squeeze. Would you consider putting the kits together if I provided you the size details and shipping it. With full payment of course? 🤟😁
I had the DreamScreen 4K prior to switching over to Phillips Hue for the living room tv. This was a fantastic tutorial. I’ll definitely go this route with my desktop setup.
HDMI CEC works as a bus so it is simply a connected wire between pin 13 of all HDMI connections. All inputs and outputs pin 13 shares the same exact line. you can simply do a continuity test on your device's input and output HDMI ports' pin 13 and all should be connected to each other.
GREAT COMPLETE tutorial BUT I have important question would the splitter pass trough HDR10+, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos? Because of it screws that up, that won't work for most enthusiast setups? And a smaller question, would it work on Raspberry ZERO W?
Great tutorial I've been running prismatik on windows for pc gaming for years now, might have to give this a shot with living room TV anyways thanks for all the detailed information keep up the great work.
Hey I’m a little late to the party but about this issue at 7:13 there is a fork from Hyperion called HyperHDR that addressing this problem with washed out colors on HDR content Also awesome video I’m currently sourcing every part for this project myself and I’m hyped
The best explanation I've ever found! Really appreciate your hard work! I've got 1 question related to sharing one ground between led strip and PI4. Does it apply to WS2815 12V as well? Best regards!
HyperHDR (a Fork of Hyperion) allows for software sided HDR to SDR Tone-Mapping so you can choose a cheaper HDMI Splitter it still should support HDCP 2.2 otherwise you’ll lose Ambilight on protected content like Netflix
Can you make a video on how to install Hyperion on BigSur MacOS as I am not able to get it working and not able to find any tutorials. Also this should be with out any external hardware device such as HDMI splitter. Just LED, Node MCU and MACOS
Thanks for the tutorial. I know understand why Philips price their Ambilight solution so high. I'm not a DYI guy, so please forgive me, folks. I envy those who take this route, but if I'll choose to have Ambilight I will probably go with a complete solution.
Tbh, Philips Hue still way too expensive for the ambilight set. I like their products but for the ambilight they just showed how greedy they are. This project looks fun but have some of the Hue’s problems too, like not being compatible with 120fps and, in case of the DIY, looks like it won’t be able to pass through Dolby atmos, Dolby vision, etc. Honestly, the Govee is like the best option aside for the camera that ruins the clean look.
Great video bro and I wouldn't mind trying this but it would be very complicated for someone like me who knows nothing about it I think you should send one to trinidad for me 😂😂😂😂
I just tried Govee ambient light, looks good but with my LCD screen the color shift results in serious imprecisions. Thanks for this tutorial, I'm really thinking about building this out
This is a great tutorial to educate me to not bother doing this. Just not for me. Still, it’s a great straight forward look at what’s involved so people can make the right choice for themselves.
Hi guys, yesterday I tried to put together a Hyperion Ambilight setup. Howeer, me and my buddy hit a dead end. I really hope someone can point me the right direction. I will be as detailed as possible. The equipment I got is: 12V power supply 12V ARGB LED strip w/4 terminals. (WS2815) 1080p (4K?) Capture card. -Raspberry Pi 4B. So here's the current setup: The 12V power supply red and white cables are wired to the corresponding wires on the LED strip. On the other set of inputs in the LED strip, the two middle inputs are wired together to the 18 GPIO pin (to the best of our abilities), and the ground is plugged to the 3rd pin. Then, with a USB cable, the Pi is plugged to a capture card, which has a FireTV stick as an input, and it's plugged to my TV as an output Now, the biggest problems are: When turning the power supply on with the exact setup as mentioned above, a lot of interference and stuttering is introduced to the TV picture, sometimes the picture even dies. And the LEDs are all dead. Unplugging the ground cable that goes from the Pi to the LED strip still introduces interference, but the LEDs work. However, only a handful, and they flash in random colors. Some things I'd like to mention: Hyperion is up and running, and I did some initial config. Enough to make sure it is detecting an input signal from the capture card, and for it to map the image to imaginary LEDs. Sometimes I'd try to unplug one of the Data input cables and alternate,. to no avail. I did activate the GPIO pin from the Pi itself. After some trial and error, we managed to make the entirety of the LEDs, it looked like the power cables weren't wired properly or strongly enough. We may be wrong tho. However, the LEDs were frozen in random colors, not reacting at all. At some point, tapping the Pi would make the leds change color lol.
Great work keep it up brother 👍🏽, first info I actually found was on the logic converter though you mentioned you didn't find any when looking to do my project your video was the second I saw the first had info on it quick question how many LEDs on your projection setup I'm having an issue where I can't run more than 490 and I need 504 on my 120 inch screen
I understand the LEDs and Pi will require an external power supply, BUT why not use the video signal from TV USB port to feed the Pi to take advantage of the TV applications (most of what I watch) and not just the external video sources (only DVD player in my case). I have seen this might be possible on "5 great uses of your TV's USB port by Dignited": "The USB port on the TV also allows you to connect accessories to beautify the TV and its surrounding environment and enhance the user’s viewing experience. Also, 8K TVs from manufacturers such as Samsung (this is what I have) and LG have a sports ambient light function, and you can also purchase third-party TV lights that can be connected to the TV via a USB port".
Hmmm trying to figure out how to use the TV as the streaming device vs using another device again… Sony OLED 65’. I will try to go to the 77” at some point soon.. I’d also like to use the optimal splitter for $400+.
Chris, thanks for the tutorial, by far the best I've seen! Quick question - you briefly showed an AVR with dual HDMI outputs in the video - have you tried the Hyperion setup using the second HDMI output from the receiver directly to the HDMI capture device? I'm running an Onkyo TX-NR6050 with dual HDMI out. I see in the receiver settings that I can enable both outputs and set the second one to a lower resolution. I watch a mix of SDR and HDR content through Xbox Series X and Apple TV 4K. I have two HDMI cables running from the receiver to the TV so it would be easy for me to set everything up at the TV using the second HDMI output from the receiver.
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.
This that helps alot. Thank you loads for your time. Can't wait. But looks like it's the 400dollor box gurrr
Do I still need the splitter if use a receiver with 2 HDMI outputs
@@ajaltonwilliams1986 good question
Chris have you used the hyperhdr software? If so are you able to use a different capture card?
thats what i thought while watching your vid...
I don't know if I'll ever gather the will and the courage to try this, but this was a hell of a tutorial. Great job man.
this is much easier and cheaper ;) czcams.com/video/32lxvs7qkSs/video.html
Same here bro still watching full video
It seems alot more complicated than it is. I've just done it on my pc using a rpi and capture card and on my tv using ethernet to transmit the info to the pi to output on the leds
It is actually pretty easy and straight forward
Best video out there explaining the WHOLE process. Tried this almost a year ago and didnt get it to work properly. Pretty sure this detailed video will get me to the promised land.
The main reason people has issue getting it to work is hyperion needs root permissions and it's doesn't have it from stock. You need to give it sudo
Must have spent a hella time at MicroCenter on this. Appreciate you!
This is a very detailed tutorial. I haven't seen anything on the internet that explains ambient lighting this well. Great job!
if there's a YT reward for best tutorial ever done, u sir get my vote. I don't ever plan on doing this and i don't even know why i ended up on this video/channel but i watched the entire thing from start to finish.
This tutorial is amazingly detailed, helpful, and high quality. I never do projects like this, but, now I feel motivated to do it!

Hi guys, yesterday I tried to put together a Hyperion Ambilight setup. Howeer, me and my buddy hit a dead end. I really hope someone can point me the right direction. I will be as detailed as possible.
The equipment I got is:
12V power supply
12V ARGB LED strip w/4 terminals. (WS2815)
1080p (4K?) Capture card.
-Raspberry Pi 4B.
So here's the current setup:
The 12V power supply red and white cables are wired to the corresponding wires on the LED strip.
On the other set of inputs in the LED strip, the two middle inputs are wired together to the 18 GPIO pin (to the best of our abilities), and the ground is plugged to the 3rd pin.
Then, with a USB cable, the Pi is plugged to a capture card, which has a FireTV stick as an input, and it's plugged to my TV as an output
Now, the biggest problems are:
When turning the power supply on with the exact setup as mentioned above, a lot of interference and stuttering is introduced to the TV picture, sometimes the picture even dies. And the LEDs are all dead.
Unplugging the ground cable that goes from the Pi to the LED strip still introduces interference, but the LEDs work. However, only a handful, and they flash in random colors.
Some things I'd like to mention:
Hyperion is up and running, and I did some initial config. Enough to make sure it is detecting an input signal from the capture card, and for it to map the image to imaginary LEDs.
Sometimes I'd try to unplug one of the Data input cables and alternate,. to no avail.
I did activate the GPIO pin from the Pi itself.
After some trial and error, we managed to make the entirety of the LEDs, it looked like the power cables weren't wired properly or strongly enough. We may be wrong tho. However, the LEDs were frozen in random colors, not reacting at all.
At some point, tapping the Pi would make the leds change color lol.
Great work keep it up brother 👍🏽, first info I actually found was on the logic converter though you mentioned you didn't find any when looking to do my project your video was the second I saw the first had info on it quick question how many LEDs on your projection setup I'm having an issue where I can't run more than 490 and I need 504 on my 120 inch screen
I understand the LEDs and Pi will require an external power supply, BUT why not use the video signal from TV USB port to feed the Pi to take advantage of the TV applications (most of what I watch) and not just the external video sources (only DVD player in my case). I have seen this might be possible on "5 great uses of your TV's USB port by Dignited": "The USB port on the TV also allows you to connect accessories to beautify the TV and its surrounding environment and enhance the user’s viewing experience. Also, 8K TVs from manufacturers such as Samsung (this is what I have) and LG have a sports ambient light function, and you can also purchase third-party TV lights that can be connected to the TV via a USB port".
Best video on this! Thanks a lot for sharing
Awesome job and effort on the video! Keep it up!
Umm... okay... this is AWESOME!!!
Tiles so exited thks
Thanks, this is what im loooking for, because my nano wont do it on my TV.
Thank you for being you.
Hmmm trying to figure out how to use the TV as the streaming device vs using another device again… Sony OLED 65’. I will try to go to the 77” at some point soon.. I’d also like to use the optimal splitter for $400+.
Note that the hyperion app is now called hyperion control hope it helps
This was a great tutorial but this is so much to do
Chris, thanks for the tutorial, by far the best I've seen! Quick question - you briefly showed an AVR with dual HDMI outputs in the video - have you tried the Hyperion setup using the second HDMI output from the receiver directly to the HDMI capture device? I'm running an Onkyo TX-NR6050 with dual HDMI out. I see in the receiver settings that I can enable both outputs and set the second one to a lower resolution. I watch a mix of SDR and HDR content through Xbox Series X and Apple TV 4K. I have two HDMI cables running from the receiver to the TV so it would be easy for me to set everything up at the TV using the second HDMI output from the receiver.
