@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 ?
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.
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. 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.
@harshitrajsud9hridn unfortunately, unless you want a camera that faces the screen, it sat on top of your tv, I don't believe you can. Plus, where's the fun in that lol
@@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.
@@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!
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!
OMG!!! That is amazing. Thank you for highlighting this product. My mind is already racing with ideas that I can use Signal RGB with. I'm not sure how you do it, but you keep providing great content on every video. Thank you!!
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.
I was just thinking about your video a while back where you teased how to get the ambient lighting so accurate…now we know. Another great video my brother! God bless!
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.
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.
Signal RGB is great! Been using it for sometime to control the RGB on my son's and I setups. Works great to sync the Leds strips controlled by WLED in his room to his gaming computer.
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! 👏👏
This is on my list to do when I move overseas. Going to be fun watching movies and throwing parties with these LEDS in this setup. Truly cool stuff! With this kind of customizability, I bet this would work really well for quick and dirty EDM show setups and last minute raves.
I had not heard of Signal supprisingly i love your projetcts Chris keep up the good work and your a great reference for WLED Thanks for the info as Always my Friend Have A great Day !
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. You would have the perfect setup without the need for wireless HDMI or a pc/laptop being such an eye sore. Thank you for all the incredible videos you make Chris!!!
Looks amazing but might be a good idea to turn down the brightness of the LEDs to match the projector. As is, the LEDs are completely overpowering the screen rather than complementing it.
I personally use ambibox with serial output for my PC on an ultrawide monitor and it works perfectly with very little latency There is also the udp option but my router makes the latency horrible
oooooooo Chris this is SO AWESOME!!! and it works with Hue too! thank you, thank you, thank you for making this video! this IS my next lighting project!
Hi Chris, this is for pc setup. It’s looks awesome, but what if I watch tv from my server and have no hdmi signal? I guess it’s not easy to make ambilight in my case?
Awesome video Chris! Is there a way to use this without a PC and have it run through a receiver to use with video games/ movies through streaming devices?
i think the lights being attached to the wall around the screen makes it a bit worse as it ends up having hotspots on the wall instead of a gradient, or maybe its just more noticeable on camera. A little tweaking with the reactivity settings will do wonders
Thanks for watching! I debated with moving the alr screen out from the wall a couple inches to put the lights behind, but doing it the way I did allowed for the accuracy to really be shown during the mapping process which I really wanted to make known. Its definitely a unique look that I imagine some people will like and some wont but I will want to at some point try the more traditional behind the tv option as well!
I made the same screen backlight for only $25, and the kit includes both the ribbon and the receiver for the computer. It's funny what he's offering you!
Man, this was so informative and motivating I accidentally unliked trying to like it twice! What a fantastic resource, and that’s how I see this - far more deserving of the title resource! More than mere content - fantastic stuff, thank you!
I like the lights around the screen, these add to the content on display, the corner, cabinet and baseboard I am not a fan of, they distract your eyes from the screen, Awesome job on doing this and explaining how to set it up.
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!
This is soooo cool! Super excited to try this out on my computer setup. But is there a way to get this to work with WLED lights that are surrounding my smart TV? Any way to have a tv input signal into signalrgb?
Thanks so much for watching! Not that i'm aware of. The only downside is that at least in my understanding, the signal does have to come from the pc. I wonder if loading signal rgb to something like this amzn.to/4b1iwQW and using that as your streaming device would work? But I also dont see why at some point signalrgb wouldn't be able to make this available via androidtv, appletv, amazonfire, roku, etc via an app which would then be able to work like you are wanting it to!
@@ChrisMaherDIY yea I think something like that would work but then you’re completely losing out on smart tv and integrations with other smart home stuff (Google home and home assistant). It’s an option. Definitely better if SignalRGB makes an app for smart TVs tho… Even if you then have to use a laptop or a desktop to set it up.
Your setup is absolutely amazing and the program seems a great solution but it sadly wouldn't work for me because I use an AV-receiver between pc, console, iptv box and media player. I guess i have to make a new version with HyperHDR
I groaned when you said SignalLED because I've have so much trouble with it- but really the trouble I've had is not SignalLEDs fault, its manufacturers that don't follow their own standards very well, and make hardware that doesn't work right when SignalLED tries to talk to it. I think the secret to using SignalLED is to find online proof of any hardware actually working before you buy it. :O
Thanks for watching! Have you tried the WLED integration?! Nice thing is since its using WLED to talk to the lights, its not dependent on any specific hardware. There are so many companies that make addressable leds and I could use any of them and they should all work the same as long as they are running wled!
Nice! I did this using the app Hyperion which also syncs perfectly to WLED. But it is nice to see other software with other customization functionalities out there!
I'll put it on the video to do list. Its actually really neat. I don't think any hardcore gamers would be happy with it, but I've streamed content from my pc downstairs to a projector upstairs and both picture and sound were amazing. My wife and kids couldn't even tell the movie was not being streamed from the Nvidia shield like normally.
@@ChrisMaherDIY I look forward to this video too as I'm a bit confused about this. My content, whether it's TV or android box, gets sent through an AVR and then to the projector.
Dude this is awesome!!! I wish YT would quit changing my subscription stuff. I got this notification 5 days late. Anyways.... thank you for all you do. You have saved me a lot of headaches!!!
So why does the baseboard LEDs have more LEDs per foot? Would there be an issue if I used those on the back of my TV? Also, is SignalRGB able to be controlled from my phone once it's setup on my HTPC? Thanks and thank you for this great video.
Amazing project and video, I was not looking forward to paying for a Philips hue ambilight system. I had no idea there was there was such robust hobbyist solutions like this. Gonna start planning my next PC desktop build!
I actually had to exclaim out loud how that is A m a z i n g😮 ( I loved that I could tell from your voice that you felt the same excitement 😅 ) awesome channel one of my new favorite finds
Brother...stellar as always! I hope you realize what this means for your gaming setup as well. SignalRGB Pro allows for game integrations as you to play certain games...annnnnd since your desk and everything is WLED as well? You are truly an inspiration my friend.
Thanks so much! Yes 100% I debated doing this video focused on my gaming setup or the projector/tv rout. I ended up going the projector/tv but want to at some point do a follow up with my gaming space!
I am a huge fan of signalrgb. This use case doesnt seem all that practical however since you would need to use a PC as the source. Also the lack of black bar detection is a bummer
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. This is not going to be an option if you're wanting to use your built in tv apps. (Govee Camera System is your only option in that case: amzn.to/3UL76ez ) With this method you're connecting your pc to the tv or projector via one of the two methods described in the video and running your media off the pc. But now that SignalRGB has built the tool, I dont see why at some point they wouldn't be able to make this available via a smart tv app, androidtv, appletv, amazonfire, roku, etc.
This is amazing! I absolutely love this and can't wait for my wife to allow me to start a project. What's the music you used in the final results? I do hope they come with a solution that let's you use the bottom end of the floor to ceiling lights.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Ohh you can definitely use the entire length of the floor to Ceiling lights but I chose to turn them off as to focus just on the lights that would line up with the screen. Hope that makes sense!
If you're thinking of getting it working with content directly from the TV you'll need an external video capture source. Something like a webcam trained on the TV as input for the software. Would still need a PC tho. There are off the shelf solutions but no where near as customiseable
This is amazing! Does the final setup always need hooked up to a computer? And then does media always need to be streamed through the computer for the program to map the LEDs?
I would imagine you could accomplish something similar to this by using an HDMI capture card sending your TV's feed into a computer which is controlling the LEDs. This would only work if you used your TV with an external smart device, like Google TV, Roku, or Apple TV. Provided signalRGB has support for an HDMI capture input, it would work similarly.
@@Sammypuppy611 yes, a computer is always needed to compute the color and position of the LEDs. There are standalone products available that offer similar results through HDMI passthrough, but they are nowhere near as customizable as this software is.

Thanks so much!! Glad you liked the video. Your too kind!
Very very cool! I would experiment with making the LEDs at further distance from the screen progressively dimmer.
Thats a great idea and you could 100% do that! So many ways to customize things and do literally whatever you want!
That’s my thought and having the “blurrier” the further away they are
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.
This would make the car shot so much prettier.

Your setup is absolutely amazing and the program seems a great solution but it sadly wouldn't work for me because I use an AV-receiver between pc, console, iptv box and media player. I guess i have to make a new version with HyperHDR
Hi, I use an AVR too. How can we get this to work?
I groaned when you said SignalLED because I've have so much trouble with it- but really the trouble I've had is not SignalLEDs fault, its manufacturers that don't follow their own standards very well, and make hardware that doesn't work right when SignalLED tries to talk to it.
I think the secret to using SignalLED is to find online proof of any hardware actually working before you buy it. :O
Thanks for watching! Have you tried the WLED integration?! Nice thing is since its using WLED to talk to the lights, its not dependent on any specific hardware. There are so many companies that make addressable leds and I could use any of them and they should all work the same as long as they are running wled!
Absolutely Incredible Chris!!❤😊
Nice! I did this using the app Hyperion which also syncs perfectly to WLED. But it is nice to see other software with other customization functionalities out there!
I would love to see a full video on the wireless HDMI transmitter, awesome content keep it up :)
I'll put it on the video to do list. Its actually really neat. I don't think any hardcore gamers would be happy with it, but I've streamed content from my pc downstairs to a projector upstairs and both picture and sound were amazing. My wife and kids couldn't even tell the movie was not being streamed from the Nvidia shield like normally.
@@ChrisMaherDIY I look forward to this video too as I'm a bit confused about this. My content, whether it's TV or android box, gets sent through an AVR and then to the projector.
Dude this is awesome!!!
I wish YT would quit changing my subscription stuff. I got this notification 5 days late. Anyways.... thank you for all you do. You have saved me a lot of headaches!!!
Easy to learn explanation, great achievable results, and overall an amazing video! Subscribed
This is what is was looking for , finnally found it!!! Your the man !!!!!! Thanks mate
So why does the baseboard LEDs have more LEDs per foot? Would there be an issue if I used those on the back of my TV? Also, is SignalRGB able to be controlled from my phone once it's setup on my HTPC? Thanks and thank you for this great video.
You are fantastic, I have already learned a lot and you always do more to fascinate me!
Thanks so much buddy! Glad you liked the video!
One of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam and trust me, I watch a lot of UA-cam!
How would you set this up if you wanted to use it with an NVidia shield or PS5? SignalRGB only works for PC outputs, right?
awesomeeeee!!!!
yes, more tutorials about this, and linking it to give, please!
This is soo awesome. What is the best solution if you want it to follow your appleTV signal?
Amazing project and video, I was not looking forward to paying for a Philips hue ambilight system. I had no idea there was there was such robust hobbyist solutions like this. Gonna start planning my next PC desktop build!
I actually had to exclaim out loud how that is A m a z i n g😮 ( I loved that I could tell from your voice that you felt the same excitement 😅 ) awesome channel one of my new favorite finds
Does this work on a tv?
wow this just works ! I'm glad if found this!!!!!!!!
Wow that is amazing, this is my favourite led set up yet. I so need to learn how to do this and try get a setup like that. It looks so awesome.
curious if you've tried acrylic welding the baseboards to remove the seam?
This is amazing. But I wish there was a way to get it to work with Apple TV
Wow ! Thanks for sharing knowledgment ! Cheers from brazil !
Brother...stellar as always! I hope you realize what this means for your gaming setup as well. SignalRGB Pro allows for game integrations as you to play certain games...annnnnd since your desk and everything is WLED as well? You are truly an inspiration my friend.
Thanks so much! Yes 100% I debated doing this video focused on my gaming setup or the projector/tv rout. I ended up going the projector/tv but want to at some point do a follow up with my gaming space!
Finally an easy way to set this up!
This is dope. What would be really sweet is if there were a way to integrate DMX type fixtures for automatic party lights
I am a huge fan of signalrgb. This use case doesnt seem all that practical however since you would need to use a PC as the source. Also the lack of black bar detection is a bummer
Wow this is amazing! Your videos get me stoked to buy and try to make a room as neat as yours! Thanks
is there any set up for tv ??
Is there a way all this can be done on a smart tv or a smart set-top box and won't require a PC. If there is pls make a video for it. Love your videos
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. This is not going to be an option if you're wanting to use your built in tv apps. (Govee Camera System is your only option in that case: amzn.to/3UL76ez ) With this method you're connecting your pc to the tv or projector via one of the two methods described in the video and running your media off the pc. But now that SignalRGB has built the tool, I dont see why at some point they wouldn't be able to make this available via a smart tv app, androidtv, appletv, amazonfire, roku, etc.
Bruh, definitely your the best rgb guy, love ya hermano
Thanks so much for the support buddy! Appreciate it!
This is amazing! I absolutely love this and can't wait for my wife to allow me to start a project.
What's the music you used in the final results?
I do hope they come with a solution that let's you use the bottom end of the floor to ceiling lights.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Ohh you can definitely use the entire length of the floor to Ceiling lights but I chose to turn them off as to focus just on the lights that would line up with the screen. Hope that makes sense!
Totally blown away :D amazing work... I'd LOVE to see this setup with KDA Pop Stars played on it!
12:50 - I like the Assetto Corsa cameo! I love that game!
as always another amazing video, really cool visuals as well, Cheers man !!!
Thanks for the video really well done and explained easy to follow
Chris, well done. Any alternatives to signal RGB if I didn't want to run through my PC?
If you're thinking of getting it working with content directly from the TV you'll need an external video capture source. Something like a webcam trained on the TV as input for the software. Would still need a PC tho. There are off the shelf solutions but no where near as customiseable
@@dylanevans5644 that's the answer I needed. Thanks
Really, really nice. 😎
Thank you Chris.
Thanks as always buddy! Hope you have a great weekend!
I can't wait to make this. Thank you!
a vid on the wireless transmitter would be great. Would be cool to se what sort of latency it has and how it works with signal.
This is amazing! Does the final setup always need hooked up to a computer? And then does media always need to be streamed through the computer for the program to map the LEDs?
How would this work with a TV, for example watching films? Or does this only work through using your PC as the display input?
Would love to know too
I would imagine you could accomplish something similar to this by using an HDMI capture card sending your TV's feed into a computer which is controlling the LEDs. This would only work if you used your TV with an external smart device, like Google TV, Roku, or Apple TV.
Provided signalRGB has support for an HDMI capture input, it would work similarly.
@@jakejuracka Would the Computer need to be open and running whenever you use the leds?
@@Sammypuppy611 yes, a computer is always needed to compute the color and position of the LEDs. There are standalone products available that offer similar results through HDMI passthrough, but they are nowhere near as customizable as this software is.
@@jakejuracka Ok thanks you
Awesome tutorial , thanks!
🤯. This is epic for a PC set up. I’ve been looking into a Hyperion/WLED set up for my TV but can’t quite pull the trigger.
Awesome!! Excited to try it.
Where can i get the calibration picture/ Wallpaper?
Thx
I dont know if i missed this but does this work on PC only or i can do the same on my TV?
I’m pretty sure he’s using his pc being connected to a projector
