Are you using Philips Ambilight / AmBX or is that a DIY clone ?

[MrJustin]

no the ambilight is just a TV, right?

This is MUCH bigger. 1.6m across. Made using controllable LED strip and currently running an effect in VDMX which sends the DMX info out to the LEDs via a dmx over artnet patch in Quartz composer.

Soon i will have a much simpler "plug 'n' play" version which will simply take a DVI input.

[MrJustin]

... so yeah.. a DIY clone .

But a projection screen as opposed to a TV. TVs suck.

Got a ball park figure for a 'to buy' cost yet? That is IF you plan on selling them to others!

How do you plan to do a DVI input? This is a lot harder then your computer sending the good signals to the arduino (through serial).

[MrJustin]

yeah i have a ball park figure but i'm keeping that in my head til i have an accurate one.

My one doesn't use arduino, though perhaps it would work just as well. I wanted to be able to make one which could be used as a VJ screen so this plays straight out of VDMX, resized youtr content to 16:9 if necessary and does all the pixel mapping of the LEDS around the screen at the same time.

Ow, that won't be easy! But good luck and keep us posted

[MrJustin]

NO that's what is happening in the video i posted. I could VJ on the screen and the LEDs would light up accordingly in real time.
