Ultimate Control: This high-quality RGB strip LED light produces outstanding colors.The ambient light kit includes 1 sync box and 4 strips with adhesive backing for simple application. With 12 scene modes, music mode and 3 video modes, you can bring the cinema into your home. Immersive Experience: Designed for TV backlighting, this advanced RGBIC ambient WIFI TV Backlight can replicate any color on the edge of your TV, gaming consoles and other HDMI devices.In Raspberry Pi Imager:ĬHOOSE OS: the latest recommended version of Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32-bit) is available in the Raspberry Pi OS (other) dropdown menu.TV LED Backlight HDMI 2.0 Sync Ambient Light 55″ to 65″ Tuya Now we can go ahead and install the operating system to the SD card. Open Raspberry Pi Imager and connect your microSD card to your usual computer using a microSD card adapter. You can download it to your usual computer here. Raspberry Pi Imager is available for free for Windows, macOS, Ubuntu for x86, and Raspberry Pi OS. We’re going to use an application called Raspberry Pi Imager to write Raspberry Pi OS Lite to our microSD card. As 9A isn’t a standard output current for off-the-shelf power supplies, and because we also need to power our Raspberry Pi, we’re using a 5V 10A barrel jack power supply for our setup. Our project uses 150 LEDs, so we’ll need approximately 9A power. To get an approximate measure of the output you’ll need to run your LED strip, use the following equation: The more LEDs you have, the more power you will need. As strips are usually sold in metres, we ordered 4m and cut off the excess. So we’ll need at least 336cm of NeoPixels. For example, our 47” TV measures 106cm along the top and bottom, and 62cm either side. To determine the length, measure all the edges of your monitor and add them together. The size of your monitor will dictate the length of LED strip you need to purchase. Even if your input device(s) aren’t 4K, we’d also recommend future-proofing your setup by investing in a 4K capture card. If you plan to watch content from streaming sites such as Netflix and Disney+, you’ll need a capture card that supports HDCP. We do not recommend using a Raspberry Pi Zero for this project. Choosing the right Raspberry Pi and accessoriesįor this tutorial, we’ll be using a Raspberry Pi 3, and for this model, you will need a sacrificial micro-USB cable. We’ll refer to this as “your usual computer”, to distinguish it from the Raspberry Pi computer that you are setting up as the ambient lighting controller. This method will also require an additional HDMI to HDMI cable).įor the initial SD card setup, you’ll also need:Īnother computer connected to your network. Optional – HDMI hub (for multiple input sources.Sacrificial micro USB cable/USB-C cable (depending on model of Raspberry Pi - see Choosing the right Raspberry Pi below).DC5V barrel jack AC adapter (see Choosing a power supply below).NeoPixels LED strip (see Choosing an LED strip below).HDMI Capture Card (see Choosing a capture card below).microSD card (we recommend a minimum storage size of 8GB). In this tutorial, we’ll talk you through setting up your LEDs, installing HyperHDR to your Raspberry Pi, and configuring your setup for the best ambient lighting experience. Make watching TV more immersive: you can extend the action on screen to the surrounding environment, and reduce eye-strain, with Raspberry Pi-powered ambient lighting.
