Components You Will Need:
My Level Shifter that makes it all possible:
▶ Adaptor Cable with inline Level-Shifter (ABSOLUTELY required for this to work as expected in the video!)

A Raspberry Pi Computer -- pick your favorite:
▶ The Specific Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Kit that I used in the video

▶ Raspberry Pi 4 model B - Search Results (choose a kit that's suitable for your budget)

I've had good luck using the less expensive, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W as well:
▶ Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W - Search Results (choose a kit that's suitable for your budget)

An HDMI Capture Device - you don't need an expensive CamLink for this project; a simple, affordable deivce will do just fine here:
▶ USB Video Capture Device

RGB LED Strips. I would choose 60 LEDs/Meter, at whatever length you need to cover your TV. I recommend BTF-Lighting from experience:
▶ [BEST RGB] BTF-Lighting WS2812b RGB LED Strip

▶ [BEST RGBW] BTF-Lighting SK6812 RGBW LED Strip
The more expensive SK6812 adds a White LED to each pixel, and produces far superior colors.

▶ [Alternate] Amazon Search for "WS2812B LED Strip" (Your mileage may vary with less expensive strips...)

An HDMI Splitter -- preferably one that preserves the Dolby/HDR and other data.
▶ My Recommended 1-In 2-Out Splitter (Supports Dolby Vision/Atmos, 4k60p)

▶ Type-C Inline USB Power Switch for the above splitter.

If you need more than one input, this is the device that I personally use:
▶ HDMI 4-In, 2-Out Switcher (supports all of the above)

Power Supply. You'll want a high-amperage, 5-Volt power supply, with a 5.5mm x 2.5mm barrel connector (to plug directly into my Level Shifter):
▶ 5-Volt 10-Amp Power Supply (Most TVs up to 65-Inch)

▶ 5-Volt 15-Amp Power Supply (for longer strips/TVs 70-Inch and larger)

Once you have all of the components, please head over to the Hardware Tutorial if needed, then the Web Tutorial to follow along all of the software configuration. And perhaps give the video another view to refresh your memory!

Note there are newer videos, but the one linked shows the actual hardware installation; newer ones mostly talk about updates and changes, though I am working on a new 2025 video. So subscribe to my YouTube Channel to stay up-to-date!
