---------Thank you all again for 50+ subscribers!!! I hope everyone enjoys the video!---------
In this video, I show you how to setup projectors in your light show using a raspberry pi's HDMI port. You can also use TVs on the HDMI port too. I show you how to set it up in FPP, and in xlights. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask! There will be a part 2 on what you can use on projectors, such as little skits for your show with green screens, or using videos that go along with the song. So stay tuned!

Thanks for your videos, Nick. They've really helped me get started. For the record, the brightness control on TVs and Projectors adjusts the brightness of the blacks levels. This is why you were getting washed out darks when you raised the brightness. Also - contrast adjusts the white levels.... Either way, I have 2 of these projectors and plan on using them this year. Unfortunately, if you need more brightness, you will actually have to use a better (more expensive) projector. Unfortunately, there isn't really a "industry standard" for lumen ratings. Good luck in your shows, and thanks again!

Thank you for all the information about this! Thankfully, I don't have to worry anymore since I replaced the projector with a giant panel screen. It's definitely wayyyyy brighter and I actually have to turn it down 😂

Glad you found it useful!

Great video Nick, at some point can you show how your network is configured IE the PI master and the PI remote, thanks

@How2Pixel 6 месяцев назад

Yes, that video is in my list of video ideas!

@josephairoso8013 6 месяцев назад

Sweet!

@carycary1784 2 года назад

Thank u for the video. I am learning alot from u. Can u do a video on setting up the pi and downloading the FPP. Then how do I put the slight sequence. In the pi?

@How2Pixel 2 года назад

I already have a video on that called how to setup fpp v5

@carycary1784 2 года назад

Ok I will look at it now. Thank u

@richmcbride3921 2 месяца назад

good videos i want to know can you hook up multable items such as a tv and projecter

@How2Pixel 2 месяца назад

Yes you can! Almost any video device like a TV, projector, monitor etc should work with it, you just need to specify the size of it in FPP.

Hi Nick, i just got the PI4 for TV virtual matrix. Can you guide me how to set up the PI. I heard it needs SD card and that the card needs to be formatted. Any idea how to go about it? Thank you NIck.

@How2Pixel Год назад

It's a little bit of a long explanation, but I do have a video already made about setting up all the software on the pi. It's this video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pjJMpwaXGTQ.html . The title says for FPP V5, but it still works with FPP V6 too. If you need any other help, let me know!

@michaelstphilip8508 Год назад

Nick, can you do a video on how to send on/off & standby commands to projector through RPI/FPP Thanks for excellent tutorial videos

@How2Pixel Год назад

Thanks! Glad the videos help! I'll try to see what I can do about the video idea.

Can you show me where I can pull a movie clip with audio that I can use for my opening...for example National Lampoons Christmas Vacation

@How2Pixel Год назад

There are a few ways to do it. If you could, email me at bridgeportsbrightestlights@gmail.com and I can tell you what ways you can do it there.

@aactor57 2 месяца назад

Obviously need a rasberry pi. I didn't know that .

@How2Pixel 2 месяца назад

Sorry about that, I probably should've worded it differently.

@randybaron5190 Год назад

Hello Nick I’m using an old 80 inch tv as a matrix or p5 panel. I am using a dedicated laptop and beaglebone for my show. Do I need to install a separate pi for virtual matrix? Tks , Randy

@How2Pixel Год назад

I'm not exactly sure if a beaglebone can run a virtual matrix, or a laptop. I'm assuming you're using xschedule on your laptop, and you probably can run the tv off of that. However if your tv is very far away, you'll need a long hdmi cord (or whatever cord you use) and after about 50 feet you need to buy boosters for it. So if your tv is relatively close to the laptop or beaglebone, and they can run it, then you shouldn't need a pi.

@randybaron5190 Год назад

@@How2Pixel thank you very Nick. I’m gonna try connecting to my laptop first before getting a PI.

@How2Pixel Год назад

Good idea

@bigmarmoset 2 года назад

If you want to run 3 different projectors in your show, do you have to use a single pi for each plus a main for your other lights?

@How2Pixel 2 года назад

I know for certain that if you have pi 3s, you can only run one projector. But I'm not quite sure for pi 4s. There are 2 hdmi ports on a pi 4, but I still think you can only run one per pi. It is possible though to run lights and a projector on one pi wether it's a pi 3 or 4.

Can u run a Xmas show and projector from ur computer

@How2Pixel 2 года назад

I know you can run lights from your computer with a controller, but I'm not sure about a projector.
