🎞️ Add Color Strip Source

Name:

Type:

Picture Source derives colors from a screen capture. Static Color fills all LEDs with one constant color. Gradient distributes a color gradient across all LEDs.

Picture Source:

Which screen capture source to use as input for LED color calculation

Target FPS: 30

Target frames per second for LED color updates (10-90)

fps

Color Mode:

How to calculate LED color from sampled border pixels

Smoothing: 0.30

Temporal blending between frames (0=none, 1=full). Reduces flicker.

Frame Interpolation:

Blends between consecutive captured frames to produce output at the full target FPS even when capture rate is lower. Reduces visible stepping on slow ambient transitions.

Color Corrections

Brightness: 1.00

Output brightness multiplier (0=off, 1=unchanged, 2=double). Applied after color extraction.

Saturation: 1.00

Color saturation (0=grayscale, 1=unchanged, 2=double saturation)

Gamma: 1.00

Gamma correction (1=none, <1=brighter midtones, >1=darker midtones)

Color:

The solid color that will be sent to all LEDs on the strip.

Colors:

Colors to cycle through smoothly. At least 2 required.

Speed: 1.0×

Cycle speed multiplier. 1.0 ≈ one full cycle every 20 seconds.

Gradient:

Visual preview. Click the marker track below to add a stop. Drag markers to reposition.

Color Stops:

Each stop defines a color at a relative position (0.0 = start, 1.0 = end). The ↔ button adds a right-side color to create a hard edge at that stop.

Animation

Enable Animation:

Enables procedural animation. The LEDs will update at 30 fps driven by the selected effect.

Effect:

The animation effect to apply. Available effects depend on source type.

Speed: 1.0×

Animation speed multiplier. 1.0 ≈ one cycle per second for Breathing; higher values cycle faster.

LED Count:

Total number of LEDs on the strip. Set to 0 to use the sum from calibration. If your strip has LEDs behind the TV that are not mapped to screen edges, set the exact count here and they will be filled with black.
