HyperHDR

HyperHDR is an open source tool that enables users to add ambient lighting to television sets based on the audio and video analysis. The tool acts as support when connecting various HDR hardware to make the ambient light implementation possible. The app comes with a web interface that enables users to manage and customize everything thoroughly.

Among the hardware and software necessary to set the whole thing up, there are LED strips, modern video grabber, power supply for the LED strips, voltage level shifter, common ground between your LED strip ground and LED driver, LED driver and the PC to run the app. The developer recommends Raspberry Pi as a fully independent solution for the LED drivers and to avoid those with speed ~500Kb or below.

The tool comes with a built-in LUT table generator, but users can create their own if necessary. Alternatively, a 3dl Autodesk LUT table can be imported. Other noteworthy features of the tool include extensive support for USB grabbers, software screen grabbers and multithreading that ensures Raspberry Pi can process HQ video streams. The tool is optimized for multi-instances and hence, users can employ multiple light sources, including LED strips, WLED and Philips Hue at the same time.
