[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1172256, member: 17766"] There are some new kickstarter projects finishing somewhere this year ([URL]http://www.dreamscreentv.com/[/URL] / [URL='http://ambiscreen.tv/']http://ambiscreen.tv/ )[/URL] which look promising as they are expected to use HDMI input and no more analog conversion. Also a open source solution HDMi->HDMI should arrive this year and considering the popularity of Hyperion I have no doubt it will support it, if the commercial solutions can do it so can the open source community :) Hyperion just gives you a lot of options (LED types / regular updates / broader device support) which makes it a better option in my opinion. Also one of the problems with most of the kickstarter projects is that they still use 30 leds p/m strips and not the modern ones like WS2812 or APA102 which can do 60/77/144 leds p/m , not sure if it's about cost reduction but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to do new projects with that few leds. It can do a start offset but doesn't seem like it can do a per zone offset in HyperCon sadly, overlapping is in it but that's a global percentage. However in the Hyperion config output file you could manually insert the offsets but that's a bit of hassle. [/QUOTE]
