Hi all!!!
I have wanted an ambient system for my TV for a while now, so I figured it's about time! The only thing I think I'm having issues with is the LED strips. Let me know what you guys think. I have a 65" 4K HDR Samsung with a Samsung soundbar. I have 2 devices connected to the soundbar/tv so I figured I will connect the ambient system after the soundbar before going to the tv. That way everything connected can use the ambient system and I don't have to worry about high-end audio with any kind of a splitter.
System brains = raspberry pi 3
HDMI Splitter =
Will this splitter work for HDR or do I have to get the HDfury?
Capture Card =
Arduino Nano =
Power = I have an old Corsair 620W sitting around that I don't need anymore. I'll use this to connect everything. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12867
LED Strips = this one I have a few questions about. I'm looking at 2 different options here. With a 65" TV I believe ill need just short of 5M.

So my questions are.
1-Is there any reason that a 12V wouldn't work with this?
2-If I go for the 5V will my PSU be enough to power the strips and the PI 3?
3-Are APA102 that much better than ws2815 (ws2812b)?
