Setup:

1. LED: WS2812B 236 leds + 300 ohm resistor + 35 watt /5v power brick

2. LED Controller: Arduino clone

2. Hyperion Server: RPI3 zero W

3. USB Hub : HDMI Capture card + Arduino

5. AVR-Onkyo TX-NR 686- has two HDMI outs- main(ARC) & Sub

6. TV: MITV(Xiamoi) 55 inch Android TV: supports ARC

7. Input device: Firestick 4K: This is my main content source

8. USB 2.0 HDMI Capture card: Maximum input resolution: 3840x2160 @ 30Hz, maximum output/recording resolution: 1920x1080 @ 30Hz, 1280x720P @ 60Hz.

9. HDMI Splitter: Orei 4K 1x2 HDMI Duplicator Splitter by OREI - with Scaler 2 Ports with Full Ultra HD, HDCP 2.2, 4K at 60Hz 4: 4: 4 1080p & 3D Supports EDID Control - UHD-PRO102

Status:

Hyperion working nicely now- latest version. Everything working well functionally.

Issue faced:

Unable to get good colors for certain cases:

1. During explosions- more of orange/red than yellow. Yellow is less in general- how to get yellow going?

2. When not much is happening on screen- standard colors seems to blue n green- how to make it any other shade?

3. When screen is predominanly white- standard colors seems to same as point no 2: blue n green- how to make it white or off white or gray?

4. when screen is black, led goes off or becomes dark- this is expected behaviour i presume

Pls point to guides for new GUI on how to get these colors as needed. Still better if some one can point to a good video tutorial i will be greatful.

Thanks,

Biyer

but in theoretically you can take the signal for usb-2-Pi first, off the source device before it goes to avr then just connect avr to tv, I've tested this way and still 4K signal

Thanks James! in principle this idea is also the same. Thanks to both of you I have my issue resolved in 1 day!!

try it like this

Lighting-guy77, thank you so much for the idea- i have finally solved all the issues and got all 3: ARC,4K and Hyperion working perfectly! And that too without going ahead with any further purchase of 4K capture card or ARC extractor etc. Thank you so much.

Your exact idea did not work for me but since my AVR is 4k- the following connections worked perfectly!!

Firestick4K-> HDMI 1:2 Splitter|

Splitter| HDMIOut1--------------------------- -> HDMI Input of AVR

Splitter| HDMIOut2-----------------------------> HDMI Input of 1080P Capture card

2. AVR HDMI Output1/ARC CHannel -------> HDMI cable -----> MITV ARC HDMI Port

I know a workaround for the ARC/e-ARC problem because had that myself.

I am sorry I am trying to follow your answer but I am getting stuck. Basically you are asking me to move the HDMI splitter from HDMI output side of the AVR to the input side of the HDMI.

i.e:

1.

Firestick4K-> HDMI 1:2 Splitter|

Splitter| HDMIOut1--------------------------- -> HDMI Input of AVR

Splitter| HDMIOut2-----------------------------> HDMI Input of 1080P Capture card

2. AVR HDMI Output1/ARC CHannel -------> HDMI cable -----> MITV ARC HDMI Port

Did I follow correct? I am sorry if I did not follow correctly - thanks for trying to help.

james2brite so you are saying that getting 4K HDMI grabber with EDID HDCP 2.2 support will enable me to go back to my "Connection model1" where i can enjoy both 4K on TV as well as getting hyperion to work normally with ARC back in action? Basically the capture card will fool my AVR to think 2nd HDMI is connected to 4K device too and therefore it will send 4k signals with ARC to MITV thru HDMIoutput1/MAIN/ARC? What about raspberryPI Zerow & USB3.0 issue? Do I need to change the PI? Which PI?

My setup:

1. LED: WS2812B 236 leds + 300 ohm resistor + 35 watt /5v power brick

2. LED Controller: Arduino clone

2. Hyperion Server: RPI3 zero W

3. USB Hub : HDMI Capture card + Arduino

5. AVR-Onkyo TX-NR 686- has two HDMI outs- main(ARC) & Sub

6. TV: MITV(Xiamoi) 55 inch Android TV: supports ARC

7. Input device: Firestick 4K: This is my main content source

8. USB 2.0 HDMI Capture card: Maximum input resolution: 3840x2160 @ 30Hz, maximum output/recording resolution: 1920x1080 @ 30Hz, 1280x720P @ 60Hz.

9. HDMI Splitter: Orei 4K 1x2 HDMI Duplicator Splitter by OREI - with Scaler 2 Ports with Full Ultra HD, HDCP 2.2, 4K at 60Hz 4: 4: 4 1080p & 3D Supports EDID Control - UHD-PRO102

Connection Model1:

1. HDMI connection from Onkyo AVR HDMI Output1 Main/ARC to MITV 4K

2. HDMI connection from Onkyo AVR HDMI Output2 Sub to USB2.0 HDMI Capture card

Negative Issue: 4KTV MITV becomes 1080P TV

Positive Issue: ARC and Hyperion works well

Connection Model2:

1. HDMI Connection from Onkyo AVR HDMI Output1 Main/ARC to HDMI Splitter

2. HDMI Connection from Splitter to MITV 4K

3. HDMI Connection from Splitter to USB 2.0 HDMI Capture card

Negative Issue: ARC Lost- multiple remotes; MITV Android App based playback now doesnt get Audio processed by AVR

Positive Issue: Hyperion now working with 4K

How to combine the best of both models? How can i get 4K, Hyperion and ARC all working together? It seems like right now I can get only 2 out of 3. Not all 3 of:

1. Hyperion

2. 4K

2. ARC

If i buy a different capture card will i be able to revert to connection model1 where ARC works but 4K doesnt because AVR sees my capture card as being lower than 4K resolution.

If I buy a different capture card capable of doing 4K/pass thru/HDC2.2 etc will RPI ZeroW work? If not which RPI i should get? Are there other bottlenecks i cant see if i go down this path?

Pls suggest a resolution to finalize my hardware setup. Its working but its messy without ARC.

Thanks,

Hi There

My setup is replica of this project: shrocky2/Hyperion: Hyperion Ambient Light Project (github.com)

1. WS2812B 236 leds + 300 ohm resistor + Arduino clone

2. RPI3 zero W

3. USB Hub: HDMI Capture card + Arduino

4. 35 watt /5v power brick

5. AVR-Onkyo TX-NR 686

6. TV: MITV(Xiamoi) 55 inch Android TV

7. Firestick-input device

8. ARC HDMI connection thru ARC/HDMI1 out between Onkyo AVR & MITV

9. Sub HDMI connection thru Sub/HDMI2out between AVR & Capture card

9. Splitter: well still experimenting to get the right one to ensure 4K on TV & lower resolution on HDMI capture card

Software: previous version of hyperbian loaded into an SD card and configured with RPI3 Zero W

Things are working- but following 3 issues exist:

1. 4K TV is now working at 1080P at best

2. colors are not yet 100%

3. May be small lag in color transition

4. New sw released as I am just stabilizing the previous one.

I have now removed SD card from PI and ready to install new Hyperbian- but before doing everything all over again i wanted to know if there is an easier direct update method with SDcard still in RPI- after all everything is connected to internet. If its not possible ofcpurse i will flash using balena etcher,add ssh and .conf file as i did previous time and move back to the RPI and get things started again.

I just installed and got the previous version working a couple of days back.

How to update to new software? Is it possible to directly do it over the air/inline?

Or do i have to download and manually edit the two files(SSH & wpa_supplicant.conf) in PC and do the raspberryPI bring up again?
