I started with Ambibox and moved to Prismatik. For some reasons, now that I install one of those RGB software and I do not know which one (NZXT CAM, or MSI Dragon Center), Prismatik stopped working. There must be some type of conflict. If you know how to resolve the conflict, please let me know. So, for now, I went back to Ambibox and the screen capture does not work. I tried all the screen capture options but none help.
actually, I just figure out that the installation process can no longer download playclaw5. It says file not found. I try to download playclaw separately but it says, it is a trial version. Capturing with Windows 8 option seems very approximative and the light is not saturated like with Prismatik.
I bought a strip of leds to put behind a desk, behind an ambibox, I would like to put an effect passing several colors from left to right, is it possible? Not caring what appears on the monitor? Background color only... Can you give me your insta or twitter to contact you?
I am sorry. I don't have Instagram or twitter. Are you looking to put a second set of lights in, one set ambibox and one set animated or are you trying to animate the Ambibox lights? I don't know of an ambibox plugin that can do left to right LEDs, however we could probably find a pair of individually addressable rgb lights that does the animation you want.
@@sixty-six I wanted to do the effect that appears at 1:48 but without reading the screen, I wanted to have a "simulated" screen or put that effect in the programming ... I would like to be playing and that effect to give. -th-cam.com/video/vc26HjSRCeo/w-d-xo.html
OK, that's pretty cool. So I assume this is how they did this. That motherboard, the Tomahawk B450 Max, has dual 12 volt 5050 RGB headers to control RGB strips. It uses a proprietary lighting platform called Mystic Light. I have never used MSI's solution before, but it looks like it offers the same features as Asus Aura Sync, which I have used. This isn't capturing the screen but rather they have synchronized and animation with the lighting effects. Setting up something similar is easy but replicating it exactly will be harder. The issue is the RGB strip offset. That, for others who might read this comment, refers to the fact that the colors are scrolling from right to left, but the strip’s colors appear before the colors on the screen and they continue on the RGB strip after they have left the screen. Ambibox can let you replicate the effect on screen, but it’s not going to give you the extended desk coverage that really sells this look. One solution is to use your motherboards RGB headers. Most motherboards with RGB headers can do this effect. I am 99% sure this is how this is done in the video. (The location of the PC in the video isn’t random, but rather reflects how long the RGB strips cord is.) If your motherboard doesn't have on board RGB headers you can either get a kit that connects via USB such as one by corsair, razor, or a some cheaper knockoff. But you don’t even need get one of those if all you want is this look at your desk. Head over to Amazon or AliExpress and look for an RGB strip that has a ‘Rainbow Wave’ lighting effect. One where you can change the speed it cycles will make your life easier and allow for more customization options. Finally, sync the start of the animation to match the RGB strips LED animation. Profit!? I really like this look and I could see setting up something like this for a party.
@@sixty-six The person who did this in the video, replicated the monitor to an LED strip, didn’t use anything from the motherboard ... I have an ambilight tape that had ambibox, I bought it from banggod thinking that I could put various effects, but apparently not :(
@@skythingz Hmm yeah, you are right. Looking at it closer I see that the colors on the ends of the RGB strip match those that are on the top display. In that case, yeah, you could totally do this with Ambibox. Just set up the zone captures for only the top edge of the screen. You could use the bottom, but that would require moving all the zone captures up a little so the Window's Task Bar is not included. (Else the screen capture would average in black. This video is basically just doing a screen capture across the display with a vertical LED count of 0 LEDs and a horizontal count of whatever the number of LEDs are. Then they resized the zone capture width align the led with the strip on the display.
Super, merci beaucoup cela ma été bien utile !!!
Amazing Work, looks so great with my ambilight, Thanks much for this video!
Perfect, Thank you !! 👌
You're welcome!
