streetlight

Streetlight sends live video from a Syphon- or Spout-enabled application to an arbitrary, heterogenous collection of LED light fixtures. Mappings from regions of video to fixtures can be defined and adjusted interactively, or loaded from disk.

This is pre-alpha software.

Streetlight has been tested and is expected to work with:

  • Philips Color Kinectics ColorBlast, ColorBurst, and similar RGB fixtures on a PDS-150e or similar
  • Philips iColorTile MX 12x12 or iColorModule FX 6x6 (but not simultaneously) on a PDS-60 or PDS-480
  • Philips iColor Flex or similar light strand/chain/strip on a PDS-60 or similar
  • Video input on Mac OS X with Syphon
  • Video input on Windows with Spout

Future enhancements:

Licensing:

  • Streetlight is licensed under GPL v3
  • Kinet protocol support is based on kinet.py, copyright (c) 2011 by Giles Hall and subject to these terms.
