Ive seen a few of these this year. How do they get the lights to sinc with the music?

That is great!! Now if he can do that in a reef tank....lol

Barbara · Geekette

......that's just amazing isn't it?!!!! I wonder how the syncing works...and how many lights does it take? .....that's better than most of the xmas light displays I've seen!

I know it's a very expensive computer program with lots and lots of cords and outlets, but thats as far as I've gotten in researching them...

I would have to guess careful programing handles the syncing of the lights. I know they make systems to do that, but that guy links many systems together to get what he wants.

The video comments said he has 1440 channels of lights. Each channel can have thousands of lights on it. The news story about him said he had finished switching almost all the lights to LEDs and he had 8 times the number of channels to work with this year.

Sounds like it would take a year to set everything all up. Too much like work for me
