Connect your DreamScreen to music and watch the responsive lighting dance to your favorite beats using an Audio Visualizer!

This allows for a stunning audio visualization effect when using your television to play music from an HDMI source. DreamScreen works with the stereo audio data on HDMI. The lights on the left side respond to the left channel audio and the right side respond to the right channel audio.

Two months ago the DreamScreen team sent out over 100 units to test engineers, product specialists, home theater enthusiasts and avid gamers. The response has been incredible, see below what people are saying about DreamScreen:
“DreamScreen is such an amazing product! It was so easy to set up and install and the mobile app is very user-friendly as well. It really does make the TV screen bigger and more fun to watch. We will never watch TV or movies without it again!”
– Brie McInerney, Director of User Experience, Promet Source
“DreamScreen is THE BEST TV enhancement product I’ve bought! Love the simplicity of the DreamScreen LEDs, they gave my 6yr old TV a new and modern makeover with lights that react to the colors or sounds on the TV.”
– Gagan Luthra, Product Marketing Mgr., Cypress Semiconductors
“I am a huge fan of this and have been waiting for something like this to come to market for 2-3 years now!”
– Frank Passalacqua, You Tube Tech Reviewer
“I watch EVERYTHING on DreamScreen now and it has changed my entire home theater setup. I really love having people over to the house when the Music Mode is on, creates a great party scene.”
– Adam Williams, Design Review, EdgeCast Media
“DreamScreen has reinvented my TV viewing experience! I love how customizable it is through the App and with one tap on the screen I can change the input from video, to audio, to any specific color I want. I even leave it on when I turn the TV off. Fair warning, once you have DreamScreen, watching TV without it is like regressing to black and white, still enjoyable, but you know what you’re missing out on, and it’s just not the same.”
– Rachel Haber, Director, Afligo
“The DreamScreen is an absolute hit for myself and my family, as it adds an element of elegance to my living room that it was previously lacking. I look forward to cozying up at night to enjoy a nice show or a sports game, when the effect is the most vivid. And believe it or not, one of my favorite features is the effect it leaves on my TV when it is off, as the perimeter ambient glow around the tv makes the entire wall look like a fancy movie theater.”
– The Akbasli Family, South Florida
“I have been lucky enough to already test this product and can’t imagine using my TV without it now!! Whenever I have guests over it is definitely a conversation piece. :-). Here are some videos of my setup. I have a 50″ 4K TV.”
– Nick Rodriguez, SEM Analyst, Elite SEM
We have personally funded this project until this point and have had raving success with our prototypes and soft launch units. We have completed design of electronics and firmware. Tooling is complete for high volume manufacturing and the apps are available now for download. We are utilizing the power of crowd funding via the Kickstarter community to fund a volume order of the product so we can bring this technology and features to you at an attractive price-point.
So far we have over 100 units that we have distributed to gain consumer experience and feedback, but we need assistance from you to reach the next volume manufacturing milestone. Help us get the word out to other television enthusiasts, techies, gamers, movie buffs and more by sharing our cause!
Thanks again for helping make our dream come true!
Our engineering team designed the DreamScreen Stick to simply connect with any HDMI system. This universal approach to responsive TV lighting allows the entire world to enjoy this product, no matter what you’re watching.
NO Computers Needed! NO Software! Simply Plug and Play to turn on the awesome!
HDMI Resolution
DreamScreen(TM) interfaces with standard 4K, 1080p, 1080i, 720p and 720i HDMI resolutions.It supports content at 60Hz, 50Hz. During the HDMI handshake, the television communicates directly with the source and dictates the available HDMI resolution and frame rate. DreamScreen will automatically switch to the correct frequency and resolution within a few seconds. DreamScreen is HDMI 1.4 capable and works with HDCP-encrypted content.
Splitter Technology
An HDMI splitter is used to provide the source signal to both television and DreamScreen. Any off-the-shelf HDMI splitter can be used to provide content to DreamScreen. Don’t worry our standard package includes your very own HDMI splitter. It incorporates an HDCP repeater that ensures that high-resolution HDCP content is available to television and DreamScreen.
Each of the DreamScreen LEDs contains a driver chip that allows for it to be controlled to 16 million colors. A high-speed communication from the stick passes through all the LEDs bringing high resolution and fast response to your television backlighting. The LED Strips have been custom designed for use in this application and are coated with a polyurethane coating to make them dust and moisture proof while keeping them flexible for installation.
Three different sizes of DreamScreen are offered and each works for a range of television sizes. The flexible LED strips are easy to route around a television even when it is wall mounted. The wires connecting the strips are at right angles so that they do not stick up causing shadows.
Each model is designed to stretch between a range of television sizes.
Adhesive Strips
The LED strips placed on the back of your television are designed to be repositionable during installation. Easily adjust to properly fit your screen and enjoy a truly responsive home theater experience. The adhesive used is a 3M 300LSE that allows for excellent adhesion of the LED strips to your television. The adhesive features a built in polyester film liner that resists breakage during removal or repositioning. The adhesive strip also features a small tab for easy removal of the protective liner and application.
60Hz Update Speed
DreamScreen reads the HDMI frame 60 times a second (typical frame rate of a HDMI stream). The content is analyzed, the backlighting content is calculated and the LEDs are updated at 60 times a second. This allows for rapid response when DreamScreen is used to dynamically enhance the content. As the color processing does not use an attached computer, the dedicated product produces the vivid backlighting without any delays. Call of Duty or your favorite Bruce Willis movie will never be the same!
DreamScreen incorporates a Bluetooth Low Energy device to allow it to be controlled via a smartphone or tablet. The wireless link allows switching modes, changing brightness and other settings.
Wide Screen Format Detection
Movies are often available in a widescreen letter boxing format. DreamScreen automatically identifies black spaces in the video stream on the top and bottom of the screen and uses color content below black spaces for LED light illumination. The detection is automatic. DreamScreen switches back to normal mode as soon as non-widescreen format is detected on the HDMI stream.
High Resolution
Most HDMI televisions have 1920 x 1080 pixels. That’s a lot of pixels! A backlight with two or a dozen addressable channels will not show the required detail. With DreamScreen, each light source is addressable and even the smallest size (Classic) has 48 addressable points (LEDs). (Mega has 72 LEDs and Xtreme has 96 LEDs) This ensures that more detail on the screen is carried to the backlight.
Brightness Control
DreamScreen allows users to select between four brightness settings that are based on an array of ambient lighting. The brightness settings can be applied to video, music and ambient mode.
Zone Control
Each DreamScreen ships with enough light strips to line up the complete periphery of your television. However, the DreamScreen App and/or stick allows you to select which zone is activated. You can light up the top, the sides, or the whole TV.
Low Standby Power
DreamScreen places all backlighting and HDMI components on a low power standby state when HDMI stream is not detected (i.e. when cable box, ChromeCast or gaming console is turned off) or when Standby/Sleep mode is enables on the App. In other words, in Video or Music Mode, turning off your HDMI source will turn off all the lights behind your television.
DreamScreen creates an immersive home theater experience using color LED lighting. Designed to adjust to any size television and work with any HDMI source, DreamScreen’s Smart LED lights react to the color pixels on your screen. The effect is incredible, it enlarges your television, softens the picture and makes your favorite tv, games and movies bigger and better.
