This is really neat. If you were interested in doing it in future with dot matrix panels for that real hollywood trader look, take a look at HUB75 addressable panels.

Not crazy expensive on Aliexpress and friends.

https://github.com/pixelmatix/SmartMatrix has more details on hardware/software required.

Thanks for the info! This would be really interesting to try. The code is structured so that most would be reusable with a different rendering method. We may purchase a couple to try out.

You can even get driver boards for them that take in a DVI/HDMI signal, which would allow you to run the whole thing off a single PC.
