Pimp your base.
Here is a device that allows you to create animations frame by frame and then wirelessly display them over 2 8x5 advanced monitors
Pastebin is in the vid description

That is sooooo cool!
All this needs now is a way to have more than 1 colour on the screen at once.

That wouldnt be too hard to do because it just sends a string of 1 and 0s to describe the output. It could send letters which would represent the different colours.
It would mean more work on the interface which is a pain because there is not much space left!

Very cool program! I will be using this a lot! But I have a few things that I think it is missing. Is it possible to make it support a better resolution? Could you somehow be able to add a line of subtitles on the bottom line? Is it possible to make the monitors connect to the controller using peripheral cables to save the use of 2 computers? Make it be able to detect redstone signals for control (Frame per pulse and multiplies if constant?). Otherwise this might be a really useful program for making and watching videos.

Wow this is amazing, but like basdxz said, is it possible to add text on the bottom? or would you have to have a 3rd computer?

hi,
Whilst it would be fairly easy to display in a higher res it would mean the gui would need a lot of work.
It would be possible to add subtitles but because it is low res it would only be able to show 20ish chars at a time
It currently sends the 0 and 1s to control each individual pixel in a rednet message each frame. You could add the subtitle onto the message
I have never used the cables as I'm using FTB but I think they would be an improvement over the rednet system.
At the moment it has to put all the data into a string, send it via rednet, decode the string at the other end and then display. I guess the cables would remove some of those steps.
