Reactivo – expand your PC game screen to LED strips
The Reactivo software brings life to Reactivo hardware. We’ve developed the software to allow you easily grab selected screen pixel color and send them to gaming LED strips.
Why do we need special screen grabbing software?
When you play the game, the light atmosphere in the room should respect the colors of the game. This really helps you to dive into the game. Check our test setup running demo for Unreal Engine 5:
As you can see, the whole room is turned into reactive LED gaming light. Not just the background of your TV – but also the IKEA lamps, your desk or the cabinets behave like they are a part of the game. This is done thanks to Reactivo software. It grabs the selected portion of your screen and sends it to gaming LED strips attached to your furniture.
How to send screen pixel color to gaming LED strip?
In the Reactivo software you can draw LED segments to be sent to the LED strips. E.g. you can draw LED segment over Dota 2 hero energy and this energy will be then displayed on your LED gaming strip.

You can select any portion of your screen to be displayed on any gaming LED strip in your gaming room. We often refer to this LED strip position setup as “mapping” – what screen pixels should be displayed on what LED strip.
Do you want to use many LED strips in your gaming room?
The more strips you use, the better. You can use several Reactivo devices and many LED strips in your gaming setup. In the software you can set the positions of your LED strips and the software will grab the screen and send the color pixels to your LED strips. This way you can practically cover all your room with LED strips. We did :).
