Gotcha.
Is it a pain to run and hid the wires to each separate display and route them back to the same controller? I’m trying to get a few ideas for displays and can see how this can get out of hand quick.
I’m literally just waiting on my power supply before I start playing around with my lights. I messed up when ordering it and didn’t realize it wouldn’t be here until after the new year. By the time I figured it out, it had already shipped.

Mine are all on the perimeter of flower beds, so it’s not terribly hard. If you’ve ever run 12v landscape lighting, it’s only about that hard. Most of my wires are exposed, but they’re not terribly obvious/ugly. Since I’m not permanent, this is an option.
If you wanted to go permanent, you’d probably want direct burial cable or conduit/raceway in certain areas.
It’s also possible that if you have really long runs, you can convert your data wire to an Ethernet wire and get essentially unlimited distance over it, and then have power running to it separately (or use multiple PSU in this way, if that is appealing)
I actually have zero power injection at this time. My first attempt will be next week.
