Falcon Player (FPP)
Falcon Player (FPP) is a free, open-source show player designed specifically for synchronized holiday lighting displays. It allows a dedicated controller, such as a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone, to play lighting sequences directly without requiring a computer to remain connected during the show.
FPP supports xLights sequences, scheduled playlists, audio playback, network synchronization, and a wide variety of lighting controllers and communication protocols. It is commonly used in displays ranging from small residential shows to large commercial installations.
