The communication protocol takes five bytes to command one triangle to a specific color. There are 240 triangles. The serial communication isn't fast enough to do video, unless you can live with one or two "frames" per second. :-P
The software running inside the ball has "presets" that can be recalled with a single serial command, so most of the patterns are set up as 16-step animations. It takes a few seconds to load an animated pattern, but after it's loaded it looks pretty snazzy.
