This workshop aims to give you the theoretical and technical tools to develop your own Mediaserver and Streaming system with TouchDesigner.

The workshop is for intermediate and video-artists that want to improve their skills and develop the system with easy to use interface in TouchDesigner environment.

There is the basic part of this course starting earlier, so you can join both parts with reduced price.
