So, I’m not a user of TouchDesigner (yet), as I just got referred to it.
I’m looking for a solution to manipulate a live 4K 360˚video stream.
The pre-stitched video to work with is an equirectangular format (3840x1920) straight out of our 360˚camera, offered via HDMI. To output should be a regular 2D full HD (1920x1080) video feed, also via HDMI.
We want to control in real time the viewpoint of this 360/equirectangular video: going from a flat 2D zoomed in view to a little planet projection. 2D = frontal view of a concert stage, little planet = projection of the entire equirectangular.
Here’s an example of the type of animation/transformation:

Is this possible at all with TouchDesigner?
Want kind of programming is involved?
Can we have presets for the 2D view / littleplanet view / animation between the two?
And what kind of hardware is recommended (PC/Mac/ in/out card?)
