Use Pixel LED Animator as a TouchDesigner Source

TouchDesigner is strong at real-time interaction: audio analysis, feedback, masking, multi-screen compositing, and protocol output. Pixel LED Animator 3 is strong at generating the visual in the first place: 145 effect generators, palettes, keyframes, text, and image overlays.

Connecting them gives you both. Pixel LED Animator sends its live preview as an NDI or Spout2 source, and TouchDesigner receives it as a TOP. From there you can make the animation react to sound, multiply it across a wall, or route it into a larger show network.

Use Pixel LED Animator with OBS Studio: NDI and Spout Setup

Send Live Pixel LED Animations to OBS Studio

Pixel LED Animator 3 can send its live preview out as a Spout2 texture or an NDI video source. OBS Studio can capture either one as a scene source, which means you can stream, record, or feed the animation into a call without exporting a video file first.

This is different from rendering an MP4. The OBS source stays live: change an effect parameter, palette, keyframe, or text overlay and the OBS output changes with it. That makes the setup useful for live shows, tutorials, product demos, and LED preview streams.
