Tesira 201: Practical Principles
All Day Session
Entering the world of DSP programming has never been easier. Meant for those who are new to Tesira, this in-person event first allows trainees to become familiar with the entire platform of audio and video solutions. Focus then shifts to a hands-on workshop, where trainees who have little to no experience will build, from the ground up, the hardware and software configuration for a small UC based conferencing system. Tesira Practical Principles is the ideal opportunity to learn-by-doing and see how approachable, yet powerful a Tesira solution can be.
