In the webpage, it says “Point SOP”. This implies on the Position parameter of the Point SOP. http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini11.1/nodes/sop/point [sidefx.com]

It's something like this - see the scene. He first sets the red channel for the points to control the radius to something like (1-$BBY). Then there are two custom parameters “freq” & “amp” - see point2 SOP.
