manufacturer videos, and name the test equipment quiz

Why do manufacturers create videos for Youtube? Nearly nobody watches them. Like this, 5 views after 3 days:

Ok, this one doesn't contain much useful information. If you are not living under a rock, you know already the features of USB type C, and she says Fairchild has some chips for it. Fine, I don't care, just gimme the datasheets. But sometimes they are more interesting.

Bonus: name the test equipment in the video On the left side it is easy, a function generator. You can tell this by the coax connectors and missing vertical adjustment knobs, but one big wheel to change the frequency. Not likely a spectrum analyzer, because too many coax connectors. The color of the back looks like Tetronix and that's all to search it with Google image: it is a AFG3000 family function generator, maybe this one: http://www.us-instrument.com/objects/catalog/product/image/img4138.jpg

What is the device to the right of it? With the big heatsink and the heavy-duty terminals at the front I think it might be an electronic load.

But what is the big photocopier-size device on the right side with the (exhaust?) tube on top?

That electronic load looks like a Kikusui, maybe similar to this.

Nice, from microamps to 132 A, 330 W. And you can add optional boosters for up to 9 kW. The 150 V, 33 A, 165 W version costs $2k at eBay.
