I have a lot of videos already planned and have an extensive lab. I have most of the kit I need such as an external high quality sound card, a Manfrotto arm, a Manfrotto tripod, mic stand, some lighting and I am buying a decent Canon mirrorless DSLR 4K camera ANYWAY.
As I sell/repair/mod/upgrade valve amps I am buying one of the best mics for that anyway which is a Shure SM57/58. So I can get the sound in.
The only purchases specifically FOR the channel will be:
more lighting (which will be handy anyway)
software for streaming etc
maybe the video encoder.
mic for me
There are also several items I am buying because I want them and they will be useful even if I give up on the idea of the channel:
Video camera for the Amscope.
Video encoder
Streaming software
I have been hoping for some useful gems of information off people that have done similar such as decent but affordable cameras for the Amscope, video encoders, software etc. Also if someone pointed out a better camera in the same price range I might be interested in getting that instead.
The videos I am doing are related to building lab equipment for repairing/building valve amplifiers, using the equipment to repair/build amplifiers, building valve amplifiers and repairing them. I can do a lot of the stuff I want using JUST the camera and mic BUT when I am repairing a valve amp it would be nice to window the video to show the scope, maybe 2 multimeters, the amp and schematic (maybe not all at once but often three at once).
So the windowing........
I plan to use software that came with my video card to record one of my monitors directly. I can then place the main video onto THAT screen with smaller windows for the scope/multimeter/schematic etc as required.
I have the scope software sorted. My spare spare scope is a UNI-T UTD4102C which is actually a fairly decent but 10 year old scope. It does have a USB and software to display the scope's screen on the computer! So that sorts the scope output

I have numerous multimeters including a Keithley 2100, EEVblog 121GW, 2x Philips PM2525 and 2x OWEN B41+T multimeters so was looking at a way of displaying them on screen. The Owens have bluetooth and display to my iPad but didn't display to Windows...... Until now, they have released software now to display them both on the screen.
So now I have most of the stuff. I'm also told the Keithley will be able to display it's value on the screen too.
