In this video I share how to set up a professional quality, low cost studio that is easy to use. The studio can be used to record your instructional material, or stream your classes live to facebook, youtube, twitch or even your school live feed. I take you through a stepbestep tutorial.

Below are links to gear you can build and put together over time:

You can get started with a simple logitech Camera. That's it . . . get a reasonable WEB cam and get started:

Next up, get a green screen. You can use green paper, or paint a wall green, or you can use a nice cloth screen like I use:

I really like to use a graphics tablet for writing much more than a document cam. This is an affordable high quality graphics tablet that will allow you to allow students to see what you write as you lecture. This is the one I use:

Now, perhaps the most important upgrade to production quality comes from a good microphone. This should be one of your very first pieces of gear. This one is the Yeti, and I love it:

Once you have a good microphone, time to get some studio lights. These are really great ones at a really affordable price.

If you have a nice camcorder with HDMI out, you can use it with great success with wirecast. You will need a card to convert the HDMI to USB. This is where you do not want to skimp. I struggled mightily with chea converters, and finally upgraded to the professional magewell unit:

(make sure your camera outputs 'clean' hdmi without the display settings)
