Courtroom Productivity Increased through High Definition Digital Technology

The legal process depends on speed and accuracy, helping to drive high definition digital technology inside America’s courtrooms. The standard is slowly evolving from trial lawyers holding up evidence, handing out documents or displaying large photographs on easels to an effective electronic support system. Current systems have suffered limitations because of infrastructure capabilities in the historical buildings that house courtrooms.

The tried and true has given way to advanced technology with Avocent (News - Alert) Professional A/V solutions. This solution greets problems with wireless alternatives for extending data from a central location to remote destinations. By offering space for critical documents, photographs, drawings, graphs, sketches, computer printouts, video and audio files in a central repository, Avocent Profession A/V solutions is able to provide remote access to any location inside the courtroom.

With this type of high definition digital technology, every piece of evidence is offered up simultaneously to the judge, lawyers, witness and jury. Each party can view information individually at the time it is presented, eliminating difficulties of cabling into multiple courtrooms.

The Emerge EWMS1000 wireless media streamer used in this modern-day courtroom has superb performance capabilities through its wireless video extension and broadcasting. To ensure security of the Avocent’s high definition digital technology, the system is built on Advanced Encryption Standards and a proprietary link layer protocol that enables protection between the connections. Component, S-video, composite video, RGB computer video and stereo video are a few of the input/output formats supported by the system.

The system works by connecting the Emerge EWMS1000 directly to the computer or central repository. The receivers then connect directly to the output devices at the remote end and distribute the feed throughout the courtroom. Plasma televisions, projectors and monitors are applicable output devices. The wireless media streamer allows for up to eight output devices to a single transmitter.

The high definition digital system coupled with advanced levels of transmission technology increases productivity by limiting time spent containing evidence and the process of delivering it to the audience. This unique technology is positioning itself to be a leader in cost effective tools for the legal system by cutting costs to infrastructure improvements for updated technology and case loads.

The adaptability of this particular wireless media streamer makes for easy installation. Purchasing several Emerge EWMS1000 units can function as a suitable wireless system to be used in other courtrooms within the same building. By simply relocating a unit into a courtroom needing the electronic device is easy and completely reliable. Sharing this high definition digital technology throughout the building will no doubt bring costs down.
