Cobb County Case Study
Cobb County Courts set themselves apart with sweeping courtroom technology upgrades resulting in efficacy in justice.
Virtual depositions are more time efficient and cost-effective, cutting out any extra travel time for the participants.
Each mock courtroom needs to have audio and video capabilities, essential for clients, staff, and attorneys who may want to record and view the mock trial.
With the use of integrated audio teleconference into your courtroom, you are able to achieve echo cancellation by integrating the speaker phone into the DSP. This will ensure echo cancellation and recording are captured, and is useful for preliminary calls and calendaring. All microphones positioned in the courtroom will be heard by the far-end participant, and his or her audio output can be heard through the distributed speakers in the courtroom. The far-end participant’s audio is also sent to the assisted listening system and digital recording, which makes a phone participant an actual participant in the courtroom.
When your courtroom holds a high profile case, it can be necessary to stream audio and video to reach parties or the public interests that are not able to be in the room. There can be times when there is a large crowd in attendance, or witnesses must be in another area for safety or other limitations. Additionally, streaming audio and video for a multi-party civil suit can be a cost-effective way to reach those who are geographically distant, but relevant to the case. By incorporating the right technology, you can be equipped to share information outside the courtroom.
The use of video arraignment has grown, especially throughout the multi-level courts of state, county, and municipal systems. Many facilities incorporate a designated arraignment room and need the capabilities of 24/7 access for initial appearances. Conducting video calls to outside parties is also a way to efficiently manage discovery questions. Just like audio conferencing, the far-end participant should be an actual participant in the courtroom. Audio from all of the courtroom microphones is sent to the far-end, and the far-end is heard through the distributed speaker system, assisted listening device, and captured for the record.
