Marshall cameras deliver hybrid courtroom video conferencing and streaming solution for S&L

S&L Integrated Systems has recently transformed courtroom experiences throughout Georgia and the surrounding region with the integration of the CV503, CV504 and CV-355-10X POV cameras from Marshall Electronics.

The video conferencing and streaming solution has been implemented in over a hundred courtrooms, with an additional fifty installs scheduled for 2024. This initiative enables a hybrid approach that accommodates remote participation while maintaining the integrity of the legal process.

“The onset of the pandemic disrupted court proceedings, leading to delays, extended incarcerations and financial implications for several counties and personnel involved with the legal process”, says Stan Mobley, Senior Account Executive at S&L Integrated Systems. “Overnight, there was an immediate need to adapt to the changing environment within the court system, where traditional in-person proceedings faced significant restrictions due to social and physical distancing requirements. In response to the changing environment, the Supreme Court implemented changes allowing video appearances, sparking the need for an efficient video conferencing solution in courtrooms.”

S&L Integrated Systems collaborated with Marshall to develop a four-camera video conferencing solution tailored to the unique needs of courtrooms. The key innovation involved using two Marshall CV503 and/or CV504 fixed lens cameras and two CV-355-10X cameras strategically placed for capturing dedicated views of the judge, witness, prosecution and defense. The quad view arrangement ensures that participants always have a front-facing video feed, offering high-quality visuals and audio.

One of the key features of the solution was the integration of a fifth Marshall CV-355-10X camera dedicated to live streaming. Controlled by the judge’s touch panel, this camera facilitates on-demand live streaming of court proceedings, addressing the legal requirement for open court accessibility. The system ensures that the public can follow hearings remotely while adhering to social distancing measures.

“The courtroom has evolved into a hybrid environment, with an emphasis on convenience for judges to continue utilizing video conferencing and live streaming even when physical attendance is possible”, adds Mobley. “The ability to trigger individual cameras, such as focusing on the judge or witness greatly enhances the system’s flexibility and user-friendliness.”

“The Marshall cameras have successfully standardized courtroom solutions across multiple jurisdictions in the area”, concludes Mobley. “The implementation includes comprehensive training sessions for court personnel and a client care service agreement, ensuring ongoing support and maintenance from S&L Integrated Systems. The project has not only facilitated court proceedings during the onset of the pandemic but has also become a long-term solution for efficient and convenient legal processes.”
