Government Video– “AV Connectivity Courts the Judiciary”
BY ART KINGDOM
“Fairfax County started with one prototype court in 2006 that was developed with the help of the CLCT and implemented by Human Circuit Inc., a media integration firm located in Gaithersburg, Md. Fairfax now has 17 state–of–the–art courtrooms united through a central master control system, according to Lumsden. Fairfax’s courtrooms are part of a complex array of equipment in a setup that rivals most television stations, he said. The courtrooms are outfitted with multiple large flat–panel monitors on the walls. Smaller LCD screens are placed in the jury box and at other strategic locations. Along with audio and video devices, all that equipment is connected to the courtroom’s audiovisual rack and then linked to the courthouse’s master control room.”
