• Lapel micro-
  phones for each speaker to ensure highest audio quality.

• Two evidence presenters (Elmo & Canon) for videotaping documents or 3D models.

• A video mixer which allows for...
  
  split screen shots
   (ie. attorney & deponent)
  
  or Picture-in-Picture (ie. evidence in main display, deponent in corner display.)
   

• We record depos directly to DVD for the ultimate in video quality. We also record a backup of the video straight to hard drive.

• LCD projector and large screen should presentations be necessary.

• Professional lighting kit. Nothing harsh & blinding...just enough to make the video as clear as possible.

• Neutral-colored backdrop eliminates distracting backgrounds, focusing all attention on the deponent.

Off-site Capabilities

-BACK-

• We can edit deposition video based on a judge's ruling on objections using a high-end digital non-linear editing system.

• We can synchronize video and transcripts for any popular trial prep software. This makes it incredibly easy to search for parts of the testimony, and then go instantly to the part of the deposition you need to see.

• We can duplicate deposition video as many times as necessary on DVD, MiniDV, or CDrom.

Strictly by the book

-BACK-

• We strictly adhere to the guidelines laid out in Federal Rule 30 and California Civil Procedure 2205.

• We have a set script that legally begins and ends the deposition video.

• We always announce time for going off record, coming back on record and switching tapes. And we log every objection down to the last second to make them easier to locate when viewing the video.

• No panning, zooming, strange lighting or odd angles -- just a straight forward, well-lit, digitally clear head-and-chest shot.

• We always burn the date & time onto the video.

• We certify every original tape and every copy so as to guarantee it's authenticity, and we immediately break out the record tab so as to prevent accidental erasure.

• We leave nothing to chance.
