Introduction

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah has three courtrooms located on the third floor of the Frank E. Moss Courthouse, 350 South Main Street, in Salt Lake City, Utah: Judge Mosier's courtroom (Room 369), Judge Marker's courtroom (Room 341) and Judge Anderson's courtroom (Room 376).

All three courtrooms have existing AV technology that is outdated, in most cases the equipment is 10 or more years old and is due for an upgrade.

This document serves as an overview of the desired user endpoint design specifications to be included in the upgrade.

This document references two other documents which complete the technical specifications of the proposal: the technical line drawings which shows the connecting points of cabling and wiring from the rack and power connections to the endpoint connections. The second document is a spreadsheet for you to fill out your pricing for each contract line item (CLIN).

Vendors are expected to use this as a specification of what is needed to propose a solution to the Court. In addition, vendors are encouraged to arrange a site visit to make a visual inspection of the existing infrastructure and courtroom layout to complete their understanding of the project scope to submit accurate proposals.

Existing System Tear-Out

The three courtrooms have existing AV systems that the contractor will need to strip and remove.

An allowance will be made for the contractor to reuse the existing racks, however all rack equipment, wiring and harnesses/strapping should be stripped. All wiring and equipment downstream from the rack to the endpoints should be stripped, with the following exception:

Room speakers in the Judge Mosier and Judge Anderson courtrooms have been recently replaced and can be left as is (optionally). The wiring to these speakers from the rack may optionally be left in place if they test good, and the contractor stands behind and warrants them as if they had installed them as new.

Room speakers in the Judge Marker courtroom shall be replaced by the contractor using materials specified in the drawings and Schedule B.

Courtroom Technology Model

Courtroom technology components fall into two broad categories: variable and constant. Variable components include the endpoints providing audio and video capabilities to the courtroom, e.g., microphones, speakers, video screens, and projectors. They are variable because each court will adjust the quantities, preferences, and requirements to satisfy their specific needs. These endpoints vary not only for each court type but also on a court-by-court basis.

Constant components include the equipment rack, network, cabling, and associated hardware that combine to provide the infrastructure used in managing, integrating, and controlling the delivery of AV services.

Illustration 1 depicts this model.

Illustration 1: Courtroom Technology Model

Courtroom Endpoint Components

This section identifies the AV endpoint requirements. The AV endpoint devices are those touched, viewed, or heard by courtroom participants.

Several endpoint baseline recommendations are consistent across all court types. They include:

• Fixed “in place” video: Fixed video capabilities are included for all court types, with the exception of Magistrate courts which are equipped with portable Video Teleconferencing (VTC) services.

• Encrypted wireless communications: Due to the potential for snooping and disruption of services, all wireless devices have encryption enabled, including microphones and wireless network (Wi-Fi) access.

• Monitors or projector systems: a variety of monitors are provided to provide video evidence to persons throughout the courtroom. For Judge Anderson, in addition, a projector and screen are to be provided.

Endpoint detailed requirements are outlined below.

Bench

The area known as the Bench encompasses where the Judge, Courtroom Deputy, Court Recording operator (or Court Reporter), and Witness seating areas are located.

Judge (Upper Bench)

The judge presides over courtroom activity from an elevated platform referred to as the upper bench. The baseline endpoints at this location include:

• Gooseneck microphone. A jack for this microphone is included in the procurement, however the mic itself is provided by the Court.

• Boundary microphone. The boundary microphone supports bench conferences. These microphones are muted unless the sidebar button is activated using the control system touch panel. Once activated, bench conversations are routed only to the court reporter and to the digital audio recording system, while white noise is sent to the loudspeakers for the jury box, witness stand, and gallery to prevent the privileged conversation between judge and counsel from being overheard by other parties.

• A personal desktop speaker with volume control within easy reach generally provides sufficient coverage for the upper bench. These speakers are small and functionally designed to be low profile to avoid line of sight issues and for aesthetic considerations. Speakers should preferably be equipped with non-marking feet.

• Multi-format video input. This provides the judge the option to display evidence from the bench.

• Touch-screen evidence or annotation monitor. The annotation monitor allows the judge to view evidence or communicate with remote litigants and witnesses via video-teleconferencing. It may also be used as a secondary monitor attached to the bench PC.

• Touch panel AV remote control. The touch panel allows the judge to remotely control AV functions, and should provide the same functions as a second touch panel located next to the courtroom deputy. The judge may alternatively use a simplified user control page consisting of the most used button controls, such as sidebar and evidence mute button.

Note: Tablet computers equipped with appropriate control software can be used in lieu of hardware touch panels. Benefits of the tablets include portability, wireless connectivity, and lower cost. Control panel functionality can also be extended to the bench computers’ web browsers via HTML control templates.

• Miscellaneous: assistive listening headphones and wireless lavalier microphones (see design drawings for quantities).

A recent addition to courtroom design is the inclusion of an audio induction loop surrounding the bench area, in support of assistive listening. The location of this loop can include the judge, the courtroom deputy, the court reporter, and the witness. The AV system design must support the ability to shut the audio feed to this loop off when a bench conference occurs.

Each work surface at the upper bench contains openings that support cabling for microphone, control, data, and power. Several circular 45 mm grommets or 20 mm slots are installed at the back of the work surface along the face of the bench as appropriate. The integrity of the bench’s bulletproofing is maintained through the mounting of raceways or wire management systems, or in the modification of the bench.

Cable management coverings and holes in the bench surface have already been provided, and the contractor should not have to provide anything further with the exception of face plates and the cables themselves. (See photo examples in Appendix B-D).

Courtroom Deputy

The courtroom deputy sits at the lower bench and manages courtroom technology by establishing telephone and video-teleconference calls, selecting evidence presentation sources, adjusting audio levels, and digitally recording the proceedings. The baseline endpoints at this location include:

• Gooseneck microphone (provided by Court).

• Speaker. The speaker should deliver full coverage of the lower bench area, with volume controls within easy reach of the courtroom deputy. A desktop speaker typically meets this need. The speaker base should have non-marking feet.

• Small-format monitor for evidence display.

• Multi-format video input.

• Touch panel AV system remote control. The interface should match that of the judge.

Each deputy’s work surface is equipped with multiple openings to route microphone, control, data, and power cables. Several circular 45 mm grommets or 20 mm slots are installed at the back of the work-surface along the face of the bench as needed. These holes have already been made and the contractor should not need to make further cuts.

Court Reporter

The baseline endpoints at the court reporter’s location include:

• Small-format monitor for evidence display.

• (Note: Danté card in the Biamp Server I/O chassis will provide networked audio output for each channel to this station.)

• A playback audio jack so that the court reporter can connect to the AV system to playback the recorded proceedings on demand.

Witness

The baseline endpoints at the witness stand include:

• Gooseneck microphone (court provided).

• Powered desktop speaker, similar to the speaker used at bench locations.

• Wired headphones for assistive listening.

• Multi-format video input.

• In-house interpretation connections (non-Telephone Interpreter Program (TIP)) to allow the in-house interpreter to connect the interpretation control box and headsets into the AV system while remaining in close proximity to the witness.

• Wired handheld microphone so that the interpreter can broadcast to the courtroom when not wearing a headset.1 The shared wired handheld microphone specified for the room can serve this purpose.

• Annotation monitor to display evidence and provide the ability to annotate over the video evidence.

Expert witnesses in Bankruptcy courts sometimes present evidence or other information. The witness stand in these courtrooms is therefore equipped with an additional video input.

The physical dimensions of the witness stand dictate the type and quantity of AV endpoints that can be deployed there. Open sight lines must be maintained so that the judge, jury, and litigants and clearly view the witness. Specialized mounting systems may be required to maintain open sight lines.

Well

The well is a combination of the area surrounding the lectern and counsel tables. Speakers for this location are generally accounted for in the room zone, and are located over the lectern and counsel tables, but can be spread out for proper audio coverage, depending on ceiling structure.

1 Interpreter station includes: one 7-pin jack; two balanced audio cables and one control cable, plenum rated (1 – headphone, 1 – microphone, 1 – control).

Lectern

The lectern in the well area is to be equipped with the following baseline endpoints:

• Shock mounted gooseneck microphone (court provided).

• Touch panel AV remote control. This allows an attorney to present evidence from a laptop, tablet, or other similar device. Unlike the touch panels at the upper and lower bench, the touch panel at the lectern should be configured with controls that only manage the equipment and auxiliary connections used there.

• Touch-screen annotation monitor to view and interact with evidence.

The lectern is also connected to a digital video scaling presentation switcher to reduce the number of wire runs and inputs to the video matrix switcher. The presentation switcher is connected to all of the presentation equipment and legacy auxiliary connections at the lectern.

The lectern should also be equipped with a faceplate that allows the connections to be stored away when not in use, for clean presentation space.

Note that the lectern equipment to be provided in this procurement is not to be integrated by the contractor into the lectern. The lectern furniture modifications will be performed separately by the Court.

Counsel Tables

Each counsel table includes:

• Two gooseneck microphones (court provided).

• Two sets of wired headphones, for assistive listening (excludes Appellate).

• Touch-screen annotation monitor. These allow attorneys to view evidence and annotate over video evidence.

• Multi-format video input. These are capable of sending analog or digital video, along with embedded audio or supplemental analog audio, to the presentation mixer.

The interpreter headset and control box identified for the witness stand can also be used at the defense counsel table.

Gallery

The gallery is the common seating area of the courtroom.

The gallery includes two microphone jacks since, in many bankruptcy proceedings, participants approach microphones from the rail instead of the well area.

The gallery is also included in the white noise zoning to prevent spectators in the gallery from hearing conversations between the judge and counsel during a privileged sidebar conversation.

Room

The overall room specification includes endpoints that serve courtroom-wide or general purpose needs. These include:

• Speakers. Overhead speakers installed in the ceiling generally provide the best audio coverage, and are the speakers specified in the baseline.

• Wired microphone (handheld) and wireless microphones (handheld, lavalier, and conference). The wired microphone can service any location equipped with an audio input, while wireless microphones allow the court to collect audio where standard wired microphones will not reach, such as from an attorney who stands, turns, and walks away from fixed position microphones. Wireless conference microphones can be used to facilitate a privileged conversation between attorney, client, and a telephonic interpreter.

• Assistive listening devices for IR-based assistive listening systems.

• VTC and video streaming cameras. These provide video feeds to the VTC and streaming video equipment. The baseline design for

Bankruptcy courts include three cameras: three VTC cameras directed at the judge, witness, and well area.

• Large-format monitor. In the Mosier and Marker courtrooms, these are recently purchased and do not need to be supplied by the contractor. The Anderson courtroom will have a projector system, instead of a large monitor.
