Statement of Objec�ves

Background

• The court room requires substan�al audio/visual/network/projec�on upgrades to reduce costs and �me at trial, reduce cluter and danger from wires, allow for remote tes�mony and remote viewing, and permit the jury/judge/clerk/witness to adequately view/comprehend all evidence during trial and delibera�ons

• A visualiza�on projector must ensure crime weapons, drugs, documents from expert witnesses, and evidence of any type to be easily shown to all court par�cipants in fine detail, from both the prosecu�on and defense tables (or alterna�vely from a central loca�on in the court room) without any interrup�on to proceedings

Technical Requirements

• The visualiza�on projector needs to be able to connect to at least 23 separate devices in the courtroom including 17 tablets, 3 interac�ve displays, 2 large monitors in the courtroom, and a separate large monitor in the delibera�on room

• Addi�onal or personal tablets should be able to connect to the system with litle difficulty

• Individual tablets, computer systems or similar devices at the prosecu�on and defense tables must connect to the tablets and monitors to allow prosecu�on and defense teams to project videos, power points, documents or other demonstra�ve aids in high defini�on to all court par�cipants

• The system needs to integrate all court technology onto one system to reduce paper use

• The system needs to be able to cast the same image on all screens in real-�me to save �me and costs and trial

• The product needs to offer annota�on capabili�es to allow prosecu�on and defense teams and the court reporter to digitally mark, write or draw on the evidence being presented to the court

• The product needs to allow snapshots of what is presented to be captured and preserved for purposes of maintaining prosecu�on, defense and appellate exhibits and an accurate record of the trial proceedings

• The final product needs to have a simple user interface that does not rely on frequent so�ware updates or long start/loading �mes to operate smoothly

• The interface should have the ability to close off certain func�ons to certain individuals, allowing for certain individuals to make annota�ons (such as atorneys and expert witnesses) while not allowing other individuals (such as the jury) to make annota�ons

• The product needs to be wireless (or as minimal wiring as possible) to reduce fire and safety hazards of wires and to reduce cluter, confusion and unprofessionalism in what will be high visibility federal proceedings

• There should be a minimum of 12 wireless microphones integrated into the system to project the sound of the judge, court reporter, witnesses and prosecu�on and defense teams from the court room to the delibera�on room. Ideally the same microphones will be used for transcrip�on of the proceedings

• The system needs to be user-friendly to permit its use by visi�ng court reporters with no more than 2 hours of training on its opera�on

• The system needs to allow for individuals outside of the courtroom to video conference in so that they can tes�fy in court remotely using an internet connec�on, video camera and microphone. Witnesses tes�fying remotely should be visible with sound on the monitors in the court room and the delibera�on room

Statement of Objec�ves

• The system should permit jury members to view the evidence (and only the admited/permited evidence) while in delibera�ons in a separate room. Ideally this will occur on individual tablets carried by each member of the jury

• The system should come with pre-sales advice, installa�on, removal/disposal of old audio/visual equipment, and post-sales support, training, and service, to ensure the Air Force receives the maximum benefit from its investment

• The projec�on/tablet system does not need to be connected to the Air Force network and should not connect independently to Wi-Fi or any internet, but files and data must be able to be uploaded to the system via USB, microUSB, USB-C, CD, DVD, or other means – ideally mul�ple op�ons should be available to get evidence and other files onto and off of the system in a rela�vely quick and easy manner

• Supported file types on the projec�on/tablet system should include .doc, .pdf, .jpg, .png, .avi., .mov, .wmv, .MTS, .mp4, .gif, .vob, and .ppt

• The monitors should be Wi-Fi enabled themselves to allow for the viewing internet-based content, but will not be connected to the Air Force network

• The monitors should also be capable of displaying video and sound from a Wi-Fi connected device (such as a laptop) using HDMI, USB-C, and Bluetooth technology

• The system should allow Wi-Fi access using personal laptop/wireless devices used by judge, clerk, prosecu�on/defense teams, and other necessary trial personnel to ensure seamless and immediate access to online legal systems and digital products. This system does not need to be connected to the Air Force network
